ILLUSTRATIVE INSTANCES.

Imagine Judge Wickersham sitting at lunch with political enemy-and paying for the lunch-and giving the enemy the aid of his counsel and in- formation, and later aiding him with his time, ac- quaintance and influence! This is what Gov. Riggs says he has Delegate Sulzer do for Wckite just because the latter Alaskan.
 Compare the attitude of Delegate Sulzer when Alaskans come him for assistance with that of Judge Wickersham when Jim King went to Wash ington to get the former Delegate to aid in getting school house for this city. First, Wckersham said it couldn't be done, and next he asked King if he would help Wickersham in the campaign if he would give assistance What better comparison would one want between between constructive service and per sonal politics.
 Other circumstances illustrative of other diff ferences. For instance: An Alaskan in Washington asked Wickersham for aid, and, impatienty, Wickersham exclaimed the people of Alaska seem to think their Delegate to Congress is messenger boy. Compare that with the experience of any one who went to Washington and sought the aid of Delegate Sulzer-et that one be Democrat Repub- lican Wickite and let him live where in the Ter ritory that he may.

 Such program had for eight long years under Wickersham, during whose regime, whether the Gov ernment was Republican Democratic he has been charging around like drunken Mick on the 17th of March.
 He has fought capital coming in. He has assisted lot of crazy naturaliss in hogtying the resources of the country He has called every public man that he has come in contact with names until such indi- vldual has passed him up in the same manner that you up l. w. w. He has shown us anything that he wanted do that would be of ma teria assistance to
 At the present time it must be admitted that all legislation that is not directly in line with the war program will get but mighty little consideration but let send man down Washington who has a con sructive program figured that will assist us and then if we should get big international job com peted in any reasonable time Delegate can step in and do lot of good.
