 of cool and careful examina- tion of his speech the following andy sis of his "tanglefoot' is submitted to the Alaska olcctoratc
 He told us that his father was a Republican and that he, too, wGs Re publican. We have no quarrel with the father. but certain il is that II he was a Republican he disowned the son CJames) politically long ago.
 What has James Wickcrsham ever done for the Republican party in Alaska or Tacoma? Nothing but dis rupt and fight the party.
 In politics he has been an indcpen- dent, mugwump, Wilson Democrat, and in fact everything but q Repub- lican. Joseph's coat is no longer pre-
 It's ten to one bet thht he will again be q candidate on the indepen- dent ticket in 1920. unless Mrs. Cor nclia Tcmplcton Hatcher and cX-Gov- crror Strong nominate him on the Prohibition ticket to represent the moral forces of Alaska"
 He told us that the law p?ssed by congress, eXempting miners from as sessment work for 19l7-19l8. did not apply to the territory of Alaska.
 The answer is that it does apply to Alaska, and the interior depart ment has so kclG. and that Judge Wickcrslam knew this. too. but at tempted to discredit Delegate Sulzcrs efforts in congress and get your votes. In this statement. as in most all oth. CTS, he stands before the voters of Alaska thoroughly disCreditcd
 Why did he make the most COW ardly attack upon MT Sulzer that one American citizen could make upon an other, when he accused MT. Sulzer of being n stacker and intimated that he was pro-German when he knew in his heart eff he has one) that it was not true?
 There is only one answer To cloud the issues, get your votes and ride into congress at the expense of q better man.
 Why the attack on Governor Riggs, one of the cleanest men who ever came to the shores of Alaska?
 Because Governor Riggs knows what he is and what he has been in congress and refuses to support such man.
 Why did he make his half-hour at tack on Senator Chamberlain, when all admit that he is great friend of Alaska?
 Because Senator Chamberlain told the truth when he said that MT Wickersham had nothing to do with the bill passed by congress to build tEis railroad into Alaska.
 If you send this man to congress as your delegate how do you think Ec will stand with this great friend of Alaska in the United States sen ate after the abuse he has heaped upon him in his campaign for dele gate 10 ocngrcss7
 Senator Chamberlain will, no doubt. still continue to be the friend of Alaska, but MT, Wickcrsham would be promptly and rightly kicked cut of his office if he were again to ask for even an interview.
 How can Judge Wickersham shout gang" while Charles Heron of An chorage and his followers are not only his supporters but his managers in the Third division? Can you beat this for q gang? No amateurs in this bunch; they are professionals all of them
 Mir. Wickcrsham. the days of dirty politics and campaigns of personal abuse have gone by in Alaska. You have used it. lived on il and in fact been llirl" s-C,e-a.aI with .t in the past.
 True, it was the only politics that you knew. but the voters of Alaska have had enough of it, and no maH can hope to be elected delegate to congress from Alaska by making his fight along these lines.
 The people of Alaska are demanding cleaner politics. They want to see their candidates come out on plat form on which they are willing to stand and discuss the issues that con cern Alaska. This is impossible as long as James Wickcrsham comes north for his biennial roundup.
 It is the duty of the voters. regard less of party, to rally to the support of Delegate Sulzer. eliminate Judge Wickersham. and thereby purify the politics of Alaska.
 We can "help Alaska and clean her politics" but neither can ever be ac-
