THE DELEGATE AND THE EMPIRE

Delegate Wickersham's pretended rdicule for The Empire has terrors. The Empire is not particular ly interested in what the Delegate pretends to think Of i, 1T it all the circumstances connected with his attacks on h would arouse pride rather than any other emotion The fact that @ year and half ago he rented a hall. and denounced The Empire as a menace to Alaska because it supported the very things that he has written in his platform and which he protested over and over in both Of his Gastneau Channel speeches that he stands for would be enough to cause exutaton if The Empire interested in the controversy as controversy Practically all of the dec larauons Of policies and principles in Wickershams platform and speeches were taken frol the editorial columns of The Empire after he had spent two years in deuouncng them and from the Democratic Territor. ial platform. He t-ed to make them unpopular. and failing he adopted them as his own.
 As the Delegate reached Gastineau Channel he seemed to try to shape his course as to conform 10 The Empires position on practically all of the Alaskan questions He washed his hands of the mud tha. he began throwing the calendar indicated an approaching election and which he kept in action until after he had passed several of the towns of Southeastern Alaska. He came here as meek and lowly and amiable ever came mission ary among Alaska Indians. He did not so so far as to denounce the Ketchikan fishing bin. He all for harmony and co-opertaoin.
 There is an old saying that actions speak louder than words therefore The Empire. if it were inter- ested in the Delegates attitude toward itself would be pleased
 But the Delegates attitude toward The Empire is not an issue in this campaign The issue is between Senator Sulzer and his record and the Delegate and his record On the hand we have a private citi- zen who is in harmony with the best there is in AL aska who was called from the busy affairs of an active mining life to carry standard that exactly defines his consistent position Alaska questions and on the other hand have perpetual seeker for office who trims his sails catch the varying breeze On the one hand we have earnest honest, sincere worker for the common good, on the other hand a man who trades in "pifre in Washington and peddle in Alaska"
 Ina, is the issue in which The Empire is in tensely interested and its interest is identical with that of all the voters oi Alaska.

COL. RICHARDSON AND sELEGovERNMENr

In his speech" that never delivered Dele gate Wickersham accused Col. Richardson of being supporter Of the Beyeridge commission bill Those who have known Col Richardson long know that the contention is not based on fact. Col Richardson an advocate or Territorial government for Alaska than dozen years ago. and has always urged it. He was an advocate Of it when Judge Wickersham writing letters from the bench in opposition to 1t. He was an advocate of it when Judge Wickersham was writing the Gale commission government bill, nearly like the Beyeridge bill as two peas in pod He was for it when Delegate wickersham introduced his Territorial government which required Congress to approve every act of the Legislature before it would become effective He was for it for the two or three years that the people of Alaska begged that the powers of the Legislature be increased during which Delegate Wckersham contended that the cost os full Territorial form Of government would ruin the Territory.
 Col Richardson answers this portion of Delegate wickersham's speech" that never delivered in a communication to the Valdez Miner as follows

THE RETICENcE OF WICK"

JUNEAU, Sept. 25. To the Edi- tor.-The whole-souled appreciation which Judge Wlckersham has for the labors of the Delegate at Wash ington, the size, the length and the breadth of them, may be illustrat- ed by conversation, overheard, of course, on the street:
 "Wonderful man, Wickersham. Were you at his meeting the other night.
 "of course, was; everybody in town was"

 Tt may be a form Of humor on his part, or it may be O sort of war cry that he has adopted to terrorize the administration and Congress into granting him appropriations and other legislation he claims to have got ten through for Alaska

Delegate wickersham asked why the Democrats do not get full Territorial government bill through Congress In other words. why do not the Democrats of Alaska go to Washington at their own expense represent Alaska there, get needed legislation, and permit him to draw his salary in peace? Wickersham wants the office and the salary and is careless as to other results

The Democrats are about to answer Delegate wickershams query as to why they don't get self government for Alaska.
