THE VALUE OF SERVICE
 RENDERED BY DELEGATE
 JAMES WICKERSHAN

Thousands of voters in Alaska will support Judge James Wick ersham in his candidacy for the Republican nomination for De- Itgate to Congress because of the valuable service he rendered the Territory when he was our representative during former years. He mace a record of ac- complishment in securing big things that is not subject to cri- ticism and which is appreci- ated and recognized even by his political foes.
 One of the Judges notable and successful fights was for the passage of the Organic Act, in 1912. This established the cap ltal and seat of government at Juneau, and created legisla- tive assembly that has wide powers and a large degree of home rule. Another accomplish ment that he worked steadily and successfully for was the construction of the Alaska Rail- road, at cost of $65,OO0,OOO.
 Without this latter great en- terprise the present extensive dredging development of the in terior would not have been pos sible. And it further opens the way to future great develop ment. Judge Wickersham's ef- forts also made possible the con- struction of the Alaska Agricul- tural College and School of Mines at Fairbanks, the estab-
 lShment of the Public School System in Alaska. the creation If the Mt. Mckinley Park, the construction of various public buildings in the Territory, and

JOHN RUSTGARD AND HIS
 NEW BUSINESS

l Attorney General states that
 this official SHALL NOT EN-
 GAGE IN ANY OTHER BUSH ] NESS" But the distinguished
 gentleman now holding the of
 flee seems to overlook that man. 1 datory clause. For months past
 he has made it his paramount 1 business to get the Republican
 nomination for Delegate to
 Congress.
 Tn October last, John Rust
 gard, at the expense of the Ter
 ritory, went to Fairbanks to en-
 gage in a little contest with the
 bank there relative to escheat- ing estates. He lost the case and
 then afterwards employed Nor
 ton E. Stevens to draw up appeal
 papers, costing the Territory
 $115 and court costs. The fore part of February, the case came
 up for hearing at San Francisco, but Attorney General RuStgard was so busy attending to his own l business of electiOneering that
 he could not find time to attend 1 court.
 But then John had a pleas ant time interviewing his politi- cal friends at Fairbanks, and in 1 cidentally he had to stop over at ; Anchorage ito confer with the manager of the Alaska Railroad on matters of freight rates" Just
 little more outside business that is really none of his busi-
 ness. But then the Territory
 was paying the expense.
 When John reached Seward
 and incidentally conferred with
 the people thereof, he found
 that he would have time to take
 a steamer to the westward to
 advise with the people of Seldo-
 via relative to incorporation of
 that community as a city" Of
 course, that was his private busi-
 ness but while the steamer was in port it gave John opportunity
 to talk with a few political
 friends.
 Tn order to get back to Seward
 John had to stick to the ship
 even though it did take him to
 Kodiak, where he had to see
 few more political friends But it was all at the expense of the Territory and what did John care, when even his lavisf steamer tips came out of the treasury of Alaska.
 But he started his campaign B trips as early as last August g of course, at the expense of tht 5 Territory. He had urgent busi . ness. at Klawock, Craig and Ret 5 *hikan, to discuss incorporation s taxation, admittance of Nativ . children into the public schools Fl Who ever before, during hi . eight years incumbency as At torney General, ever heard o John Rustgard travelling owe the Territory giving legal ad vice on matters that were n concern of his?
 To get his money for this cleo tioneering trip, one of the reas ons given by John was ito Ami GUS Curiae at the hearing at Kla Il Wock relative to the incorpora tion of the community at Kla wock as a city of the first class and to advise the citizens c s that community as to variou legal problems arising in con s nection herewith" That certainly a lucid explanatio sl and similar to some of the learn

GHOST OF OLD
 REGIME STILL
 HAUNTS SIP AIN
Agitations Spring Up in Country After Primo
 Is in Grave
By CLARENCE DU BOSE

MADRID, Nov. 8.-The political ghost of the dead dictatorship con- tinues to stalk the forums of Spain.
 Enmities engendered and parti- son alignments made during the seven years rule of General Primo de Rivera are agitating his cour1- try after he has gone to his grave.
 The political groups which sup ported Primo's dictatorship, and the men who held high office dur ing that regime, are these days be- in gattacked by rival groups-left- wing labor, social and political ele- ments-that were suppressed under the dictatorship.
 This is the explanation of con- siderable part of some recent dis turbances, although, of course, not all. It is movement of labor and political bands that opposed the dictatorship and were curbed by It. Now they turn the tables and give the enemy taste of his own medi- cine by breaking up or annoying as much as possible political meet ings of those who, while Primo ruled, had his favor.
 Student Unrest In addition, Spain is harassed by student unrest which has caused strikes at various universities; by some socialist and communist agita- tion, by widespread labor troubles and strikes caused by combina- ton of political and economic con- ditions-and back of it all, and merging directly or indirectly into good deal of the trouble, the movement for a republic in lieu of monarchy.
 The fights between Primo's old supporters and opponents take spe- officially, the form of opposing forc- es of the "monarchial Union and an alignment of labor and political | left groups, sometimes including self styled communists and social ists.
 "Monarchial Union" l These elements oppose the "Mon- archial Union" not so much because they are against the King, although some of them are, as because they are still bitter against those whc backed the dictatorship. Primo or ganized what he called the "Patri- otic Union." It was for all practi- cal purposes, his personal political machine. After he died it floundereo around awhile and finally reorgan- ized as the Monarchial Union. And the left leaders and other. elements they can sway, fight this ghost o1 Primo largely for revenge
 Beyond all this are groups that are straight-out republican Theii strategy is to try to align dissatls- fled workers, restless students, dis gruntled social groups, the politl- cally disaffected and any other ele- ments they can find. This way they hope some time to triumph
 Meanwhile the Army and tnt Church support the monarchy. They are potent forces and the govern ment says:
 We are prepared to meet any situation
