Predictions are beinsr made daily that

GOV. SWINEFORO ACCEPTS CALL
Leader in fight for self-government will run for dele,
gate to congress for short term at request of people
of Alaska-Petitions presented Saturday night and
speech of acceptance made
For D 1-gats tram Alaska, Short
T? rm,
HON. A. F. SWUVEFORD.
Former Gov. A. P. Swineford has ac
cepted a call from the supporters of self
government for Alaska, irrespective of
party, to be a candidate for delegate to
congress for the short term, and his
campaign has been fairly launched.
At a largely attended meeting at which
there was not a little enthusiasm dis- j
played, held at Firemen's ball in thisi
city Saturday night, petitions signed (!
by hundreds of voters in Alaska were
presented to the vigorous old champion i
of the cause of self-government in the '
north, asking that he permit them toi
vote.
A. F. Wildt was chairman of the
meeting. In presenting the petitions
to GoV. Swineford he made a very
earnest and eloquent speech. He fre
ling-ly referred to the right of the
people of Alaska to govern themselves
rod of their long fight to secure it. He
said that Gov. Swineford is the personi
fication of the cause of home rule and
of the demand that it be applied to
Alaska.
Gov. Swineford delivered an earnest
speech, in the course of which he briefly
outlined he issues of the campaign.
He vigorously urged that the question
of first importance in Alaska at the
present time is that of self-govern
ment, He said there can be no parti
sanship in that issue? it is both repub
lican and democratic. Be said that he
wm strongly in favor of aid to railroads,
wagon roads, Nome harbor improve
ments, lighthouses and other aids to
navigation, and that he will, if elected,
give his best efforts to secure all of
these. He ridiculed the contention
that these things should interfere with
the demand for self-government. He
said the propositions are not in conflict
in the least, but that on the contray,
with a territorial legislature which
would biCK up the delegate to congress
secured, the fight would be more than
half won.
Gov. Swineford said that if elected,
he would be the representative of all
the people of the district rather than
that of any part of it.
The chairman was authorized to ap
point a committee of the citizens of
Skagway to have charge of Gov. Swine
ford's campaign in Skaff way and to act
with similar committees to be appoint
ed from other sections of the district.
Mr. Wildt will probably make his
selections in time for their announce
ment tomorrow.
Gov. Swlneford left Skagway on the
Jefferson yesterday morning for Ju
neau. Before leaving he said he was
very grateful for the warm welcome
he had received in the city of Skag
way ajd that whether elected or not
this city and its enterprising citizens
will always bold a warm place in his
heart.
