 SUPPORT THE PARTY OF PRESIDENT
 WILSON
 Hon. Charles A. Si,lzer is the candidate of the Democratic party for delegate from Alaska for the next two years. He has Loyalty supported the President in his course and been loyal to his constituents at all times. Yesterday President Wilson issued an appeal to Alaskans to re-elect Delegate Sulzer for another term It is true that the Presi- dent did not call Mir. Suzer by name, but neither did he call any other candidate by name. But his appeal is issued to the people of the United States To the people of Alas ka just as much as to those of Mississippi, or Maine, or California or any other state in the Union.
 He asks that the people return a Demo- cratic house and senate in order that his prestige may be upheld; that his influence in world affairs may not be undermined by even a seeming repudiation of his policies It is an indisputable fact that European nations and governments will regard Republican victory at the polls as a repudiation by Americans of both the President and his doctrines. And according to European customs and standards, IOy "iliNh I<ulO OPSe'll SONSI VIII IOl their judgments, this is undoubtedly true. If |you happen to be a member of the Republican party in Fairbanks, or some other town, ask your leaders, inquire of the best informed Republican whom you know, and he will con- firm this statement if he is honest with you.
 It is needless to claim that what Alaska does will not count It will and does count. Alaska is an integral part of the Union. The If Ala ;c a conclusion as to the war sentiment in the of any other state or section of the Union. What are you going to do about it?
 Yesterday from the White House, weighted down by the burdens which have been forced upon him by this awful war; bur dens not of his own seeking but thrust upon him by the unspeakabe barbarities of the Huns, your President took a few minutes to ask that you come to his assistance now when it is needed to uphold him before the court of European opinion to ask you personally to support those candidates who are members of the party of which he is head and with whose support he was given the leadership of the United States. Are you going to do this or are you going to add to the load which he is already bearing, load of cares and re-
 
 man has ever before assumed in the history of the world?
 Read what he, in effect, says to each and every citizen of the United States, which is this "If you believe in me and my doctrines, ii you support my course in this critical peri cd of our country's history, support the can- didates of the Democratic party in their race for congress in order that my leadership may not be repudiated in the eyes of the world across the water" The quotations are ours, but the sense of the words is Mr. Wilson's. We cannot add nor take away from it. It is addressed personally to every American, to each of us, the lowest or highest, Republican, Socialist, Democrat, or any other political faith. And we do not believe that Alaskans will so vote that in the future it can be said of them that they refused to heed the appeal of President Wilson and that they did re- pudiate the American in whom the world for two years now has placed its hopes for hu- manity President Wilson asks you to obliter- ate party lines and show your belief in him by voting for Charles A. Sulzer in the com ing election, and we are confident that loyal Alaskans are going to respond gladly to this call to come to their Presidents aid.
