 Our.Prlmary law has already had the effect of eEoing the career of the old SnacNel+ord- fIogatt machine, with tine result that the republican romination has gone by default 10 Judge Wickersham. The remnants of that organization are now working hand m glove with the Donohoe machine. They repre- sent nobody but themselves and a few predatory cCrD0faJlQnS, and they buy tnlS corporate sup port through the administration o1 the affairs oi the Territory ln the interest of their masters. If they displayed more skill in the accomplishments of their netaflous designs, ana had not raised 5Gch an unsutferaDe Stencn in the noStrilS of the decent people of Alaska, there would have been less occasion for opposing them ana lttie nope for my success Tn this contest, AS it Is, tne.f re- cord IS 50 plain, that, ts who runs may and the voters of the Territory who expect neither political Or corporate favors ] hope will rally to my support. l await their verdict wlLn every confidence.
