The constantly increasing price of coal and pc

heretofore failed to the great possibilities in the
development of the nations water power.
The who turns serious attention to water
power development is amazed when he discovers that
with 60, 600 horse power in potential energy slip
ping away down our rivers and streams, we are SUI
delivering 85 per cent of fuel for power in rail
road cars when we might save much OF that waste
by sending it by wire.
There was therefore much interest in the creation
by Congress of bill creating water power eommls-
sion and providing for the development of water
power throughout the nation, SO that whe
President Wilson affixed his signature and the meas

the League of Nations with such reservations as
may be necessary to make the obligations of the
United States under it definite and certain but
cut reservations that would destroy its purpose
This drawing of the issue will make it difficult
for former President Taft, Herbert Hoover former At

Dental Candidate Hughes, former Secretary State

and many other prominent Republicans, who hav
declared in favor of the League of Nations most

In fact the position of Senator Harding is op

DO NOT FORGET!

When considering the fisheries of Alaska do not
forget that Judge Wickersham was Delegate to Con-
gIess from Alaska from 1909 until 1917; that he
never in all that time attempted to do anything to
solve the fisheries problems of Alaska; that when
Delegate Sulzer took office in 1917 he hurriedly pre-
pared bill, admitted by him to be imperfect, the
chief provision in which proposed to turn the fish
cries over the Alaska Territorial Legislature but
he was informed by the chairman of the committee
work in connection with the war, then in full swing,
that it would be unable hold hearings give
any attention to the fisheries situation. Judge Wick
ersham became Delegate again in 1918, for a brief
time, and he resumed his characteristic do-nothing
policy. Mr. Grigsby became Delegate in 1919, and
he introduced bill proposing to turn the fisheries
over to the Territorial Legislature. Judge Wicker
sham was in Washington all the time that Delegate
Sulzer and Delegate Grigsby were there He was pre-
tending be the real representative of the people Of
Alaska During the last years he has been there
thusS pretending, there has been a Republican Con
gresS At time during the four years did he at
tempt to aid in the solution of this question-not
event to the representatives of the party with which
he now pretends to affitae In all the dozen years
that fWickersham has been at Washington Alaska s
Representative, and pretending to be Aaskas Dele
gate, he has offered a single constructive
geston regarding this perpexing matter He has been
so busy playing the game of politics and trying to
prevent any else from doing anything for Alaska
that he has had time for constructive work of
any Sort .2
And during all this time, Dan Sutherland has
been the willing subject of Wickersham. He has sup
ported him all times always refused to for
office until he got the high sign from him. and Is
now giving voice to Understands whsperings, even
to the point of opposing full Territorial form OF
