ONLY ONE REPUBLICAN IN DEBATE

The Empire Saturday said that in the debate at the hearing before the committee oR the Fisheries Bureau Bill Mr. Wckersham's controversy was with two Republican members Of Congress. Mr. Rowe. of Brooklyn, and MT. Britten. of Chicago. The Dispatch yesterday said that it was not Mr. Britten. the Con- gressmar. who debated with Mr. Wickersham but NIr. Britton. Washington city lawyer.
 The Dispatchs explanation is like Topsy's ndig- nant defense Of her ilegitimate baby Topsy said. But it's such a little thing"
 The Empire in error. Therefore there was Republican Congressman instead of two engaged in the controversy with Mr. Wickersham However every Republican member Of the fisheries committee agreed to the report in favor of the Fisheries Bureau bm
 That does not prove that the Republican party is responsible for the b but does prove that the Republican party is just as nearly responsible for it the Democratic.
 Democrats could say that the Republican party approves the bill because it has nominated the most influential canneryman Of Southeastern Alaska for Territorial Senator and they could say that Wicker sham is supporter Of the fish trust" because his Juneau managers are supporting that canneryman for the Legislature. But that would be peanut politics just is Wickersham effort to fasteu the Alexander bill the Wilson administration peanut policies. and as is the Dispatchs attempts to beltte the Federal officials of the First Division

THE ARMED TRUCE IN THE c. O. P.
Seattle Timesl


 The reception at the Union League Club in New yersity of Republican thought and leadership this year. Likewise 1t demonstrated the sundry rfts in the Republican lute-rifts which have been patched up in order to produce a strain Of party harmony during the national campaign but which cannot be ignored even by the most ardent member Of the or ganization.
 When Colonel Roosevelt and Professor Taft met last night they shook hands and exchanged conven- tonal salutations but there cordiaGty in the greeting and warmth in the handclasp. Taft is hundred pounds lighter in physical weight and Roose sevelt grayer and more lined of face than in the Dear Will" and Dear Theodore" days. but advancing years have modified their aversion one for the other.
 Taft according to reports was the inst to extend his hand when the men met, with unsmiltng faces. last night. This is exactly what would have eX pected under the circumstances The philosophers bitter anger may be deep the soldiers, but he was the more willing relax in effort To promote the success Of plan aimed to assure party unity this year
 What a world of potential political dynamite there York club last night
 Taft and George W. Perkins, Roosevelts right hand in 1912. also exchanged greetings. Here was another armed truce," based wholly Q tual desire tO beat Wilson, Moreover there lesser feuds out of number arising from the schsm in 1912 and the national convention ms year. For instance particular warmth m9rkel the meeting of the Colonel with Bo!s Penrose Senator from Penn sylvania.
 The Union League reception more than any other event of the campaign. served to illustrate the deli cate problem with which the Republican National Committee has had Co deal this year in it's efforts to promote a sembance of party harmony

NA ALTERNATIVE FOR REPUBLICANS

Bear this in mind Wickersham does not offer alternative those who think Republican could do more for Alaska at Washington than Democrat WICKERSHAM IS NOT A REPUBLICAN,. To be a Republican or to be Democrat one must be a unit in cooperative organization A Republican is a mem Der Of the organization Of associated citizens who are acting through the Republican party for the common good. just as Democrat is member of the organt zation Of associated citizens who acting through the Democratic party for the common good. WICK ERSHAN IS NOT ONE OF THE ASSOCIATED CITIZENS WHO ARE ACTING THROUGH THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. He refuses to cooperate with any organization He nominates himseli for Delegate to Congress- writes his own platforms. and is not associated with any When in Washington. and he has said t himself. he is lonesome outcast He has no associates with whom he can cooperate or who will cooperate with him. He has claims on the Republican party.
 The end of Republicans and Democrats alike is good government To be a Republican or a Demo crat first of all be adherent of the American theory of organized. cooperative action for the good That idea is represented in the candidacy Of Senator Sulzer. It is not represented in the can didacy of Delegate Wickersham. Under conditions as they exist in Alaska at this time Republican best support the things that the Republican party stands for by voting for Senator Sulzer.
The Alaska daily empire., 1916-10-16

not know what is the position Of any candidate for office on this matter It knows that Delegate Wick ersham took both sides Of 1t within the space of a few recent weeks, but 1t knows he has been away from Southeastern Alaska for quite a spell now and has had time to change several more times. The Empire believes that the fisheries industry of South eastern Alaska should be centered in Alaska towns, and believes that 1t can be saved for Alaska towns without costing the fishermen fraction of cent Q pound in the price of their product and without ploc-
 ing them one hour farther from their markets or their consumers It fayors adjustment Of the matter that would reduce the price of fish or impair the de- mand for it.

WHY NOT TRY A CHANGE?

The administration gave us a railroad while Wick ersham was Delegate to Congress; the Secretary of the Treasury induced the House committee on public buildings to report favorable for capital building appropriation while Wickersham was Delegate to Congress; Col. Richardson has got us many approp- riatons for roads while Wickersham has been mem ber of Congress; Jim King got school bonding bill through Congress for us therefore. the wces argue we should retain Wickersham in Congress. because somebody else might get us some more things while he has the disposition and capacity to do something for us, himself? would save the public the cost of lob byists when something is needed by the public

 At the time this is written, Senator Sulzer Demo cratic candidate for Delegate to Congress at the com ing election Is expected to arrive in our midst for a brief stay after absence of several weeks cam paigning throughout the territory.
 Senator Sulzer is Alaskan in the full sense of the word. He came here when only mere boy and by his assiduity Go labor, he worked his way up both in the financial world and the confidence of the people He is one of His interests are all in Alaska In view of that fact let the people of Ket chikan rise to the occasion and give him royal wei come on his return home eLt us forget our political dierences. if any. and join in making his stay with us an occasion to be long remembered.

Delegate Wckersham admits that nothing he asks for win receive the support Of the ranking Republican member of the Senate committee on Territories Sen ator Knute Nelson. That is just Of the many handicaps that Alaska labors under on account Of the unsuitable Wickersham appetite for office

And now Delegate wickersham knocks all those Albert Johnson interyiewers on the head by with drawing bis claim to credit for the Alaska railroad. He said at Seward that the railroad is the result of general cooperation Of all parties. At Juneau he said q GOT IT." This was disprOved. Then he whines, they are trying to drag the railroad into politics"

The Dispatch says Wickersham saved $5OOoOo to Alaska by getting amendment to bill that never was passed. That is like many of the things he has got-the additional capitol appropriation, for instance which has not been made.

While 1t is true that a very logical talk was made here recently by the Socialist candidate for Delegate to Congress, it is also true that such candidate stands absolutely show for election. Therefore it is up to those who have no use for the present Delegate to vote for the candidate who stands the best show for defeating him. This is good political logic - Douglas Island News)

THE GULLIBLE PoLrIcIANs
CKetchikan ProgressiYe.Miner


 In every campaign, politicians and office seek CTS go about the country addressing meetings here and there. presenting their sides for admiration and draw votes. There be objection to that. It is perfectly in every respect. and if they would confine themselves to that there would be no reason to complain But they don't. That's the trouble.
 Men coming from the westward bring reports of what Delegate Wickersham said at other places, which differ very materially from what he said here He is reported to have different story for each place he visits. It might be a good thing if law was passed providing for the recording of political speeches If this done the voters could not only discover the liars but could also discover if some thing said at all We have heard political speak CTS who talked and talked and talked yet they never said anything They appear to be unable to hit the least give some one something to do The way 1t is now forced to listen to whole lot of iab. bering that benefits no one
 Between the who has different story for each place and the who talks without saving anything, need not wonder that the people take very little interest in most of the political meetings
