THE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND.

The people of Alaska understand the Delegateship contest They understand that Wckershams victory. shall finally win out before the House of Rep rcsentatives, purely technical victory. They realize that will win if he does by virtue of the that the makers of the Alaska Australian ballot law bungled and failed to make law that would stand the They know that if the law had stood up here, the Australian ballot law in other States nas stood up, Sulzer would have the contest.
 The people understand that the Australian ballot law is law designed to prevent bribery, intimidation and corruption at the pos. That it is designed to permit the people to themselves, because 1t is desgred to give honest ballot and fair count It intended to prevent "machnes' and corrupting influences from cheating the people of their right to self-government by debauching the elections
 There is not Wickersham machine in the Territory of Alaska who will dare go before the people of this Territory and tell them that the peo pe should not have such Australian ballot law Judge Jennings decided that have, and such the House Elections Committee No decided that have
 COncedng that, then, is conceding that right and honesty and fairness and justice the side of Delegate Sulzer in the election contest, and that right and honesty and fairness will be defeated if Wickersham is seated, because of the technical takes of the Legislature which passed the Australian ballot law.

MIR. SULZER AND THE FISHERIES

People who declare that Delegate Sulzer's fisher ies bill is farme-up in the interest of the large poratons and against the fishermen" either are seek the interest of those who the law it is, or they ignorant of the actual conditions.
 People who know the facts know that Mr. Sulzcf when he sent copies of the that he had pre- pared throughout Alaska, told the people that he did not claim perfection for it. and he asked for constructive criticism He knew that he would not be able to get it through at this session of Congress- but expected to have hearings, and he expected the people who interested to give him the benefit of their opinions and their experiences. He stated clearly that there two things that he stood unequivocally-the control of the fisheries by the people of Alaska and patrol system that would en- able enough of the fish to reach the spawning grounds to insure the perpetuaon of the supply of fish
 The evidence is that majority of the people o. Alaska, the independent fishermen and all who are interested including many who have money in- vested in the business accepted Mir Sulzers efforts in good faith and they responded by score to his request for their views and constructive tons It is only here and there that breaks out with tirade of abuse, and usually the one who throws the fit is Wickershamite or a dsgrunted politician who is deliberately trying to misead the people.
 People who have studied the fisheries situation in Alaska and who honestly desire have the question solved rather than kept alive political or other sinister purposes must admit that there is only one way to solve the question, and that to bring it here to Alaska where the people are interested and where they understand. That is just the way Dele gat Sulzer proposes to solve it.

Claptrap Arguments.

The Mayor of Chicago, who has injected him self into the for the Republican nomination for United States Senator, have very high regard for the intelligence of Illinois voters if we may judge by the arguments he has addressed to them in booklet entitled "The Truth About Will liam Hale Thompson
 The booklet is queer mixture, in which old time ranting partisanship prcdominates. Everything pertaining to the Democratic party is painted black, and everything Republican is shown immediately white To believe MT. Thompson the Democrats had brought the country to condition bordering upon bankruptcy and to themselves from merted pun iehment at the hands of the voters, they somehow got the started to cover up their crimes.
 His theory of how the United States became in "olved in the war is quite simple. He says: "I demn the Democratic party because I sincerely be- efficiency, their indecisOn their tmidty their wab- bling diplomacy, their administrative bunders, their total inability to cope with problems of such magni- tude that at war Reasoning inversely, if the Democratic party had been possessed of the brains and energy with which MT. Thompson mod esly endows himself, would be at W. Possibly we would be wabbng around in effort to preserve cowardly neutrality might be under Germanys thumb entirely
 Mir. Thompson has evidently learned lesson from the treatment accorded his un-American actions and words before we entered the war The pamphlet is hed with ardent expressions of patriotism, there is unmisakable bid for pro- German support run ming through it. For instance. he says: Tt is a men, to the very life of Republic to centraze au tocratic power In the hands of any man or set of men. even in times of war" And again: 'I am op- posed to the propaganda of hate which seeks to di- vide our people on racial lines"
