THE EMPIRE AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

The Empire is not enemy of the Republican party. It Is enemy Of any party or organiza. tiOn or person that is working the good of Alaska The Empire is attempting to serve Alaska and it's country by working with the Democratic party. It is doing that because it believes that the Democratic party it is organized comes uesrcr standing for the democratic principles that are essential for the welfare Os the Nation and Alaska than any other political party and t believes the Democratic party
 in the Nation and the Territory is better organized for efficient service than any other political party
 However. The Empire recognizes that thousands Of others who just patriotic as 1t is and just as earnest in trying to the country and Alaska believe that they do better in the Republican party, and thousands of them giving the Nation and Territory good service in that party. The En- pire is not their enemy. Its purpose and their pur. pose are the same The Empire would be greatly pleased if there were ten thousand more patriotic citizens working to aid in the development Alaska along the right lines in the Republican party and none would shout louder in approval at every forward step they would secure for the Territory The Demo cratic party has done and is doing excellent work for Alaska. The Empire is proud Of it's record achieve anen and pleased because of the evidence is giving every opportunity it's ability to serve even more efficiently than in the past Should the Republican party gain power t would rejoice if it should do even better for the Territory.
 The Empire has contended that the Wickersham.
 ties in this Territory are organized net for service to the public much advance the political anl bitions Of James Wckersham. and in substantiatiou O; it's claim is the record the party It is purely Q local organization, and operates under different names in different parts of the Territory The record O. its-we about to say leader, but dictator is more approprate-s that of one who has taken nearly every side Of nearly every question that has been before the people Of the Territory one who has of. tered remedy for Alaska's perplexng problems one who has devoted his energies solely to the promotion of his political ambitions and endeavoring to pun sh those who stand in his way. I is not organized In the interest Of good government Its record indicates that with t party success is the only purpOseGul end We do not mean to say that 1t has received the support Of good citizens. That would be true But the good citizens who have supported it are not ,f the organization They are simply followers Of is the party.

ALASKA MUST HAVE ROADS
lSeward Gatewavl

kSeWard Gateway
 Word comes from Washington that the half mil lion dollar appropriation for roads cut from the military appropriation by the house is enough to rise the ire of all Aaskans
 From Valdez Saturday, came plea that Seward join in protest and earnest effort have the fund restored before the bill is passed by the Senate This plea also contained the information that the approp. riaton had been cut out motion of Delegate Wick ersham. A telegram rushed to Senator Chamber lain by the Chamber of Commerce. asking him to do all in his power for the measure.
 Should full reports from Washington show this to be the the Delegate will be in for severe criti. cism from his constituents. It is difficult to imagine eXenuating circumstances sufficiently serious to rant such action.
 Until the facts at hand, however, 1t is best that judgment should be withheld In the meantime every person in Seward who cares to bear the eX- pense of telegram might well wire to the Delegate and tO Senator Chamberlain chairman of the commit. tee which has this bill in hand in the Senate That the people of Seward want that road and trail approD riaon to so through is certain The building of roads and trails as feeders to the government railroad and throughout the Territory must not be stopped.
 Action on the bill is expected before Wednesday, SO obey that impulse
