EVERY CITIZEN OF ALASKA SHOULD
VOTE

Every citizen Of Alaska, and men, whose
conscience will permit them to ask for Republican
or a Democratic ballot, should to the polls Tues
day and at the primary election The primary
is the source government, and to keep the gov
eminent pure and effective tie source should be
clean and representative of all the people.
The big contest Tuesday will be centercd in the
Republican primary. The battle for control by per-
sonal politicians by the forces of hate anG malice
AL sectional and personal discord, the hosts OF
al sectional and personal differences, the hosts OF
obstruction and destruction those who have followed
the leadership of Wckersham, have, for the first
time their efforts capture the Republican
party. In days that gone they fought independ-
emily of parties, directing their attacks particularly
against the Republican Party. Later they made a
bold attempt capture the Democratic party, and
two years ago entered the Democratic party primary
for that purpose They were routed, foot and horse
Now they have turned their attention to the Re
publican party, and seek to capture it for use in
serving personal ends The stakes large On
the hand the old Wick gang, reinforced by
Democratic discards On the other the forward
looking, hard working, progressive developing ele-
ment of the people, The issue is clearly drawn. In
this section the point of contact is the National
cal Committeeman The Wickersham gang, which has
played all sorts of political roles, is behind the
candidacy of Heron the Seattle promoter, the Seat
tie exploter of Alaska the man who does not and
has not resided in Alaska for years. On the other
hand is C. Mcbride the hard working, attentive,
Juneau business permanent citizen of Alaska,
man who likes Alaska well that he lives here
and shares with the other people who live here the
good and the bad of this frontier country, man
who works with Alaskans for Alaska, lifelong
Republican.
If all the Republicans of Alaska turn out at the
primary there is question what the result
mill be. The Republicans will hold their orianzaon
and their party name just the Democrats held
their organization and their party the batte
two years ago
And, while the Democrats have but contest,
that for the nomination for Territorial Senator be-
tween E. A Heath of Ketchikan and |. Sowerby Of
Juneau they, too, should go to the polls and vote
The great thing is for everybody to take interest
ana vote. If they will do that the country will be
safe. The opportunity for elfpromoter and the
masses be active, and there is title danger of
failure to the right thing.

Wick's Knock a Boost
(SeWard Gateway

(SeWafd
George c. Hazelet of the best known infuen-
ial Aaskans in this section Alaska, and personally
Known hundreds of Aaskans throughout the Ter
rory, candidate for delegate to the Republican
National convention arrived the Alaska last night
from his home Cordova and registered at the Hotel
Overland Mr.. Hazelet left the Gateway City
limited this morning for Anchorage, but will un-
doubtedy return here Mondays train and go to
Cordova the Alameda
Mr.. Hazele was attacked the other day in Wick
ersham special dispatch from Washington The dis
patch made many of the usual Wckersham mis-
statements, and the loyal Alaskan read easily
between the lines, especially when Wick said that
Heron Valentine and Reed should be elected
by the Republicans at the primaries on April 81
to the positions which they aspire While Wick
ersham is practically out of Alaska politics, he is
continuing in his usual policy of disrupting and
attempting to set forth statements founded
presumption, without any iota of facts, and trying
to belttle prominent Alaskans like Mr.. Hazelet
straining to bolster up his crumbling Wickersham-
Heron machine.
To go back Mr. Hazelet who was recognized as
perhaps the foremost and most influential Alaska
Republican, was named recently the committee
to suggest planks for the Republican platform be
decided upon at the Republican National convention.
This was the first time Republican in Alaska had
been recognized, and all Republicans satisfied
with the wise selection of Mr.. Hazelet AS such a
committeeman Mr.. IIazeet wrote letters tc all classes
of peope-laborers, merchants and other business
men, asking for suggestions to what Alaska really
needed, and these suggestions would be taken up
with the remainder of the platform committee and
Alaska would be recognized AS Mr. Wickersham
had been for number of years delegate from AL
aska, Mr. HaZelet addressed a letter to him asking
him to make suggestion for Alaska plank or
planks. Mr. Wickersham replied but gave the
letter to the press of Alaska weeks before copy
had been received by Mr.. Hazeet. The suggestion
of Mr.. Wickersham along the usual manner of
attack But Mr. Hazelet replied in full to the sug-
gestion of Mr.. Wickersham and incidentally asked
the former delegate for certain information relative
to certain parts of the suggestions This letter
have reached Mr.. Wckersham about last Wednesday
and the paid press dispatch to Alaska newspapers
the result, TRADE against Mr. Hazelet which
all Republicans, and Democrats Also for that mat
ter can easily see through. Mr. Hazelet, and
astute business and Alaskan throughout is
paying little attention to the Wickersham episte
and is now making little trip and personally ac-
quantng the people with the real issues involved
and his outspoken viewpoint Alaska matters in
general To the voters, both and women, any
thing that Mr.. Wckersham say against Mr.
Hazelet is taken with grain of salt, and instead of
political knock it is rather boost.

FUNNY how a woman can afford
to pay SO cents for an article and
cannot afford to pay a dollar for it. .
II girl likes a fellow, she don't get
half as mad when he kisses her as
she does if he didn't kiss her.
Watch speed fool operate an
auto car and you'll get the idea that
he needs a rubber head worse than
he needs rubber tires
Where are we gonna place the
blame for the epidemic of crime
that has prevailed in this country for
three or four months? You can't
blame it on liquor as of yore
When a man gets to yapping about
Free Speech, he forgets that silence
is just as free
Give girl a new engagement ring
and she will have her hand up to her
face 81 times a minute.
You may have noticed that the
man who likes to harp on the fact
that it is no disgrace to be poor
never seems to get rich.
We can't understand why people
think it a disgrace to smell like a
stable and an honor to smell like
4 garage.

CLAP-TRAP ADVERTISING

A Heron advertisement in the Wickite 'Skagway
Alaskan refers to the newspapers which are not sup
porting him for Republican National committeeman
the Subsidized Press"
AS far subsidies concerned the profits on
all the Federal and Territorial printing of all offic-
als and departments located at Juneau would not
support daily newspaper for month They would
not meet the cost of making The Empire and run
ming the Empire Printing Company for a half
month. And, at the meeting of the last Legislature
it was matter of remark that the Territorial Treas
urer report showed that the Dispatch had received
more Territorial public printing than The Empire
had received during the two previous years
The fact is that none of the legitimate newspapers
of Alaska which have stood the test of time would be
in sexstence today if 1t that they have
received the consistent support the general pub
lfcs 1t costs about $4,000 a month to meet The
Empires payroll, and about $4,000 month to
meet all its expenses.
The Heron advertisement is mere clap-trap and
designed to get votes through stirring I'D passion nv
