 the pleasure he had taken in Washington in advising Administra- tion and Congressional leaders of the whole hearted support the Gov ernment is receiving from Alaska.
 The Campaign.
 And passing on to the campaign, Mir Sutzer riddled the statements that are reported to have been made by Mir. Wickersham that he is pro- German. The Delegate said his father was born in Heidelberg, Ger many, and that he was educated there. At the age of IS, while a student at Heidelberg, he became l implicated in a movement to over throw the autocracy of Germany. the thing the whole world is striv- 1 ing for today, was discovered and was exiled from Germany. He came to America in 1S48, 70 years ago, never to return After his ar rival in America he raised family of five boys and two girls, Of these boys two lie sleeping the eternal sleep, having been placed at 1 final rest in the uniforms of the United States Army and with mil itary honors And at the time they were laid at rest the Delegate was wearing the military uniform of America himself.

 l ' The Fisheries
 l Taking up the Juneau Dispatch Of September 23, the Delegate then gave to his audience the facts re- garding certain matters referred to in that paper. First he took up the fisheries bill. In the Dispatch the item was distorted the Delegate showed. to lead the public to be- lieve the bill provided that If any one secured a lease of a trap site for five years the Government would be compelled to renew the lease for another five years and neither Congress nor the Legisla ture could alter. amend or repeal the act in the meantime. The fact is that the bill provides that the lease may be renewed, PROVIDED, Congress or the Legislature does not alter, amend or repeal the law in the meantime.
 Speaks to Fishermen.
 The Delegate also pointed out that attempts have been made to | befuddle the minds of the fisher men and to make them believe that they cannot fish within a thousand feet of the traps. The bill has no such provision, the speaker pointed out. as it provides only the l distance apart that the traps must be located and fishermen are permit ted to catch all the fish they can OCIV COh u app. MI. ouiLCl ApI cCS- ed the opinion that the only sal | vatiOn for the fishing industry is by proper protection of the streams, and he believes his bill will give the desired aid. The Delegate drew the attention of his audience to the fact that notwithstanding the fact that the fisheries constitute Alaska $ greatest industry, Mir. Wiekersham never took any step to protect them or aid them.
 Before turning from the fisheries question, MT. Su1zer read section 17 of his bill which shows plainly that the Territory of Alaska and its Legislature would be given com plete control of the industry after the passage of the act.
 Sulzer's Endorsements. The next item of the Dispatch ! taken up was one in which that paper predicted that the Delegate would read letter from Hon. Scott Ferris. MT. Sulzer told his aud fence of MT. Ferris high standing in Washington as chairman of the Public Lands committee and one 1 high in the ceunsels of the Admin istration, and then did read let ter written by Mir. Ferris in which ae complimented the Delegate highly for the work done by him. told of esteem in which he is held in Wash ington and he expressed the. hope that he would again be reelected Put then the Delegate went further and read letters on which no pre- | dictions had been made. He read one from the Hon. Champ Clark Speaker of the House of Represen- tatives, expressing the hope from MT Clark that Mir. Sulzer would be re- elected.
