A Partisan Appeal
Fairbanks CitiZen)

Wickersham's charges in the present contest for the delegates seat are their face rabd partisan

 In support of his charges of frauds and control of election machinery by the Democratic party in Alaska, he reces the of the Federal Judges
 in each of the four Divisions in Alaska and their duties, among which is the appointment of Com missoners in their respective Divisions. In these four Judges and their Commissioners he pictures political machine which he alleges has worked to bring about his defeat by corrupt methods.
 The only real fact that is set forth by Wicker sham in this connection is that the four Judges are Democratic appoinees and that they have appointed for their Commissioners only Democrats. It would indeed be strange if they anything else but Democrats since they appointed by Demo- cratic President and confirmed by Democratic Sen, ate It is not less obvious that persons appointed by them Commissioners members of the same party. These appointments follow long established rule that was recognized by Wickersham Judge during his of the Federal Judgeship in this Division. Nor by reason of their political affila- tions they disqualified the positions they hold IS the contestant would to imply.
 The Commissioners, outside of incorporated towns did name the election officials as is charged b., Wickersham It is part of their duties to do so. if they hadn't done it it would have gone undone, as no one else has the power to do He admits that Republicans were appointed every election board, but nevertheless claims that at every point in the Territory these boards controlled by the Democratic machine.
 Contrary to all insinuations and charges it is an fact that the election machinery in the Alaska Delegate election of 1918 was set in strict observance of the Alaska election law That every provision regarding the judges clerks and other of ficfals was complied with cannot be questioned If frauds were perpetrated charged by Wckersham, they must have been connved at by the Repub- can members of the election boards.
 The whole fabric of his contest is based upon the alleged crookedness of the elections machinery No one for minute believes that he will ever be able to show it. Few, if any Alaskans believe that there is the least justification for his wholesale charges The corruptness which he seeks to impute reflects not alone against the Democratic party but against all Alaskans and they certain to resent his attempt to blacken the name of the Territory

WHEAT FARMERS AND THE GOV
 ERNMENT

Wheat Administrator Barnes has punctured the complaints about unfair grading of wheat It had been asserted in the Senate that wheat had been eraden so low that the Government guarantee of sS.|o Dushel or wheat did not only not produce the average price of $2 bushe the farm that was expected. but that the average price on the Iarm was only about $1.5O busheI, and that the minimum price was s1.15. Mir Barnes shows by tne figures that the lowest price paid for wheat at the source this year was s1.92 for a car load in Kansas and the average price on the farm is so oe Dusnei-6 cents higher than the anticipated aver age. ~

CRUSHED BY A SENTENCE

That qualified to speak, oracle-like, has spoken upon the situation in Russia should be a com plee rebuff to those feversh and feaherheaded per sons who call themselves political liberals and who support every movement that looks to the destruction of the present social system. In their blind zeal they have accepted all the horrors of Bolshevism and declared them to be good. In meeting this ac- equation Archbishop Platon, Metropolitan of Odessa and Kherson, says of that creed:
 Al that has occurred in Russia has nothing to do with either Socialism Communism or with any soher democratic forms of social structure in nations Bolshevism is organized terror and the complete negation of orderly revolution"
 In that last sentence is the complete summing up or the final argument against this hideous piece or demonism masquerading in the garb of assistance to the working classes, who are the chief sufferers from it.

 Valdez has been chosen by the Alaska Aircraft Transportation Company with offices in Seattle as headquarters for the large arpane project planned to bring the interior district within few minutes rice from the coast. One of the why Valdez was chosen as starting point for this gigantic terprise IS because this place is hundred miles Learer to Dawson than any other Alaskan city; an other reason is that Valdez has plenty level land available for aviation field. This land will be donated to the company and every inducement made to hold the advantage secured by the advent this enterprise The company claims to have the ma chimes. the experience and the freight Valdez must furnish the enthusiasm and the ground for the i'm niense hangar With freight planes going from here to Fa1rbanks and other towns in few hours time 1t necessarily follows that the mails and express Tor the interior will be dispatched by this route as soon as the company demonstrates practcability oi the airplane for freight and passenger traffic lne alrplane as vehicle has to stay and it's adoption to Alaska's needs is but matter of time With the aifplane line froma this cify to- interior points the town will rapidly frcms the publicity accrung Our citizens must awaken from the leth- argy which has chained movements for the past lew years We have depended upon our location and environment to make the city forgetting that it taxes hustle and ceaseless endeavor.

New Jersey Tennis Played Is Out of
 Metropolitan and Bronx Tourney.

New York. June 1S.-ReQuiring only one point to victory in his third round match with H. Oakley yesterday Harold A. Throckm orton, New Jersey state champion and runner up for the Metropolitan and Bron County titles, was forced to default his match ii the Brooklyn cham pionship tennis tournament at the Terrace club in Flatbush Throckmorton had the lead at the 6--2. 5--2 and 40-15 when his arm gave out and forced him Q retire.
 The young New Jersey star had in lured the fragments in his tennis arm some months ago, and although he slaimed that it never has been brought back to condition, he has been playing quite a bit of tennis. ThrockmOrton had to work hard to win the Jersey Championship q couple of weeks ago, md then last week in the MetropoH- tai1 championship event although the arm troubled him a little. Throck- morton thought that it was rounding into shape.
