 FIGHTING WICK
 STRONG SCHEME
Especial to The Citizen)

VALDEZ, April 26.-The Strong Wickersham- Maloney combine has re- acted on it's inventors in the First and Third divisions, according to all reports being received here. and the threat of the Wickersham ele- ment to vote for Maloney in the Democratic primaries has greatly in censed the regular Republicans in both coast divisions. and these state that they intend to take leaf out of the book of the Wick-Strong ma chine and cast their ballots for Dele gate Sulzer.
 The regular Republicans on the coast have been quietly organizing for the last two weeks and will aid materially in defeating the plan of the outcasts to bring about the downfall of Sulzer in the coming primaries. They intend to vote for Sulzer by the simple process of writing his name down on the Re publican ticket at the primaries.
 They are now wiring friends all over the territory to- take sihflar action This action by the regular Republicans has caused the Strong Wickersham-D Davidson combination much uneasiness and is said to be the cause of Davidson's wiring to the clerks of the courts notifying them that the names written in the ballots cannot be counted. Attorneys here claim that Davidson is entirely wrong and that it is no part of his business or duties to instruct the clerk of the court or anyone else on legal questions.

Fakina.

In the course of Judge Darlings re
marks few days ago he is quoted as
saying;
For more than three months it
has been known IN official circles
that the Governor had misapprop-
rated funds of the State, and to
some prominent citizens it has
been known for matter of years.
From this statement il is evident that
you, Judge Darling, knew of Governor
Graham's difficulty in his accounts
while auditor
Why have you been so silent all
this time?
Why did you wait for the Rutland
Herald to make public the facts?
Why did you not have your own
newspaper, the Burlington News
make the exposure
If you were so solicitous for the
good Of the state and people why have
you kept silent all this time and why
did YOU put the damper on your own
newspaper?
p The reason for Judge Darling's 81
lence is clear He was using the I'm
I fortunate position OF Governor Ora
ham to further his own political am
bition. Graham was told he couil
mot run again and was told the reason
why.

is a statement that can be made of
over 80 per cent fthe people of the
country. There has been an -eyolu-
tiOnary development Of thought on
the question In no place is it more
marked than in the Office of President.
Time was when Mr. Wilson was talk
ing about being too proud to fight OF
not wanting to arouse the spirit OF
patriotism, of not needing any great
er army, of peace without victory, of
changing the rules of naval warfare
because the submarine was new in
strument. etc. Yet the man who
would say that President Wilson to-
day is a prO-German, is disloyal and
un-American because some time ago
he gave expressions to such thoughts,
would reserve an dwOuld get some
pretty severe Treatment from all loyal
