Senator Hardwick of Georgia does
not take kindly to the legislation that
has been passed for war purposes, par
ticularly when it infringes on the Con-
stitution. The Georgia senator has a
great reverence for that document, and
even wartime necessity does not i'm
press him with the necessity for strain
ing the ancient document to some ex-
tent. During a recent debate in the
senate the Georgia senator said:
ave have got to have shipping cor
poration, the government running the
railroads, the government running bust
ness credits in this country; we have
got to have Capitalization at the ex-
pense of state governments, centraliza-
ton at the expense of individualisln in
this republic, until we have heaped
upon our people a system of laws that
when the sum total is carefully
weighed Is just about as obnoxious as
the system under which the Russians
lived before they got rid Of the car"
"Otherwise it is all right, / sup
pOse?" remarked Senator Reed of Mis-
souri,.

STRONG FIGHT TO

BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Westinghouse is evident that both
political parties are going to make
very strong fight for control of the
house of representatives in the cleo
lions this fall, and at the same time
elect as many senators as possible. 1t
is quite likely that there will be close
working agreement between the ma
tiOnal committees and the congress
sfOnal committees and possibly the ma
tiOnal committees will have more to do
with the coming campaign than the
congressional committees. Usually in
the off years congressional committees
take full charge of the campaigns for
the election of members of the house
but both parties seem to regard the
contest this year of enough Importance
to induce them to use all the power of
the national organizations in the cleo
lions. There appears to be no lack of
organization on the part of both par
ties and it is evident that each conf
IDENTIFY expects to win the elections this
fall.

No state of community likes to have
the brand of diSlOyalty placed upon it,
and consequently North Dakota is
making every effort to get out from
under the smirch which certain peo-
pie of that region placed upon the state
in connection with the war Senator
McCumber has several times insisted
upon the loyalty of his state. and very
recently Claude S. Spencer of Bis
marck, the capital, explained that the
state is now loyal to the core and has
5000 men in uniform. He went on to
say that very effective steps had been
taken to root out the dislOyal class
that caused so much trouble and gave
the state such a bad name. Units of
state defense have been organized and
armed. Those who have not rifles have
shotguns and the probabilities are that
they will make it rather disagreeable
for any persons that undertake to
preach dislOyalty in the future.

Cato Sells. commissioner of Indian
affairs. is very proud of the part
which the Indians have taken in war
activities. In recent letter he points
out that their subscription to the first
Liberty loan amounted TO S4,6O7 800
and to the second, 1892, $50. The In
dams have also participated in Red
Cross work and the schools have done
lot to help furnish supplies for the
war. More than that, the Indians lave
gone into the service as volunteers,
and are likely to be found on the fight
ing line in due time.
Ever since the United States ac-
quired the Philippine islands, near
ly twenty years ago, there has been
more or less of an uneasy feeling
in regard TO Japan. Out of this has
grown what has been termed the "yel-
low peril" For many years the Jap
anese menace was dragged out when
ever there was an army or naval APP
preparation bill considered, and the
danger which Japan was to the inter-
ests of the United States given as
reason why both the army and the
navy should be greatly strengthened.
Probably this long period of uneasi-
ness or apprehension is responsible for
the feeling of uncertainty that exists
in regard to Japan's activities in east
ern Russia. There have been criti-
cisms of Japan because she would not
furnish men, ships or money at any
point where there was real fighting
against Germany, although she is one
of the allies and was one of the cOun-
tries early in the fight. But now it Is
believed her own interests may be
and for that reason she is
willing to take an active part, and, just
as she is ready to do so, there seems
to be sort of scary feeling as to
all will be well after Japan
has had her way in Siberia.

1t is not often that a man voluntar-
lily retires from the senate. 1t often
happens that a man will continue to
be candidate, and say that he is
forced in because some one, forsooth.
has said that he would be beaten any
how. Many senator has gone into
fight after saying that he would like to
be relieved of the duty, and given that
as a reason for his so doing. At the
same time it is not often that a man
retires when he has got rather easy
sailing ahead, therefore, it is rather
surprising that William Alden Smith
of Michigan should decide to get out
CT the senate at this time. William
Alden has had a long career of pub
lie service and he is mighty we'll placed
on committees, but he has decided to
retire even though his friends say that
he could easily be reelected.

More rigid methods of dealing with
spies in this country are likely to be
utilized if any American soldiers
should be shot for disobedience of or
ders. For instance, the sentiment
seems to be expressed pretty generally
by public men in Washington that
they do not look kindly upon death
sentences for soldiers who may have
fallen asleep while on duty at the
front, while spies in this country are
let off with sentences of years or two
years imprisonment. Talk on this sub
ject develops the fact that Americans
generally would rather see the spies
shot than these soldier boys who, of
course, are subject to severe penalties
for violation of orders.
Some of the saddest stories of the
Civil war are of those eases where
nseA were court aartialed and ordered
shot fer going to sheep On picket dSsy.
Whenever possible President Lincoln
pardOned such men. There Is also a
demand by military authorities for the
shooting of deserters in this country,
but the sentiment is still against such
drastic action and will be until some
of the spies that have been doing such
damage are sentenced to the usual
penalties prescribed for spies.

Seven miles above Washington Is
the historic Cabin John bridge. The
few persons who pass that way notice
that workmen are busy on one corner
of the bridge, and if they stopped to
investigate they would find that the
workmen are engaged in restoring the
name of Jefferson Davis to big stone
which forms part Of the structure.
When this bridge was built Jefferson
Davis was secretary of war, and his
name was placed upon the bridge be-
cause it was built under the direction
of the war department. During the
Civil war, when an intense prejudice
arose in the North against Jefferson
Davis, somebody chiseled his name off
Cabin John bridge. But now that feel
ing has all subsidized and his name is to
be restored.
In this connection it may be men,
toned that there are quite a number
of people who feel great indignation
when they think of the statue of Fred
erick William the Great, the ancestor
of the present leader of the Huns,
standing in front of the war college in
one of our big military reservations in
Washington. 1t has been proposed
that this statue should be torn down
and melted into bullets for the use of
the troops who are now facing the
Huns in France.

By way of preface it may be well : to correct an erroneous impression that has been fostered by former Dele | gate James Wickersham and his sup porters, to the effect that Wickersham is now the delegate of this territory 1 in congress- This is not true. It came about by reason of the fact that q newspaper jealous in the former delegates behalf had garbled the news pending in the house of representa- tives involving the right of Delegate Sulzer to his seat A dispatch from Washington was printed stating that the committee on elections of the l house had unanimously reported in favor of seating Wickersham. and the 1 following day a fake dispatch was l printed to the effect that the house had adopted the committee report and seated Wickersham. Although the facts are now well known to the pub | lication in question, this impudent misstatement has not been corrected
 The facts, as nearly as have been asCertained here are as follows: The Committee on Elections No. -" | which has been considering the Wickersham Sulzer contest. by a vote of 1 to decided in favor of WiCkersham. four of the members be- ing absent. No report has ever been submitted to the full committee. and. to all intents and purposes. as far as tkat committee iS concerned. the mat ter stands as it did heretofore, with Delegate Sulzcr recognized as entitled 10 the seat until otherwise ordered. There k no assurance that the house will concur in recommcnda- 1 tion of the committee that Wicker sham be seated, should such q rcCom- mendation be reported. Owing to the fact that war matters are occupying gress it is not at all likely that de cision will be reached before the end of the session, and even then the de, cision may favor Sulzer.
 In the meantime Charles A. Sulzer is the delegate in congress represent ing the territory of Alaska

represent the territory as your dele. | gate and be good party man" The | language Is plain enough, and to those who are familiar with Wickersham' s sions as to it's meaning. Taking into l consideration his former actions, 1t means that if he should, by the aid of the Republican party. be successful in being elected delegate. he would be party unto himself. He spoke boast ingly of his disagreements with party leaders, and particularly with Presi dent Taft, which did so much to i'm pair his usefulness as delegate during that patriotic statesman's admnistra- ton as President
 Relying on his wide acquaintance in Alaska, and the fact that party poll. ties have not Leen strongly in evi- dence in previous years. Wickersham always has acted independently of the Republican party, of which he now claims to be member, except when it served his purpose to do otherwise Elected and reelected on non-parti- san ticket, he felt that he was indcpen- dent of party affiliations, and superior to the party heads. His politics ever has been dictated by his necessities Four years ago. when Judge Bunnell was the Democratic candidate in op- losiiiCn to him. Wick"rsham declared and because he announced his unquali- fed support oi the President and his policies. he was reelected by an overwhelming vote. Democrats and Republicans alike helping to return him
 But Wickcrsham never was in har- mony with the powers that be very long. and two years ago, forcseeing, as ho thought. the election Of Charles l.. Hughes to the presidency. and the cnviablc position he would occupy at Washington as Republican delegate under a Republican administration. he came out as supporter of Hughes. But in doing do he purposely ignored the Republican organization of the territory The result was that he alieaated not only his Democratic supporters. but many Republicans as well. and he was defeated Alaska is a strong supporter of President Will son. and no man can hope for political success on policy of opposition to the President at this time.
 Do the Republicans of this territory wish to elect a man as delegate who will refuse to act with their party al any time it should suit his purpose, in the event of his election?

Wick's Nome Speech

On Friday. August s, former Dele. gate James Wickersham fired what may be termed the "opening gun" in his campaign against Delegate Charles \. Sulzer for the latter's seat in con ress. Since that time WiCkersham has been touring the Interior. but no further word as to the nature of his speeches has come from that direC. tion. But it may be taken for granted that his Nome speech was the keynote of his campaign, and that subsequent efforts will follow the text of that ora. torical gem. It was delivered in true Wickersham style. and it goes without saying that he relied upon his well. known ability to roast" his opponent and those who in any way come in conflict with him to draw the applause of his audiences.
 There were many significant pas sages in the Nome speech. but none more so at least to members of the Republican party, whose candidate he this year professes to be, than that Tn which he declared that mo man can

Too Many Critics

President Wilson and his advisors have welcomed all through the period of the war honest criticism, especially what has been termed constructive criticism" Congress Is full of critics Of the administration, some Of whom are actuated by the highest and most patriotic motives. But there are too many who are criticizing the conduct of the war and the many enterprises growing out of it merely for political effect Why should Alaska add to the list of these critics by electing man like Wickersham, who greatest claim to recognition has been that could artistically roast" all who were DO ltically opposed to him? Delegate Sulzer is a firm supporter of the ad- minstraton and its war policies.
The Cordova daily times., 1918-09-09
Just Chewing the Rag

In his 1916 campaign Sulzer ab- stained from roasting any person. party or organization. He made his different talks always to the one point, "how can Alaska and the in terests of the people of Alaska be bettered?"
 If a candidate should start in to fay Wickersham for his inconsistencies since he first came to Alaska he would be busy for more than one campaign. But what is the use? Such a pro- ceeding would be imposing on the sense of the voters who would hear such talk. What can be said against recriminations might also we'll be said against dead issues, past per formances and the eternal ego.
 What the people of Alaska wish to hear is what new ideas their candi- dates have that will affect us in a good way if they are carried into prac tice and made into laws.
 From anti-Sulzer reports from now until November the voter will be told how Wickersham tore into Grigsby. Jennings, Donohoe and the so-called Democratic ring. This Is all lost eff

 Should Sulzer start his campaign by telling about Wickershams Tacoma record, his dealing with the Alaska Syndicate, or his attitude in the found. ing of Fairbanks and the scandals growing out of the transactions at that time. the Democrat would con Sider that he was making very poor their interests may be bettered and they are absolutely tired of this eter- nal rag-chewing g-Anchorage Demo crat
