WILL, REPUBLICANS STAND FOR TT?
Anchorage Democrat


 If is no narticular disgrace to be Republican Iincon Grant Mckinley and Teddy the toos' a voted that ticket and got away with it, while lhere was at all times opportunity 10 vote Dettel ticket But no of the gentlemen named "ith tiie possibe execution of Roosevelt, ever mixed up "lui any other party while claiming fealty to the G o' r. Is such an example being followed by the real ne nublicans of Alaska? One would believe that II ls Rut on the other hand there be anythlng put contempt held by real Republican for members or seeming members of their party who are boosting for this man, Maoney for the open and avowed puI- pose of using him for tool to try and disrupt the Democratic vote? -
 The fact is that there will be no real Republican candidate this year for Delegate It would be too vile a charge against real Republicans to charge them with the belief that Wickersham after his actions Tn Alaskan politics, is Republican.
 On the other hand it is certainty that the mug wump bunch that have handled Wickersham's cam pagns in days gone by handling Maloney's candidacy For instance does anyone with an ounce the Juneau Dispatch and the Anchorage Times would work for Maloney's election if he, by the widest ac ciden should be nominated for Delegate by the Demo crats? Mo- their advocacy of Maloney will only last until after the primaries and then they will be out with the old Wickersham talk, that the people the Territory two years manifested, that they were tired death of hearing.
 But to such Aldrich Hubbard, Strong and Maoney, a pledge made at primary election means nothing These men opportunists in politics. pure and simple, and any kind of means available will bt used by them gain their selfish ends.

Voter of Alaska, you whom the Strong payroll brigade is endeavoring to persuade to go into the Democratic primary April 30th and vote for Maloney and to the polls election day in November and vote for Wickersham look down into your heart and ask yourself what it is you asked to do. They do ask you to aid in nominating the man they want for Delegate Congress. They expect to nom- mate Judge Wickersham the Republican ticket with just ONE VOTE. Then what they asking you to do? They asking you to go into the pr mary the Democratic party not to vote for the man they for Delegate to Congress but for a man whom Judge Wickersham easily defeat. In other words YOU ARE ASKED TO PROSTITUTE YOUR AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP. You asked to use your citizenship to deprive the primary election law of every virtue that it was intended that it should possess You are asked cheat voters of Alaska of their franchise and to aid turning the Territory little gang of Wickersham personal polite ians and Strongs petty officials You urged to do that by sneakng into Democratic primary as would an enemy spy and then and there to assassin ate the party in cold blood while it is helpless to protect itself.
 The Empire believes that the little bunch of Wick ershamites who have planned to rape Alaskas pri mary and destroy the virtue of her primary election law and dsfranchise voters of Alaska have ms judged the people this city It does not believe that they will be able to get voters whose firs choice for Delegate to Congress is not Maloney te go Democratic primaries and vote for him il order rig things for their first choice It believes that a great majority of the men and women voters of Juneau and Gasneau Channel are honest l believes that those of them who are honest support CTS Judge Wickersham prize their Amercanisn in these times when Americanism means muci too highly to prostitute their citizenship

RECENT EVIDENCE OF WICK OPPOSITION TO
 SELF-GOVERNMENT

The facts given below recent evidence that the Wickershames opposed to selfgoyernment in Alaska
 They opposing Sulzer's full Territorial form of government bill giving reason that it is de signed repeal the prohibition law in Alaska while matter of fact it guarantees prohibition. It is a fair assumption that they opposed to self-gov ernment.
 ing it gives the trap perpetual rights to trap sites, whereas it does such thing but pro vides the extnguishment of the rights to the site within years. All the circumstances justify the conclusion that they oppose it because it provides that Territorial Legislature shall have authority to control fisheries legislation.
 They are trying to force the nomination of Judge Wickersham the Republican candidate with one vote so that the of their crowd go into the Democratic primaries and nominate candidate who would be easily defeated by Wickersham. In other words they want take their little gang and carry both primaries with it, and thus destroy the intent of the direct primary law which is to permit the membe.s of a political party to conduct its affairs The direct primary law is one of those laws meant to enlarge popular government. and Wickersham is not for popular government therefore, he would de stroy the law by robbing it of its virtue

Mrs Hatcher tried to tell the people of Juneau that Delegate Suzer did not have any standing al Washington.

WHOM DOES SHE REPRESENT?
(Ketchikan Progressive Miner)

(ketchikan Progressive Miner)
 To those who have heard the virulent attacks of Mrs Cornelia Templeon Hatcher upon MT. Sulzer and the voters in sympathy with his candidacy for Con gress the thought may Whom does she repre- sent?" Does she represent the w. c. T. U.?-This for the records of this society at the tional headquarters very complimentary to MT, Suzer and strongly condemnatory of Mir Wickersham.
 Does she represent only herself and is she making this campaign at her own expense simply for the sake of good morals and honest politics? This can not so for the that in her speech upon the issues delivered here short time ago she asserted that she knew what the charges against Gov. Strong and that those who had them afraid to make them public.
 Whom does she represent? Who pays her? Why this interest in the candidacy of MT Maloney?
 Come, Mrs Hatcher speak up, you still for Wiekersham, Strong and Maloney?
 Has your conduct and scurrilious language against those in positions of authority the sanction of the noble organization upon whom actions will bring criticism or you in the game for price?

"Solo King" Burns, of Juneau, Alaska, claims that the oldest joke is the one about the travelling man who was on a slow train on a rick ety railroad. The train crawled along and made about ten miles per hour and stopped at every crossing. The travelling man bawled the conductor out about the slow ness of the train and the rotten ness of the service in general.

 Tn paper dealing with the University of Oxford expedition to Siberia, of which he member H. U Hall of the University of Pennsylvania, refers the striking psychological effects of long daylight and long darkness in high attitudes.
 As to the former, apart from the tendency to shorten sleeping hours in order to make greatest possible use of the long day. there seems to be kind of stimulation of the nervous system, urging people to feverish and purposeless activity This is especially noticed in newcomers, but the natives are not exempt from it. On the other hand the com ing of the long winter night is followed by a kind of reaction though general depression of vitality apparent.
