W. Seward meridian This land was withdrawn at time when it was thought that it would be needed for railroad and townsite purposes. The line Of the railroad has now been definitely To- cated. and it is found that there is no need for the land.

not a party measure. It was passed by both Republican and Democratic votes. There is no politics in the rail road now, and there ought never to be"
 The delegate then went into the history ef the railroad, showing that President Taft appointed the first commission shortly after he signed the territorial government bill. lie read letters showing that he. at the request of others, drew the eighteenth section of the act, providing for the appointment of the railroad commits sion named by Taft. which included Morrow. Cox, Brooks and Ingersoll. This committee reported favorably to Taft, and in his message of February 6, 1913, he urged congress to take i'm mediate action.
 The delegate took up the question of the full form of territorial" gov ernment and said there were now 26 governments in Alaska besides the Alaska legislative government He said the twenty-six other governments were controlled by bureaus at Wash ington, and that they oyerlnpped and interloeked and were intensely jea- lous of their prerogatives and tended to choke and smother development in Alaska.
 He said that Of all these govern, ments the bureau Of fisheries had given him the most trouble, stating

 Reading from his platform of 1908 the delegate called attention to the fact that in that document he pledged himself to work for a government rail road, and for territorial government.
 q introduced that bill which pro yides the present system of territorial government" said WiCkersham. This is conceded even by my enemies, now that defects are beginning to show in the system evolved, and I am being blamed. That is the way 1t is with some of my enemies They deny that I have worked for the good measures, but when they find anything wrong they blame me.
 Just now am being accused of not getting the railroad bill passed. Wait till about ten years from now when they find things about the railroad that do not work out we'll in practice and they will blame me with 1t all.
