her go. PROVIDED
1t is learned that neither Mrs.
Hirsch nor ]. W. Cook, who has been
convicted and given twelve months
and a fine of S1,5O0, had any money
to employ the lawyers who defended
them, so they made an arrangement
for the lawyers to bring suit against
Mayor Gambler for defamation of
character and false arrest, after they
had been tried on the blackmail
charge. 1t was believed that if the
lawyers could secure an acquittal for
them, they would have leg on which
to stand their damage suit.
OF course this part of the plan is
broken up so far as Cook is concern
for he was not falsely arrested, now
that he has been convicted, and so
far as defaming his character is con-
cerned, he did that himself by unbur-
dening to Forrest Adair the story of
his previous bad record as bad actor
with the women, heavy drinker,
gambler and all-round sport.
But if the prosecution should mol
PROSE- the case against Mrs. Hirsch
and let her go free without trial, she
might have some advantage in a
damage suit for false arrest and defa-
nation OF character. Hence the pros
ecution is in the attitude of being
fored to go ahead with the trial to
defend itself-unless Mrs. Hirsch is
wiling to drop the case.

to the numerous high positions made necessary by the war, and many Re. publicans have been honored by him in this manner Within recent months the President is credited with having coined the phrase, Politics is ad. journed," and it is hard to believe that he is quoted correctly in the press today, when he asks the people to elect none but Democrats to con. gress. Surely the record of the Re- pubilcans, both in and out of con- gress, during this world cataclysm has been that of true patriots. They have shown themselves broad minded men, and forgetting politics, have worked hand in hand with their Dem. orcatic colleagues in backing our gov ernment to the limit-and they will continue to do so. Scrutinize the re- cord of your candidate closely, and if you find him lacking in anything which makes for true Americanism, hit him and hit him hard, whether he calls himself Democrat, Republican or what not.
 In making up your mind for whom to cast your ballot, don't be in. fluenced by the glib tongue of the political spell-binder who travels about the country while drawing a nice fat salary from the territorial or federal treasury. We do not blame MT. Sulzer for making his own cam. paign. but when territorial and feder. al office holders use the power and prestige of their office to club the people into. line, they should be due for calling down Advt.

Clark, with committee. will be in charge. The opening hour of the fair has been timed at one o'clock.

sham supporters to the Sulzer fol- lowing. The third and last class, he said is composed of those who have been gulled by Wickersham into believing him to be fighter" for the rights and privileges of the peo- pie. A fighter of the "Guggs" and other big interests. He declared that this reputation of the ex.delegate was based upon the speeches of Wicker sham solely. and asked the direct question of his hearers, "on what legis- lation against there interests does Mir. Wickersham base his claims as a fighter" And there was no answer. He showed that during all his years as Alaska's representative to con. gress as delegate. MT. Wickersham had not enacted one law regulating fisheries, or curtailing the opera tions of the Guggenheim interests, despite his many assertions that he was keeping these corporations from devouring the territory bodily.
 He took up the question of home rule. He reviewed Wickersham's attitude on the game bill and elec- tion laws, the surrender of Wicker. sham of the right of the territory to enact laws regulating the fishing industry and proved conclusively that Wickersham did not consider Al askans capable of administering their own affairs. This he accomplished by quoting words spoken by Judge Wickersham, himself.
 In the latter part of his address he took up the charge that MT. Sulzer is the candidate of a corrupt Demo cratic machine. He showed how MT. Sulzer had been nominated as can didate of the Democratic party of Alaska for delegate from Alaska by a direct primary. by the vote of the people of Alaska, who gave him more votes than both the candidates, of the Republican and Socialist parties combined. without even the endorse, ment of any convention of politicians, and without any canvassipg on the part of Mr. Sulzer.
 In conclusion MT. Grigsby refer red to the appeal of President Will son to the people of Alaska and the other sections of the United States to return a Democratic congress. He declared that if Judge Wicker. sham desired to show his loyalty to the government and gain immense credit for himself, he could withdraw from an already hopeless race and cast his support to the President in war policies through Mir. Sulzer, and stated that if MT. Wickersham did not have the grace to do this. he bOped that the people of Alaska would attend to the matter and that the citizens of the Fourth division would take the lead in this work as they have done in other patriotic activities which have been presented to tile country.

REP. CAMPAIGN:
 THE OTHER SIDE OF THE QUESTION

The Sulzer crowd is wailing loudly about Wickersham charging Sulzer
 with being a stacker, but does not Sulzer lay himself wide open for the charge? If he is graduate of West Point where he received his military training at the country's expense, why is he not in active service since the United States is sorely in need of officers with military training, at least to help whip into shape the
 raw recruits in our home canton ments where there is no danger at all? His would not be the first in- stance by any means where con- gressman has resigned his office and donned khaki suit to serve in the present war. Then there is the case of his secretary, Edward G. Nor rissey. Why is he not in the service |? AS the records in the office of our local board will disclose, Morrissey passed his examination and was ac- cepted for general military service, but asked ninety days time (with recommendation from the governors office), on the ground that MT. Sul- ger was absent from Washington and he, Morrissey, had to look after MT. SulZer's interests! Can you beat it? Put this in your pipe and smoke it you roughneck. When your call to the colors comes. you quietly drop your tools and go to the defense of your country, no matter whether it spells financial ruin, or the sacrifice of your toll in opening up some promising looking claim, and this is as it should be- Your patriotism would not permit of any other course even if the law would do so. But not so with MT. Sulzer's secretary! God forbid! AL though he has had previous military training in the regular army he can not be spared. In ninety days, yes, but not now. As stated in the News. Miner of the 10th inst, quoting an interview with MT. Morrissey, he will remain in Juneau until after election, ostensibly for the purpose of assist. ing the patriotic MT. Sulzer in his And this is what Sulzer calls helping the President win the war!" Is it any wonder that Wick ersham calls him stacker?
 It is rather a disgusting spectacle to every fair-minded. upstanding man or woman, which the Sulzer boosters present in their frantic endeavor to bring their man under the wire winner on the pop ularity of the war and the political prestige of our President. If you will give it but a moments considera. ton it will be plain to you that this war could not be carried on if we we're not all Americans. frs. and all the time. When the boys are muster. ed in they are not questioned as to heir politics; nor has the President drawn the line in his appointments

STACKER DRAWS
 10 MONTHS TIME

Appearing in court yesterday for arraignment to the charge of failing to register for military duty Henry Myron Chamberlain entered the plea of guilty to the charge and received sentence of ten months in the fed eral jail at Fairbanks.
 Chamberlain on his arraignment waived a time for entering plea and requested that he be allowed to plead then and also that sentence be pro nounced, which was done. Prior to his being bound over he maintained that he was born in the year 1885, which put him above the registra- tion age. Proof was established that he was born in the year 1889. Cham berlain will be registered with the To- cal board and inducted whenever the next draft will be called.

 The passport proposition is one that must be considered by all regis. tered aliens leaving the country. Without it they will not be permitted to leave the territory, and the failure to procure one before departure for the Outside is liable to subject the offender, whether unintentional or not, to severe penalties.

Some consideration was giv- en to turning the clock ahead one hour more in Fairbanks in order to have more daylight, but it was not permissible under the law.
