WITH THE AMERICANS IN LOR
RAINE, Oct. 5. — After throwing

Mr. Sulzer Delegate.
Running on a progressive plat
form in which lie pledged himself
to work for many reforms and leg
islative enactments for the better
ment of the Territory of Alaska.
Chas. A. Sulzer was elected Del
egate to Congress in 1916. lie took
office on April 3, 1917. Shortly
thereafter Mr. Wiekersham, who was
his opponent in 1916, filed a con
test in the House of Representa
tives, alleging that he had right
fully been elected as Delegate to
Congress, and asking that Mr. Sul
zer be unseated and that he, Wick
ershain, be recognized as the rep
resentative of Alaska.
Mr. Wiekersham has not suec'-ed
ed in having Mr. Sulzer unseated
nor is it likely that he will suc
ceed. Mr. Sulzer is still Delegate
and is working hard, as he has ever
since taking office, in the Interests
of the Territory. The elections
committee has made no report to the
House of Representatives, and there
is no knowing when any report will
be made, nor what It will be. Er
roneous reports have been circu
late throughout the Territory by
Mr. Wiekersham and his followers
that he had been seated as In le
gate. These reports are false.
In this connection, a warning is
given to all voters to beware of r i
mors and reports that will be cir
culated in the future regarding the
contest and other mutters.
