you won't be able to correct them until you get it." he asserted.
 Not Seeking Glory
 He pledged himself to work for adequate appropriations for roads and trails and specifically endorsed the projected Pacific Yukon In- ternational Highway. He said he was seeking no personal glory or credit in these matters, but prom lised to work with others to obtain the best possible results for his constituents. When Wick was in Congress he was always at war with General Richardson (then President of the Alaska Road Com mission) He didn't want to see how much money he could get for roads and trails, but only that he got credit for what was allowed" he said.
 Traces Cannery Deal
 Reverting to the fact that as Alaska's first Attorney General he had set aside an agreement made by a special attorney for the Ter ritory which provided that none of the cannery taxes in litigation should be collected until the United States Supreme Court had finally decided the cases, and had enforced their collection so that the next Legislature had the money to cover appropriations of Sl,2o0,000, MT. Grigsby said the canneries were not aiding in financing his cam paign, and that he was making 1t solely through the aid of his friends here and elsewhere in Alas ka.
 Wickersham is the canner es' friend, he asserted. He recited the history of the trap leasing bill prepared by the former and which, he declared, netted Wickersham S8,- coo and w. L. Paul $6,000. Both men, he added, had admitted they had received those sums, but not until after the fact had already be- come public property.
 Sold Influence
 He charged this money was paid them for their political influence, and because they and the canneries thought that they could induce Delegate Sutherland to introduce the measure which he consistently refused to do. He read letters signed by Judge Wickersham, one defending the leasing proposition and another trying to persuade , Sutherland to either introduce it or agree to let some other member of Congress do it.
 Under that measure, trap sites could be leased for period of four years and the lessees could renew their leases for four-year periods forever. He secuted Wickersham' defense that the money he received was for legal servics, pointing out that the canneries have attorneys i they employ on an annual basis who were paid to perform just thai kind of services. He contended that S250 was an ample sum for tht legal work involved, and added witt a laugh that "even Grover Winr would have drawn it for $500.
 He ridiculed the pretense tha there was any war among the hold CTS of trap sites, and that the pub lie interest would have been served by such law. It was merely al effort to perpetuate the presen ownership of fish trap sites, he as serted.
 Caused Some Alarm
 Following the expose of the deal just before the 1928 election, thu Metlakatla Indians revolted iron the Paul leadership and went Dem ocratic by a four to one vote, thu speaker pointed out Rumors O disaffection among other clans wer' rife, and Judge Wickersham ant Paul, he charged, became alarmet lest the controlled Indian bloc 0 votes got away from them. So the. concocted the scheme of suing tn Federal Government for some $20, 100000 for alleged loss of certain rights claimed by the Indians. Thi was presented to the Indian con vention at Haines last year am they collected $10 a head from tn tribesmen ostensibly to finance tn passage of a bill in Congress t authorize the suits. That measure he termed, pure bunk. It was in troduced but never was reported ou of committee and is dead in com mittee today.
 Any disinterested lawyer, he de clared would readily affirm tha there wasn't any chance for enact
