in certain eventualites, will have results bound to extend over a long period of time. He is acting with his usual courage and sanity.
 '1n my opinion MT. Hughes, if Presl- dent, would find it difficult to decide on the best course for the government to take in this strike. His capacity for hlndsight, as we learn from his speeches, is highly developed, but as to his foresight we are not equally we'll informed.
 "Mr. Wilson has now had about four years of experience, and he has earned faith and trust. 1 do not think it logical or sensible thing to change to an inexpcr- cnced and untrled man just for the sake of change or without much better reasons being given for the change than l have no ticed.
 Roosevelt was my choice. He has had experience, and is one of the best of Ameri cans, but the machine controlled Repub lcan party would not have him. Therefore am for Woodrow Wilson"

WHY THCMAS A. EDISON
 INDORSES PRESIDENT WILSON

Thomas A. Edison yesterday showed that he is one of the original T. R. men who will not fellow the Colonel back into the Republican camp. He came out unequiv- ocallv in favor of the re election of Presl- dent Wilson, says the New York World ot September 4.
 Not since 1S6O," Mir Edison said in a formal statement, "has any campaign made such direct call on simon-pure American ism. The times are too serious to talk or think in terms of Republicanlsm or Democ- racv. Real Americans must drop parties and get down to big fundamental prlncl- pes.
 More than any other President in my memory, Wilson has been faced by sue cegsion of tremendous problems any one Of which, decided the wrong way, would have had disastrous consequences. Wilson's de cisicns so far have not got US into any serious trouble, nor are they likely to.
 "He has given Us peace with honor. This talk about the United States being desPlsed is nonsense. Neutrality is 8 mighty trying policy, but back of it are international law, the rights of humanity and the future of civilization.
 With reference to Mexico, l think that the President has acted wisely, justly and courageously It was right that the United States should not have recognized such a murderous personality as Huerta. do not believe that we should have lntervened, nor do I believe that we should intervene now Mexico is a troublesome nelghbor just now, but war and conquest are not going to make her a better one. Both against England and against human slavery the United States worked out its salvation through revolution, and it was a pretty slow, trying process.
 "It has been said that Wilson at first was against preparedness. Perhaps he was, but when convinced that intelligent public opln- ion was overwhelmingly in favor Of 1t he changed That is the proper thing tor our President to do. A President defiant Of public opinion would be a dangerous man in our system of government.
 His attitude on the tariff shows an equal openness of mind A tariff commission will take the whole problem out ot politics. II is my hope that experts will be named, and that the body will be continuing and vested almost with the dignity of the supreme court.
 "They say he has blundered. Perhaps he has. But I notice that he usually blun ders forward You cant get 100 per cent efficiency in a democracy. don't kno" that we ought to want it. We would be machines and we would have to sacrifice too much of freedom.
 ''As l said at the start, 1t has been just one big thing after another with Wilson I have never known so many dangerous questions brought up for decision to any enc President, Now he has the general strike of the skilled railway men, which, il carried out, will throw the whole country l into confusion and prove a calamity that

GEORGE GRIGSBY AT SEWARD
 MAKES ATTACK ON DELEGATE

SEWARD Sept. 15.- George B. Grig5by, Democratic nominee for attorney general speaking to an immense and enthusiastic audience here last night in addition to lay ing bare the record of Delegate Wicker sham as delegate to congress and on the issues which confront the people of Alaska, demolished the attacks upon himself by George D. Schoheld, Republican nominee for attorney general, and showed that he (Grigsby) not only did not prosecute long shorcmen at Nome, but that ha is the regu lar attorney for organized l&bor at Nome, and is receiving its support in his race for attorney general.
 MT Grigsby spoke for two hours, present ing an array of facts, backed by the recorded proof showing that Wlckersham's pretendcd fight on the Guggenheim and salmon can nery interests to be insnccre and for cam paign purposes only. He proved that it was Wckersham who was responsible for the organic act Limitations, limiting the powers of the Alaska legislature in that regard He showed that WIckersham was also re sponsible for the other limitations in the act which made 1t less than full territorial form of government measure.
 Mir Grigsby utterly demolished SchoheId's $ charge that Grigsby had prosecuted Nome longshoremcn, and for proof of his assertions he called upon several men who were m the audience and who were formerly members of the Nome Longshoremcn's Union. These men, without exception, verified the state mcnts of Mir Grigsby, and all of them prom ised to support him and to do all within their power to help elect him. He character, ized Schoheld and w. A. Gilmore aS "hy phenaed Alaskans," who reside and prac- tce law in Seattle.
 While MT. Grigsby devoted enough of his time to his own candidacy to answer his opponents charges, he spent more than three -fourths of the two hours which he used in supporting Charles A. SuI4cr's can didacy, and denouncng Wickersham ana his record He said that Nlckersham had always been cn the tail end of al pro posed legislation for Alaska, and that with this tail held he had spent more time pull ing back than he did in urging forwara movement.

MYSTERIOUS" WHEELER
 ACQUIRES A HELPMEE I

Deeming Wheeler, the mysterious musher" who for the past several years has made annual trips to the Interior of Alaska during the winter, and who has aroused endless speculation as to his antecedcnts end the purpose of his journeys, vas re gently married in San Francisco. Mir. Wheeler visited Iditarod in the winter of 1014-15. and is quite well remembered here. The news of his marriage evidently had not preceded him to Juneau, where he arrived recently, and the Dispatch of that city has the following relating to him
 It is the ambition of Deming Wheeler, the '1nysterious musher' of the Northland, to own and drive a team of pure wolf hounds While passing through Juneau for the westward on the Mariposa he bought the wolf pup recently secured by George Gilbert, and intends to secure enough to form full team of dogs for mushing the Alaska wilds
 Mir. Wheeler is supposed to be a mil ionaire banker from some place in the East In any event, he always has plenty of funds For the past several years he has returned to Alaska each winter and taken long mush with a servlceable bas- ket sleigh and the best team of dogs avail able He has mushed already to Fairbanks and return, to Nome and return, to the base of Mount Mckinley and return, and even to the north of Nome towards the Arctic and return.
 MT Wheeler was accompanied thls tune by a slight, fne-looking woman, and hls Alaska friends are wondering if she were a bride and the couple are on their honey moon, or whether Mir Wheeler has been married some time and is taking his wife along for his winter mush over the frozen wilderness this winter.
 The wolf pup, bought here by Mir Wheeler was secured by George Gilbert from a native and was the pure quill. Mir. Wheeler became apprised of the fact that Gilbert was the posses8or of one and when the Mariposa was in port he visited MT. Gilbert and bargain was soon struck. He took the pup with him to Cordova, where he will outfit for his mush this win ter. He stated that it was his desire to secure full team of real wolves, and told Mir, Gilbert that if he could secure any other wolf pups to be sure and let him know"
