SENATOR DAN SUTHERLAND MAKES POOR SHOWING
 IN ATTACK ON COURTS

Senator Dan Sutherland of Ruby, repre- senting the Fourth division in the terri torial legislature at Juneau, has been mak- ing some sensational assertions recently Tn regard to court decisions On March 20 he dispatched the following telegram to Dan Drscoll, at Fairbanks, and it was repro duced in the newspapers there
 Jennings today ordered board to file an swer Thursday showing why certificate should not go to Sulzer. Protest will be filed tomorrow Contest will go to house of rep resentatives, Washington. It IS the rawest job ever pulled off by the machine at Ju- neau. and will ruin them"
 The telegram was, of course, in reference to the decision of Judge Jennings in the dis puted election case, in which Sulzer WAS declared to be entitled to the certificate of election as congressional delegate from Alaska Attorneys have expressed the opin- ion that the telegram approaches contempt of court.

What Started Ii

The editorial in the Juneau Empire, which was the excuse for the performance of Sen ator Sutherland was as follows
 We are inclined to believe that Senator Sutherland's charge last night that men were railroaded' to the penitentiary in the Fourth division was the result of anger and a natural partisanshp that causes him to make extravagant and undignifed accusa- tions in heated partisan campaigns. That it is unthinkably untrue he knows and we do not believe that he would make the charge in moment of calm"
 In the same issue of the paper appeared another paragraph touching the political situation which was as follows:
 If the Democratic machine in the Fourth division is what Senator Sutherland
Iditarod pioneer., 1917-05-05


 ion that the telegram approaches contempt of court.
 Another Outburst
 In the territorial senate on March 24 Sen ator Sutherland announced that he would ask unanimous consent on the following Mon day, as matter of personal privilege, to present documents to the senate which, he said were conclusive proof that the Fair banks federal officials were railroading men to the penitentiary He declared his action to be necessary in order to reply to an edl- torial in the Juneau Empire in which it was said that Sutherland Knows his state ments in that regard are unthinkable and untrue"
 According to announcement. Senator Sutherland addressed the senate on March 26 in an effort to justify himself for the statement that Den Callahan and others had been ralroaded to the penitentiary by the officials of the Fourth division because they would not affiliate with the Democratic party According to the News Miners cor respondent it WAS a tame exhibition. Spec tators who went to the senate chamber to listen were much disappointed. The ac count proceeds:
 'I will reiterate the remarks that 1 made stating that men from the Fourth division were ralroaded to the penitentiary," he said "The whole proceeding was as raw piece of work as vas ever pulled. It was stench in the noStrils of the people of that section 1 base my assertions upon 8 cartoon which appeared in the Alaska Citizen on April 3, 19l6'
 The senator then read everything which had ever been printed editorially about the matter from all the Fairbanks papers and from the Nome Nugget He said that he had never stated that Callahan got into trouble because he was not a Democrat, but declared that what he had said was that the CalIahan trouble was caused by dis agreement between Erwin and Callahan as to natronage.
 He charged that the court should have instructed verdict, not allowing the cases to go to the jury. He practically charged that the whole prosecution was a frame-up between United States Attorney R. F. Roth. Marshal L. T Erwin and Chief Deputy Mar shal j. H. Miller
 Then turning to himself. he reviewed his personal history from boyhood; stated that on account of the large vote accorded him in the Fourth, with the district attorney, the marshal's office and all the newspapers against him. he had the confidence of his neirhbors, who would not believe him liar.
 His appeal was considered like that of big boy, about to cry. He talked for over an hour on purely political and personal matters His final charge was that the Democratic machine of Alaska and the Fourth division is standing in the way of justice.
