 The news of the death of Charles August Sulzer, Alaskan, will be received throughout the Territory with profound by members of all political par ties For during the time when he represented Alas ka at the National Capital, Delegate he truly representative of all the Territory and special division of partisan politics.
 In the death of MT. Suzer Alaska loses of it's foremost citizens of the who had devoted his time, talents and personal goods in order that the Territory might achieve the growth which is it's rroper Whatever differences political opinion anyone might have had with MT. Sulzer, he could not deny that all of his energies directed to- ward the betterment of Alaskan conditions.
 The Citizen has considered MT. SulZer in the light of politician. He had few of the attri- butes commonly acknowledged to be part of the makeup of politician. Whatever rewards that have him for his earnestness sincerity of and kind ly determination to the best for his cOnstit- uents. rather than for his ability to play politics
 Aside from his political activities he has been one of those who have advanced Alaskan de- velopment by his personal efforts. He of the class of men who come to frontier countries and by personal work make success. In his private busi- he successful and when he entered public life he not less
 In the Territorial Senate he made his mark His first entry into the political realm cessful that he selected the standard bearer of the Democratic party in the Territory. He there for two years. During this time he advanced Alaska's cause immeasurably there. His knowledge of matters pertaining to Alaska, his uniring energy working for the good his Territory, his to take up any matters presented to him by Alaskans gained for him recognition in Congress which is seldom attained by newly elected repre- sentative.
 In all his campaigns for office he has never stopped to personalities He has been above the pettly little things which many politicians introduce into campaigns to becloud the issues in order gain square before his fellow Alaskans upon his record And he won by it.

Make that election decisive Give MT. Grgsby a very large complimentary vote, and send him to Washington with credentials that will leave room question that the people of the Territory want him to pc seated in the next Congress, and not Wickersham. Then Republican organizations and in dvidual Republicans should make the leaders of their party at Washington acquainted with the facts. Wickersham's cowardice his refusal to before the people, his discuss his charges against Sec reary Lane and the Alaska railroad with the voters of Alaska, his papabe attempt to drag the Republi- in Congress into making a decision that Alas kans should be permitted to make themselves and thus it to be representative neither of the timent of the people of decency, should all be put forth in plain language-so plain that he who runs may read.
 By doing these things the Republicans of the Territory will have cleared the way for organi- ration of their party in Alaska basis that will be very useful to Alaskan development in the event of Republican success in the election of 1920
