TRULY THE ALASKAN HATES FRAUD
AND FALSE PRETENSE ANO HATES
IT MOST IN HIGH PLACES.
Previous to the session of the repub
lican convention st Ketchikan The Al
askan rnado this preliminary comment:
Rut this Is to be berne in mind? if
Governor Ho>;?&tt is for Corson, The
Alaskan is against him, as will be all
those who have the interest* of Alaska
at heirt. No man can serve two mas
ters. The nominee of the convention
must be for or acaiast the governor ?
for or against Alaska. He that is for
Hosrgatt is against Alaska and Alaska
is ..sainst him. These two cannot be
reconciled.
The Ketchikan Miner seems to h*Te
taken this very much to heart. Com
menting on it? and tho comment has
been made much of by the few Corson
papers to be found in the entire dis
trict?it says:
If that i# not anexamp'eof inexi us
able individual and partisan prejudice
a troper interpretation will not easily
be discovered. On a like theory the
Alaskan uvght b.ir-e an oppoMtion to
the I: publican candidve for president
who will doubtless have all the support
Governor Hoggatt may be able to glv??
him. Personal hatred thus publicly
proclaimed can only work to the injury
of the party by whom or in whose br
half it is exemplified.
Now it is to be said that the editor of
the Alaskan is not personally acquaint
ed with Governor Hoggait, nor is he
personally acquainted with Governor
Swineford. Therefore it canrot be a
(^?rsonjl matter but is one of principle.
Twice it has been the pleasure cf the
editor of The Ala?kan to boost for Gov
ernor Swineford with all the raijjht he
had for the nomination for the delegate
ship, believing that t'le former gover
nor was rock bottom oa certain well de
fined principles Hecauso Governor
Hoggatt is opposed to tl.ose principles
The A'a-Xan is opposed to him. Be
cause he carried his opposition beyond
the bounds of right and decency in go
ing to Washington and setting himself
against the efforts of the e'ected dele
gate The Alaskan's opposition to Gov
ernor Hoggatt was confirmed. But
when the governor, declaring that
"oily dive-keepers favor territlorial
government," goes into a party conven
tion and seeks to displace th? present
delegate by one of his own choosin;,
and choosing to that end one who af*
fects to pr acn territorial government
more d< voirly than did Ca'e himself,
thoo the tt mpted fraud upon the peo
ple is so pa'pabte that The Alaskan
cries out against i\ m.v ng "the man
who Governor Ho'.'l' >t* favors is against
the p' ' s-nod the peop e are against
him," u-.u .uo truth of the saying will
be demonstrated August 11th, handi
capped i ic'Ug+i the Jc'moastration has

GOVERNOR SWINEFORO'S CONFUSION
Hut Che light is beginning to dawn
up >n Governor Swineford, as evidenced
in ais discussion of the position of the
Juieau Record, to which place was
given here on Saturday. There Gov.
ernor S wine-ford finds it impossible to
reconcile the position uf the Record,

torial government firat last and all the
time," with Us championship of Mr.
Corson for tho delegateshlp. Every
body in Alaska unders'ands the situa
tion perfectly except him and >nj ex
planation that might be offered by the
Record would bo for him alone. Tho
Record is controlled by Governor Hog
gatt. Governor Hoggatt Is agains
territorial government ' firs" , last and
all the time" and of course the Record
Is also. Both the Record and Gover
nor Hoggatt have given e.\p:ession to
tbeir belief so often and so long ago
that they coulit not conceal the fact
now, however expedient they might
f-el It to be to do so. ltotb, however,
joined in securing tho nomination of
Mr. Corson for the delegateshlp. and
both are bending their utmost energies
to secure his election. To suppose that
these two that make their boast togeth
er that they are ' against territorial
government first, last and ail the time"
should do this for a candidate whose
basic doctrine is territorial government,
without having an understanding with
that canuidate as t p how ho shall be
have, if elected, is to assume that both
are fools? greater fools than their re
spective blundering in all this matter
stamps them to he? which is going some
When Mr. Corson accepted tho nom
ination out of the hand of Governor
Hoggatt. ?s evon he admits that ho did,
he started in that moment, to fool either
the governor who is "against territor
ial government -first, last and all
the time," or to fool tho people
who are FOR tectorial government
first, last and all the timo. Mr. Corson
knows the people are for territorial
government because in the platforms of
all tbeir conventions they so declare
and he knows ho could not expect to bo
elected without declaring in its favor.
And Governor 'Hoggatt. in *pito of his
rabid declaration, a'so kn-v s it, which
is why ho swxllowed the platform. Mr.
Corson devotes moi*. of his speech to the
advocacy of territorial government.
On his cards posted about town is the
motto ''Voto fer Territorial Gjvern
ment and John B. C rsoo," and yot
Governor Hoggatt and his newspaper
are for him. Mr. Corsjn must there
fore be preparing to disappoint either
the mau who gave him his nomination
or the people, and not to bo ablo to
guess which of the two it is designed to ;
.fool is to advertise oneself as ' easy" to
say the least. Governor Swicuford is
right, Tho Alaskan HATKS this sort of
thing and is doing what it can to ad
vertise its hatred of it.
It is getting to bo nothing loss than
the fashion to sail the warships round
the horn.

Her lips like roses einpo.irled
Gave forth a rill of laughter;
She brought the joy of the world?
Of this, and that hereafter.
So free that magical art
Would scarce avail to bin l h.'r,
She danced right into your h?art
And locked the door behind her !
