Subscribed and sworn to before me. this 30th day (NOE)?The Development Number sales and over 1.000 copies sold for free distribution are NOT in-j eluded in this circulation statement issued by THE EMPIRE?EDITOR.) 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 14 -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 :o swim the waters of the bay unmolested. Hump >ack salmon bring a good price, and we have hun ireds of thousands of them running up Lowe River ind Siwash Creek. Get busy before some firm from he States grabs your opportunity.?(Valdez Pros 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, ,nd appear in the markets under fancy names. We iave dogfish in unlimited quantities and the meat is iner than that of the tuna, which is now being anned extensively for salads. Why not form a ompany to can dogfish.?(Valdez Prospector.) f , ?
