KETCHIKAN PAPER PRAISES COL. JONES

Wickersham that it might be years before they could be brought back to unqualified party featy and that if Judge Wickersham named there would be certainty that it would disrupt the ganization" Therefore it concludes, that it would be well for the President appoint else, and favors ~J.' R.. Hickman John R: Beegle, of Kechikan, first choice and if Alaskan, it is for Col. E. Lester Jones. Concerning Col Jones it says:
 However if he has definitely made up his
 mind to pick a other than Alaskan,
 he could not have fowrd more thor
 oughly acquainted with the Territory, it's
 problems resources, possibilities and future,
 than Col E. Lester Jones. He is a of
 the highest qualifications and is by nature
 and training particularly fitted for such
 position. Col Jones, because of the interest
 in the Territory shown in the past, is
 Alaskan than anything else.
 While for sentimental reasons it is well
 for Alaskans to want only Alaskan for
 Governor at the time it may be said
 frankly that the appointment of Col E.
 Lester Jones Governor of Alaska would
 give general satisfaction a great ma
 jority of the residents of the great North Jones than has The Empire. Col Jones is greatly interested in Alaska, has been it's very warm friend Tor several years, has approach Alaskan questions from the viewpoint of the people of the Territory rather than from that of the Washington bureaus he is frankly and admirably independent in his
 
 service and invariably gets results He was of in valuable assistance to Delegate Suzer during the lat CTS term in Congress.
 Yet there is lot more than sentiment in ask ing for the appointment of who has had long residence in Alaska and whose interests are all here. No man who has that qualification can have that intimate knowledge of the Territory and her people and that vital interest in her wefarel that is so necessary to her development It takes time for one to develop that of knowledge and interest and the Governor of Alaska should have it rom the beginning of his term. Then the fact that Col Jones is a Democrat would subject him to the charge by those who might disagree with his policies, after they were developed Of working to disrupt the Administration in the in terest of the Democratic Party That is d charge that could not be made against man in such position as that which Col. Jones now has nor in any technical, administrative judicial position ItI could never be truthfully charged against Col Jones' no matter what might be his position But IL could arouse suspicious be very annoy Ing to a mah who has to deal with partisan matters
 It is probable that Judge Wickersham and his fol- lowers would oppose the appointment of Col Jones almost or quite as srenuously they have opposed the appointment of MT azeet For years he has been subject to animadversons from Judge Wickersham In the campaigns of 1914 and 1916 he was the par ucuar mark for Judge Wickersham's wrath
