Editor Jordan, of Punta Gorda,
is one of the ornaments of the Flor
ida press. He is cultured, courteous
and affable; fair and just in all his
writings, which are widely quoted
When Mr.. Cats was coming to Pun
ia Gorda to speak to the voters, the
editor asked him some questions
through his paper-questions bear
ing on his candidacy; questions
which had been asked all over the
State, but not answered; questions
which the voters had right to have
answered. These questions were
couched in the most courteous and
respectful language; they were not
asked when Mr.. Cats back was
turned, but were printed in the pa
per issued the day he was to speak
Instead of answering these questions,
however. Mr.. Cats devoted his time
to abusing Editor Jordan, stating
among other things, that if he is
elected Governor, he will contribute
$500 to start another paper in Pun
ia Gorda to run old Jordan out"
That's the Cats spirit-a fine H.
lustraticn of it. And it is so much
easier to abuse a man than it is to
answer his proper and pertinent
questions

Now that w. v. Knott has beer
declared the Democratic nominee
there is no longer the slightest ex-
cuse for any one claiming to be a
Democrat to fail in giving him
hearty support. Mr.. Knott has all
along said that he would abide by
the result of fair count, and had
the court yesterday ruled against
him, there would have been no pro
test from him or his friends. Now
Mr.. Cats is doing exactly what he
claimed it was wrong for MIR. Knott
to do-he is seeking to get the bene-
fit of some votes he claims were cast
for him, but not counted. His right
to do this is unquestioned, just as
Mr.. Knots right to seek similar
corrections through the courts ought
never to have been questioned.
Should Mr.. Cats, after all, finally
dig up enough votes to sustain his
claim to the nomination through the
courts, this paper will accept him as
the nominee. We will not support
him Enthusiastically de- so would
be the act of hypocrite-but from
the day Mr.. Cats satisfies the prop
er authorities that he is entitled to
the nomination, should that day
ever come, we will accept him as the
nominee, and refrain from adverse
comment or criticism of him until he
may have been elected Governor. AT
ter that we shall discuss his official
character as his conduct may war
rant. We have not the slightest
idea, however. that he can establish
his claims to the nomination.

ELMER TAKES UP
HIS new DUTIES
Secretary Of the Republican
State Central Commit
tee Arrives in Boise.

Charles A. Elmer, well known
newspaper man of this state, former
secretary to Governor Frank r. Good
ing, has just been appoint ID " Chair
man Evan Evans as secretary of the
Republican state central committee. He
is now in Bose and VIII open quarters
in this city the latter part Of the week
upon the arriy,l OF Chairman Evans
from Grangevitic.
Commenting on Elmers select, n, the
Tribune. Lewiston. b. whict Mr.. Elmer
has been employed FOR some time, says:
The selection of IL secretary has
been under consideration for mary
weeks and Mr.. Elmer received the
strong est endorsement CO the party
leaders in all sections If the state. His
long experience in newspaper wor, and
his wide acquaintance IN all sections
of the state will maize ais services
most valuable to the state organiza-
ton of the Republican patty. He Is an
untiring worker and will be able to
give Chairman Evans niost ,alua BILE
assistance in all matters connected with
the coming campaign.
1t is generally recognized that the
direct primary law has necessitated a
reorganization OF the plans for polit-
ical campaigns and that the news
papers and printed matter are the
most effective agencies for reaching
the voters and that somewhere in the
organization of each party must be
an experienced newspaper man to
handle this department of the work
In securing man of Mr.. Elmer's
equipment for the duties of secretary,
Chairman Evans and the entire party
have been most fortunate.
The new secretary is not only ac-
quaintcd with the people of the vari-
Gus sections but he is also familiar
with their conditions and resources
This will allow his usefulness to the
party to e@tend beyond the period OF
ne campaign i, the matter Of pro-
posed legislation that will best serve

WHO DECLINE TO.
Do HIS BIDDING
Tho Ada County Democratic
Chairman Is Alleged to Be
Conducting Affairs With
High Hand.

That A. G.. Hindman, chairman OF
the Democratic county central COM
mittee, has been ousting precinct COM
kmltteemen he appointed some time ago,
revokinK their credentials as it were,
because they do not believe in rule by
the federal club, is the charge that
Democrats of this county are making
against that official. BY this simple
ruse Chairman Hindman. working in
conjunction with State Chairman j. T.
Pence and John F.. Nugent, hopes to
gain control Of the committee at its
meeting Saturday afternoon. There is
not a little Indignation in tile high
handed methods used to Gust commit
teenlen who are not favorable to the
cause" of the federal pie counter of
which Robert III. Elder, national COM
mitteeman. is the chief dispenser. The
tactics point to a contesting delegation
kfrom Ada county Just as there was one
>nelected from Canyon county.
Committeeman ousted.
1t is claimed that Chairman Hind
man and his co-workers have been
canvassing the county thoroughly to
make sure of their ground when the
committee meets. Instances are recit-
ed of where the county chairman has
approached committeeman whom he
had previously appointed demanding
to know where they stood with regard
to the Elder fight in the party. II
they mentioned they were for pri-
mary to permit the rank and file OF
the party to have a say in its pro-
ceedings, they were forthwith informed
they were no longer committeeman
but another had been appointed in
their place. The new appointee, it is
charged, was handpicked as favorable
to the Elder faction OF the party.
The anti Elder faction has in num-
Der Of instances held the proxies OF
the committeeman ousted from office
- this manner When the county
eommittee meets, it is claimed, the
Elder faction, through the county
chairman, will have these proxies an
nulled because the chairman has GUST
ed the committeeman, and appointed
other "favorab BILE" committeeman who
will either be present in person OF
whose proxies they will hold. 1t is fur
Their charged that if he Elder faction
have enough precinct committeeman
present to control the Saturday meet
ing they will bar all proxies. IL they
have not enough, but can control with
the committeeman and proxies com
bined, proxies will be recognized as
taken from the committeeman recent
liz appointed and in this way control
the committees proceedings
Information reached here that the
Democratic committee of Lincoln coun-
ty met at Shoshone and both factions
in the party secured an equal mum

Co. Mir. lacking is also a large stockholder and reputed to have the controlling interest in the Pacific Al aska Navigation Co.,, which company operates what is known as the "Ad- miral Line" of boats. So much for one transportation company
 Let Us now see about the other transportation company At the re cent Republican Divisional Convention of the Third Division, held at Val dez on the l7th day of July 1916, Mr. George C. Hazelet who is generally recognized as the Guggenheim politi- cal representative of the Third Di- vision secured in that Convention the nomination of Mr. Wickersham for Delegate to Congress as candidate of the Republican party of the Third Judicial Division. The aggregation of wealth commonly known as the Guggenheims own the Kcnnccott Mine, the Copper River x Northwest ern Railway Co.,, and the flask. Steamship Company. Does it seem possible that Mir. Hazelet as the poli- tical representative of the Third Di- vision of these immense interests would secure the nomination of a man who was sincerely opposing them? Does it not appear more reasonable that the alleged antagonism of Judge Wickershams to those interests is merely bluff for the purposes of get ting the vote of the minimizing pco- pie. My information is that Mr. Hazclct has been ever since the Cone yeation which nominated Mr. Wick orsham and now is sincerely and earn estly working for the clecti of Nr. Wckersham.
 llr. Wickcrsham devoted a great portion of his recent speech a, Valdez to stating what he had done in the way of securing legislation while in Congress and named a number of laws he had passed but he failed to mention one very important law which he had passed on July IS, 1914, which re.iey- ed the Copper River X Northwestern Railway with other railway companies in Alaska from paying the license tax heretofore imposed of $lO0OO per annum per mile. l fail to find where Mr. Wickersham has ever used his great talents to relieve the restaurant keeper, hotel keeper, cigar store. boarding house, etc, from this fcdcr- al license tax, but he seems to have been moved by a great sympathy for the poor downtrodden Guggenhcims struggling along with their Copper River X Northwestern Railway co. hence he secured the passage of the bill which relieved them from paying S1OO.OO per annum per mile tax on their railroad.

 Democratic National Committeeman

TO THE VOTERS OF ALASKA

I feel it my duty as Democratic National Committeeman for Alaska to reply to a few of the untruthful and inconsistent statements made by Judge Wickersham in his speech at Valdez on the evening of the l4th day of October, 1916.
 Judge Wickersham claimed in Se- attle, Ketchikan, Juneau and other places that he had secured the legis- lation which resulted in the govern ment constructed railroad in Alaska. Knowing this to be an untruthful statement l deemed it my duty to ascertain the facts regarding the Ma tional legislation which authorized the construction of a government owned railroad in Alaska. 1 therefore on August 18th, 1916, wired Secretary Lane to send me history of the Al aska Railroad Legislation in Congress. On August 18th, 1916, in response to this wire l received the following:
 Washington, D. C.,
 August 18th, 1916. T. J. DOnOhoe,
 Valdez, Alaska
 Representatives Flood and William Sulzer introduced bills to create Al aska Railway Commission and Senator Simmons resolution to ascertain cost of transporting equipment from Panama in Sixty Second Congress. House bill ten four eighteen as or ginally introduced by Wickersham providing for legislative assembly did not contain provision for first Alaska Railroad Commission. Provision was inserted by Senatorial Committee. Senate Bill forty-eight was intrOduc- ed by Senator Chamberlain first ses- sion sixty third Congress April seventh, nineteen hundred thirteen who made speech occupying forty one pages Congressional Record. Wicker sham introduced bill in House. Sen ate Bill Chamberlain BilD was sub stituted for House Bill (Wickersham's BnD and passed the HuOse as amend ed February, nineteen hundred four teen, approved by President Wilson March twelfth, nineteen hundred four teen. Railway project and bill had active and continued support of PreSi- dent Wilson and Secretary Lane. (Signed) JONES, Acting Secretary
 Wickersham claims that this reply was compiled by some department clerk and not authorized by Secretary Lane. You will note that my tele- gram was directed to Secretary Lane. At the time this telegram reached Secretary Lane was un- doubteGly engaged on the Mexican Peace Commission of which he is a
