MPAICN OF
 REPUBLICANS
 OPENED HERE;

The Republican campaign was op- Judge James Wickersham addressed large audience at the Empress treatre He was introduced by Dr w. H. Chase in a short speech. and the stage was occupied by the three local candidates for office on the Re publican ticket.
 Judge Wickersham opened his ad- dress by stating that he was heartily in accord with the present admins tratiOn, and paid deserved tribute to President Wilson He pointed out how Loyalty the Republican sena:urs and representatives had stoo1 behind the administration.
 The speaker then dwclt at some length in an arraignmcnt of Delegate SulZer, Governor Riggs. and the Dem ocratic office holders. upholding for mcr Governor Strong for the position taken by him as a member Of the can wasting board and his refusal to issue a certificate of election to Chas A. SulZer until compelled to do so by the court. He claimed that the cleo tions committee of the House had de Cid"d to report favOrably on his cleo. tion, but in the meantime Sulzcr was drawing the pay and when he was seated the people of Alaska would be paying a double price for representa-. tion
 Sulzer was charged with being q stacker, because he had had military fused to enlist. In referring to Gov ernor Riggs he said, He is mu-n better politician than q railroad man" and charged that twenty-five miles of the government railway built by him at Nenana had to be abandoned because it was laid under the lower away. Former Governor Strong, he pointed out. was busted from office because he refused to do the bidding of the Democratic politicians. It was admitted that Strong was a Canadian but WiCkersham said it was much better to be a Canadian than d Ger man"
 MT. Wickersham spoke of MT Sul- gers connection with the shipping bill Tba IypitaI Iau bay tnl our coastwise shipping. No foreign built vessel may carry American freight from one American port to an other; this Is so American sailors may have employment in American built ships. but recently when the United States needed ships. the larger vessels were taken to the east coast from Alaska This left us substan- tially with an insufficient force of yes sels to carry freight in this country Woodrow Wilson asked authority to permit foreign vessels to carry freight from one port to another, when he felt that it was necessary. This mat ter was brought before committee on September 6, year ago. and on that same day Mir. Sulzer arose in the House and said. MT Speaker. | ask for an indefinite leave of absence from the house of representatives on ac- count of sickness in my family" and on that day Mir. Sul2er left Washing ton. He went to California where he was away out of danger and he stayed there until congress had adjourned. On the sixth day of September. the day on which he left, the shipping bill came before congress. MT. Bunch and MT Clark of the Alaska Steamship company appeared before congress and got this joker into the bill; that the President. when necessary, be per. 1 mitted 10 allow foreign vessels to car " freight, providing that it does not apply to Alaska.

some weeks IN the upper story of a
house over which the Germans were
lObbing their shells to reach a bat
terry in the valley below. It seemed
to him, he said, that the shells did
not pass more than four feet above
the ridgepole. The funny thing
about the affair, to him. was that he
developed a blind faith in German
efficiency He was quite sure they
would not fire a short" and smash
through that ridgepole and secre-
