_\
1 feel it my duty as Democratic
National Committeeman for Alaska to
reply to u few of the untruthful and
inconsistent statements made by
Judge Wickersham in his speech at
‘Valdez on the evening of the 14th
day of October, 1916.
Judge Wickersham claimed in Se
attle, Ketchikan, Juneau and other
places that he had secured the legis
lation which resulted in the govern
ment constructed railroad in Alaska.
Knowing this to be an untruthful
statement I deemed it my duty to
ascertain the facts regarding the Na
tional legislation which authorized the
construction of a government * owned
railroad in Alaska. 1 therefore on
August 15th, 1916, wired Secretary
Lane to send me a history of the Al
aska Railroad legislation in Congress.
On August 19th, 1916, in response to
this wire 1 received the following:
Washington, 1). C.,
August 19th, 1916.
T. J. Donohoe,
Valdez, Alaska
Represntatives Hood anti William
Sulzer introduced bills to create Al
aska Railway Commission and Senator
Simmons a resolution to ascertain
cost of transporting equipment from
Panama in Sixty Second Congress.
House bill ten four eighteen as or
ginally introduced by Wickersham
providing for legislative assembly did
not contain provision for first Alaska
Railroad Commission. Provision was
inserted by Senatorial Committee.
Senate Bill forty-eight was introduc
ed by Senator Chamberlain first ses
sion sixty third Congress April
seventh, nineteen hundred thirteen
who made speech occupying forty one
pages Congressional Record. Wicker

ate Bill (Chamberlain Bill) was sub

March twelfth, nineteen hundred four
teen. Railway project and bill had
active and continued support of Presi
dent Wilson and Secretary Lane.

Wickersham claims that this reply j
was compiled by some department
clerk and not authorized by Secretary
Lane. You will note that my tele
gram was directed to Secretary Lane.

1 member and Mr. Jones for the time
being was Acting Secretary of the In
terior.
After Mr. Wickersham made his
speech at Juneau in which he also
claims that he had secured the rail
road legislation and that Senator
Chamberlain had introduced the bill in
the Senate, that Wickersham had pre
sented to him, John W. Troy, of Ju
neau, wired Senator Chamberlain • ol
ative to the matter and received the
following reply:
“Portland, Oregon,
September 2D, 1916.
John W. Troy,
Juneau, Alaska.
Alaska Railroad Bill my bill. Pass
ed Senate' first. It is the law under
which the railroad in Alaska is be
ing constructed. It was not introduced
by me at the request of Wickersham
nor written by him, and but for the
active support of President Wilson
and the administration it would not
I have passed at all.
(signed) Geo. K. Chamberlain.
Judge Wickersham devoted a con
siderable portion of his speech to an
attack upon myself and 1 am free to
confess that I am at a loss to know
why this was done, not that it makes
the slightest difference to me, but I
am certainly not an issue in this
campaign as l am not a candidate
for any oflice, either elective or ap
pointive. But he seeks through me
to tie the Democratic party to the
Guggenheims, the Fish Corporation,
the Transportation Companies and to
Shackleford, whom I believe is goner
ally recognized as being the leader ot'
the Republican party of Alaska.
There is no alliance, secret or other
wise, between the Democratic party
and the Shackleford wing of the Re
publican party of Alaska. There is
no alliance, secret or otherwise, be
tween the Democratic party and the
Guggenheims, the Fish Corporations
or the Transportation Companies and
neither of these companies have con
tributed one cent towards defraying
the expenses of the Democratic partj
campaign for this year. As an indi
vidual 1 am in no manner connected
with any transportation company, o»
with the Guggenheims or with the
Fishing Corporations other than m>
firm defended a recent case of the
Government again* t the Alaska i a •k
t As.'oc’ation a. the present term of
the District Court in the Third Di
vision for which we received a $500,001
fee. \ have not been employed by4he
Guggenheim interests since 1908.
Our firm at this time are attorneys
for the plaintiff in a personal injury
ease in which the Copper River &
Northwestern Railway Company is
defendant, the amount sued for being
$10,000.00.
Having put the statement of my
position and that of the Democratic
party clearly before you let us now
consider Judge Wickersham’s connec
tion with those “malefactors of
great wealth.” On June 20, 1916,
Judge Wickersham wrote Bart L.
Thane, of the Gastineau Mining Co.,
the following letter:
“House of Representatives, V. S. A.,
Washington, D. C., June 20, 1916.

My Dear Mr. Thane.
This letter is written to you in en
tire frankness and confidence, ^our
reply will be held strictly confidenti
al also. I have made every effort in
my power to secure a proper orgam
* zation of the Republican party in Al
. aska so that we might not only elect
the Delegate but the Republican mem
! bers of the Legislature as well. It
j seems to me the situation is such to
urge all members of the party to lay
aside personul grief and join hands
that Alaska may stand square with
the Administration of Hughes and
Fairbanks after the 4th of next
March.
I shall support the Republican Na
tional ticket as 1 have always done,
except in the single instance of four
years ago. When Mr. Roosevelt was
candidate I supported him. I send
you herewith a copy of the letters and
telegrams which passed between me
and ttbose in charge of the Seward
Convention insofar as the nomination
for Delegate is concerned. From this
correspondence you will discover that
if I had agreed to surrender my free
dom as the representative of the peo
ple of Alaska in the matter of patron
age 1 would have teen nominated
there. I did not do that and in my
refusal was and now am fylly sup
ported by the Congressional Republi
can Committee, to whom all the cor
respondence and the facts were sub
mitted.
The question which confronts me
now is: what will you and my other
good friends in Juneau do in the mat
ter of assisting me to secure proper
organization of the Republican party]
through the Divisional Convention.
Will you support me as a candidate
for Delegate with earnestness,—or at
all? Would my nomination in the Di
visional Convention in the First Di
vision be agreeable to you and would
it give strength to the organization
and assist in electing Republican
members to the Legislature? If 1
can feel assured that I can have a
fair support around Juneau I feel sure
of re-election. Will you write me
what the situation is and what l can
depend upon in the First Division.
Your reply will be held strictly con
fidential.
Very truly yours,
(signed) JAMES WICKERSHAM.”
Mr. Wickersham on the same day
wrote an identical letter to P. F.
Bradley who controls the great Tread
well corporations. You will note from
Judge Wickersham’s letter to Mr.
Thane his longing to co-operate with
Mr. Thane. Mr. Thane is manager of
the Gastineau mine and Mr. I). C.
Jackling is the president and control
ling factor of the Gastineau Mining
Co. Mr. Jackling is also a large
stockholder and reputed to have the
controlling interest in the Pacific Al
aska Navigation Co., which company
operates w’hat is known as the “Ad
miral Line" of boats. So much for
one transportation company.
Let us now* see about the other
transportation company. At the re
cent Republican Divisional Convention
of the Third Division, held at Val
dez on the 17th day of July, 1916, Mr.
George C. Hazelet who is generally
recognized as the Guggenheim politi
cal representative of the Third Di
vision secured in that Convention tin*
nomination of Mr. Wickersham for
Delegate to Congress as a candidate
of the Republican party of the Third
Judicial Division. The aggregation
of wealth commonly known as the
Guggenheims own the Kennecott
Mine, the Copper River & Northwest
ern Railway Co., and the Alaska
Steamship Company. Does it seem
possible that Mr. Hazelet as the poli
tical representative of the Third Di
vision of these immense interests
would secure the nomination of a man
who was sincerely opposing them.?
t
Does it not appear more reasonable
that the alleged antagonism of Judge
Wickersham’s to those interests its
merely a blufT for the purposes of get
ting the vote of the unthinking peo
ple.v My information is that Mr.
Hazelet has been ever since the Con
vention which nominated Mr. Wick
ersham and now i^ sincerely and earn
estly working for the electi n of Mr.
Wiekersham.
Mr. Wiekersham devoted a great
portion of his recent speech at Valdez
to stating what he had done in the
way of securing legislation while in
Congress and named a number of laws
he had passed hut he failed to mention
one very important law which he had
passed on July 18, 1914, which reliev
ed the Copper River & Northwestern
Railway with other railway companies
in Alaska from paying the license
tax theretofore imposed of $100.01) pel
annum per mile. I fail to find where
Mr. Wiekersham has ever used his
great talents to relieve the restaurant
keeper, hotel keeper, cigar store,
boarding house, etc., from this feder
al license tax. but he seems to have
been moved by a great sympathy for
the poor downtrodden Guggenheims
struggling along with their ( opper
River & Northwestern Railway Co.,
hence he secured the passage of the
bill which relieved them from paying
$100.00 per annum per mile tax un
their railroad.
