Wickersham Opens Alaska Campaign Rally at Fairbanks Auditorium
James Wickersham pledged to run for delegate to Congress from Alaska with an honest platform identical to the labor mass meeting, praising labor and critiquing rivals while urging a local territorial legislature and rail development to cut transport costs. He defended Roosevelt’s minimal local government stance and attacked the association mining law, labor liens, and fish taxation, promising reforms if elected.
