WICK HAS NO CLAIM ON REPUBLICANS

There is absolutely re2scn. in the world why a Republican should vote for Delegate Wickersham. He does not work with the Republicans. He has no party affiliations. His candidacy has Republican authority behind it. The Republican party of Alaska refused to nominate him just the Democratic party refused nominate him years ago when he sought the nomination from that party
 Not only is Wickersham net Republican, but in the Third Division he is running as Progressive Democrat" on the same ticket with J. II. Cobb end Jchn W. Frame He nominated n that Division by the Progressive Democratic" convention just as he nominated by it two years ego
 Following his nomination for Delegate to Congress two years ago as a Progressive Democrat" and his subsequent election he said in speech at the Arctic Club in Seattle: There are two parties in Alaska the Democratic and the Progressive DemOcratic; an Progressive Democr2>.'"
 In the Fourth Division Wickersham is running as "Non.Partisan which is the designation of the "Wiekersham Party" in that section.
 At Nome he is running as an independent"
 No where is Wickersham running as a Republi- can, and in this Division only is there a fight being made for him as a Republican
The Alaska daily empire., 1916-11-04

Every Republican whose interest in his political party is that it should be useful servant of good government in Alaska should vote for Senator Sulzer who represents the principle Of cooperative action for the public welfare. and against Wickersham who stands against organized public service
The Alaska daily empire., 1916-11-04

The workingmen's first interest in Alaskan prob. Iems is to bring them for settlement to Alaska where the workingmen can reach them. The underlying principle of Senator Suzers candidacy is to bring the government of Alaska to the people of Alaska. HE STANDS FOR SELEGOVERNMENT.
The Alaska daily empire., 1916-11-04

Senator sulzer stands for the government of Alaska by Alaskaus in Alaska. Until we get that the masses can have no part in their government Until we get that the government Of Alaska will be by those who have the most intimate connections at the National capital situated 4OoO miles away

NEGRO DEMOCRATS FOR HUGHES

To the Editor of Evening Ledger:
Sir-In the presidential campaign of 1915
the Republican party will witness the re-
turn OF not only Colonel Roosevelt and his
Progressive adherents, but also thousands
of negro Republicans who voted the DEM
ocratlc ticket in 1919.
For nearly a half century negro voters
of this country stood almost as unit in
their loyalty to the Republican party. Dur
ing this time two negroes served in the
United States Senate and 20 in the House
of Representatives, while numerous other
positions, such as Registrar OF the Treas
ury, Minister to Haiti and Recorder of
Deeds for the District of Columbia were
awarded to negro politicians by Republican
Presidents.
This party of Lincoln. Grant, Frederick
Douglass, Kelly Miller and Booker T. WASH
ington was the party OF 100000 negro
Americans when Mr.. w. Fl. Taft became
President in 1908 Unfortunately Presi-
dent Taft's Southern policy as regarded the
appointment of negroes TO political posi-
tions In the South aroused so much dissatis-
faction among the members OF the negro
race that several withdrew from the party
and organized the National Negro Democ-
racy of America. Bishop Alexander Wal
ters of the African Methodist Episcopal
Zion Church, was elected president.
In the presidential campaign of 1912 this
organization appointed a committee to
certain the Democratic candidates attitude
on the race problem and TO inform him that
negro voters were bitterly opposed to mob
rule. lynchIng. segregation and all uncon-
sttutional State laws in the South. Mr..
Wilson was also apprised of the fact that
negroes were clamoring for a fair share
in the benefits OF public expenditures and
an equal opportunity in public office and
public service
Mr.. Wilson. II is claimed assured the
committee that he was strenuously antag-
onistic 10 any act OF discrimination on ac-
count OF race, creed or color. AS result
of this assurance eloquent and influential
negro orators toured this country in be-
half of Wilson and the Democratic party.
But conditions have changed The negro
Democrats who lauded Mr.. Wilson in 1912
are the loudest In advocating his over
wheIming defeat In 1916. They contend
that the President has absolutely failed to
keep his pre-eection promises, inasmuch
as ne has introduced segregation In the
governmental departments at Washington
ana has praeticed discrimination In Gov
ernmental appointments. He has not only
deprived the negro OF such positions as

A treacherous fIankInr novsman,

A treacherous fianking movement
attacking one of Americas most cher.
iHhsd traditions. is reported from the
town OF Ripon. Wis. The Commercial
Club OF that city has telegraphed sena
Tor Hnsting and advised that the $4,000
appropriated by Congress for a public
building at Ripon be diverted to help
equip the National Guard. Senator Hust-
ing may be recalled as the man who
scornfuiIy braved every hyphen in his
State and won out against them. The
combination of a courageous Senator
who cares more for principles than for
his vote and a sown which puts the
sosntry before it's public buildings is
shocking to a good moral sense. Is Wis
conain about to secede from the Union?
