RESPECT FOR THE PEOPLE
The men who have respect for the honesty and
integrity of the "poor workingman" are those who tell
the truth to them and submit the facts for their judg
ment with confidence in the result. It is no evidence
of respect for workingmen to tell them cock-and-bull
stories about bogy men. to attempt to arouse envy
and resentment in their breasts toward those who
employ them or those who are engaged in other
classes of employment.
There is all the difference in the world between
the big and manly way in which Senator Sulzer has
presented his case to the working people of Alaska
and the manner of campaign that has been conducted
by the Wickershamites. Sulzer has appealed to the
working classes as he has to all classes, as citizens
of Alaska, and to them he has set forth the same
program that he has set forth to the others. He
stands for self-government as a basic principle, and
asks^yt^^it.. be applied to Alaska as a condition prece
dent to the solution of Alaskan problems. On the
other hand Delegate Wickersham. Sutherland and
others have been appealing to prejudice and passion.
Sulzer has made his campaign in the open. The others
have set all manner of malicious reports in circulation
through subterranean channels. Sulzer talks from
the platform and throught the press. Others talk in
whispers behind closed doors, and send poison adrift
from concealed sources. Sulzer talks from the public
records, Wickersham and Sutherland harrangue about
"mangy politicians," "dirty bunch of politicians," "loaf
ers." "the gut of graft," "fish trust." money, etc.
We submit the case of who should be chosen
Delegate to Congress to the men and women who are
here to make Alaska home, and a fit home in which
to rear children and a country where it will be good
for those who will bear their names in the future
to live.
ELECTION BETTING
Betting on elections is bad business. It is as
much worse than betting on baseball as elections are
more important than baseball. Betting on elections
commercializes contests which should be decided on
issues. When men put up money on an election they
have a financial interest in the result. They go out
and try to make their money win. They do not go
to the polls and vote their judgments and conscien
ces, and leave others to do the sr.me. They try to
force ballots into the box irrespective of the con
science beind the ballot. It is bad business?particu
larly is that the case when one bets on results which
involve his own vote. That is why there are laws
agaiust election betting in many States.
WORKING MEN NOT FOOLS
One of the absurd things in connection with the
Alaska campaign is to hear Wickersham and his co
horts contend that the Wilson administration Is con
trolled by the "Interests." They must think Alaska
workingmen fools. President Wilson gave us the
Clayton anti-trust law, the eight-hour Adamson law,
the labor commission, the trade commission, the anti
child labor law, the rural credits law, and the reserve
act. and he gave us Brandeis and Clarke on the Su- 1
preme Court. In fact, practically all the opposition
there is to the re-election of the President come3 from j
the Wall Street interests and the envious Colonel. ;
Labor is supporting him solidly throughout the Na
tion. Yet we have Wickersham and a few claquers j
going about the streets and trails of Alaska claiming
that the "Fish Trust" controls President Wilson and
the Administration!
The Empire does not believe that the Aalska (
workingmen are as big fools as Wickersham and his j
supporters take them to be! (
I J
NO WONDER
It is no wonder that The Colonel's condemnation
of President Wilson's way of settling the railroad 1
strike and assertion that he ought to have settled it J,
the way "I settled the coal strike" did not make a <j
hit in the Middle West, or other sections of the coun- c
try. The Colonel let the coal strike proceed for five 1
months, permitted the people in the large cities to E
reach a freezing condition, and finally called out
troops in many places. President Wilson settled the a
railroad strike before it started, the railroads never ^
missed a schedule, workingmen. not only employed ?
at railroading but employed in factory and farm which 0
depended upon continuous transportation facilities, ,
never lost a day's work, the crops were all moved,
and the wheels of industry never stopped. There was
no suffering and no loss of time or capital.
Sulzer stands for construction; Wlckorsham for
destruction. Sulzer is a developer. He has added to
Alaskan production. He has mado Alaska larger by
making room In It for more people to live and prosper.
Wlckersham has been an office-holder. Ho has not
secured any constructive legislation. Ho has retarded
development. He has spent his time trying to set
class against class, faction agalust faction, section
against, section. He would have the people remain
In a chaottic condition. He would keep them quarrel
ling. He is opposed to the settlement of issues. He
would rather fight over them.
Out at Valdez Delegate Wlckersham set forth
another claim of achievement. He said that be had
secured the division of the old Third Judicial Divis
ion, by having the Fourth Division, with headquarters
at Fairbanks, established. The bill dividing the Third
Judicial Division was passed before Wlckersham be
came a Delegate to Congress. Like most of tho other
Wlckersham claims, this one withers before the truth.
Four years ago when the Alaska organic act was
up for debate in Congress Wlckersham said that he
was satisfied with the federal fish laws. He had then
been Delegate for four years and the fish laws had
been In force for six years. He ought to have known
what he was talking about. Are the voters satisfied
with the sort of regulation and government the Wlck
ersham party has given us?
There was a time when people supported Dele
gate Wlckersham because they could come nearer
| Mupporting self-government for Alaska that way
j than by any other course of procedure that was offered
to them. That time passed a long while ago. No
one is supporting Wlckersham because of American
t principles of government any more.
There are three parties in Alaska?the Democratic
party, the Republican party and the Wickersham party.
The latter party has been in the saddle for eight
years. Are you satisfied with the result?
Do not forget to go to the Coliseum Theatre to
night and hear the Democratic candidates for the Leg
islature and road commissioner speak on the issues
of the day.
A vote for Wickersham is a vote to secrificc the
advantages of self-government for the luxury of hav
ing a $7,500-a-year official mud-thrower.
I A vote for Sulzer is a vote for self-government,
a vote of self-confidence and self-respect.
UNWORTHY ASPERSION
(Iditarod Pioneer)
Mr. Wickersham says that President Wilson "per
sonally pledged" the "full Territorial form of gov
ernment" to Alaska in his message to Congress on
December 2, 1913. He reverts again and again to this
"pledge." and speaks of "the unfriendly action of the
Wilson administration in opposition to giving Alaska"
that form of government.
The aspersion cast upon the President by Wick
ersham is unworthy of a man of his attainments and
ability. Nothing Is more inexcusable, even in politi
cal controversies, than wilful misrepresentation. Mr.
Wickersham knows, as every citizen should know,
j that even the President of the United States cannot
"pledge" any legislation. He can recommend legisla
tion, and he can use the tremendous power of his
office in furthering legislative action; but that is as
far as his powers extend, adn these are seldom used
except on matters of the greatest gravity. In his
message of December 2. 1913. President Wilson said:
A duty faces us with regard to Alaska
which seems to me very pressing and very
imperative: perhaps I should say a double
duty, fir it concerns both the political and
material development of the Territory. The
people of Alaska should be given the full Ter
ritorial form of government, and Alaska, as a
storehouse, should be unlocked.
There is a decided difference between a pledge
and a recommendation. But compare that straightfor
ward declaration of the duty of the nation toward Al
aska with the meaningless statement with "which Mr. '
Hughes, whose professed follower Mr. Wickersham
is. dismissed the whole subject of Alaska in his
Seattle speech. Said the Republican candidate:
You have a great Empire in Alaska. I
want to see it developed.
?iNBMH _______
DO YOUR OWN' THINKING
(Ketchikan Progressive-Miner) 1
One of the greatest faculties worth cultivating, is ?
the faculty of thinking for ourselves. If we think
for ourselves, we invariably act on our own lntl&tlve. ]
We don't depend on Bob, Jack or Frank to tell us ]
what to do. ]
The cultivation of that faculty has been much
encouraged of late years, yet it is far short of ,
what it should be. We have had several examples j
of that lately. A strike is the child of unthinking ;
people. The great war is the child of the unthink- j
ing mass who allowed the big fellows to do the
thinking, just the same as the walking bosses do
for the strikers. Just the same as the reformer does. '
In the political world the same condition exists. I
There are some who want to dictate. They allow their .
mind to run away with the notion that they are all
wise, when as a matter of fact they are only trouble
makers. We have a few in Alaska. Fortunately, we
are acquiring the habit of thinking for ourselves. We
don't allow the grouchy, the fault-finder to direct our
actions. We have learned to distinguish the differ
ence between the pessimist and the optimist; the
lover of peace and the troble breeder. It's a good
thing, too.
The comedy portion of the political campaign al
ready is in evidence. The Anchorage Star carries at
the head of its editorial columns the names of the
nominees of the "Progressive Democratic" party. The
name of James Wickersham for Delegate heads this
nondescript ticket. It is probable that really "pro
gressive" Democrats will find no reason for support
ing a candidate who is opposed to President Wilson. .
who certainly is entitled to be termed "progressive," ?
if ever a public servant was.?(Iditarod Pioneer.) 4

-A man will spend the greater part of his time and
iioney roaming the hills searching for gold, while
lundreds of thousands of golden dollars are allowed

ireds of thousands of them running up Lowe River
ind Siwash Creek. Get busy before some firm from

jector.)
It is a feather in the cap of Candidate Sulzcr
hat he is the first aspirant for Congressional honors
o come out for the subdivision of Alaska into Con
gressional districts. Now that he has declared hlra
lelf, his opponents will likely be clamoring for seats
in the same wagon. There Is a glaring possibility
hat the present Delegate will be advocating the same
neasure within a week.?(Douglas Island News.)
Dog fish are being eaten as a delicacy back East,

ompany to can dogfish.?(Valdez Prospector.)

People with
"PAY-DAYS"
The people who have pay-days
are the rulers of the world. They
keep "the wheels going:' around"
in every line of busines and in
dustry.
When you "lose your pay-day"
which will happen sometimes
from reasons not affecting your
skill or worth as a worker, the
hunt for another market for your
service jumps to the status of
serious and important business. It
should be done in a business way.
To want advertise and to answer
want ads is the business way!
