GOV. SWINEFORD'S CANDIDACY
Got. Swineford is now a candidate
for delegate to congress, and in his can
didacy is represented the very acme of
American citizenship in Alaska. He
is a non-partisan, non-sectional Alas
kan. who is sacrificing his time and
energy to the cause of Liberty as it is
represented in the yearning of the peo
pie of this north country for the appli
cation of American principles to their
government.
This situation places a duty upon the
citizens of Alaska of an importance
such as does not often corae to Ameri
can electors. It has been many years
since any other great body of English
speaking people were taxed without
representation and governed without
their consent, such as has been the
case in Alaska for many years. These
are conditions that have been met at
other places and other times with bay
onet and sword, but the law granting
Alaskans a delegate to congress of their
own choosing and the candidacy of
Gov. Swineford give it kinto our hands
to settle the issue with the ballot.
Nothing beyond a bare statement of
the facts is required to point the way
toward which duty leads, and nothing
further is required to emphasize the
exegencies of the occasion. It is the
plain duty of the people of Alaska to
make Gov. Swineford's majority so
large that there can be no further
question as to the fact that they are
Americans possessing American ideals
and a jealous love for their Ameri
can rights.
Gov. Swineford began the battle for
self-government in the first official re
port he made to the president of the
I'ntted States after his appointment as
governor in 1SS5. He has kept up the
fight since that ticje with a singleness
of purpose that has done credit to his
.10.25
. .75
. 2.25
. 4.50
. 9.00
patriotism. He is, as said Mr. Wildt
Saturday night, the personification of
the fight for home rule. Then his ad
vancing years and his acceptance of
the nomination (or the short term only
removes anything of a personal or sec
tional nature from the campaign, if
indeed, such could be identified with
this man who has never known section,
faction or party where Alaska is con
cerned.
A VOTE FOR GOV. SWINEFORD
IS A VOTE FOR OUR RIGHT TO
AN AMERICAN GOVERNMENT IN
ALASKA; A VOTE AGAINST HIM
IS A VOTE AGAINST THE APPLI
CATION OF AMERICAN PRIN
CIPLES OF GOVERNMENT TO
THIS DISTRICT. Nothing else is in
volved in his candidacy beyond an op
portunity to reward with a fitting
honor a valiant warrior who has grown
old but not tired in the battle for Lib
erty and Freedom.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, in
speaking of Mr. Shoup's declaration
(made in Seattle), says:
"Indeed, such a commission, worked
in such a manner, in the results which
it would accomplish and ignoring the
manner of its selection, would be the
best substitute yet suggested for a real
legislature, chosen by the people of
Alaska to make their own laws."
Granting that for the sake of argu
ment, why have a substitute at all?
Why not have the real thing*.
The New York Bar Association
exhonorated former Senator David B.
Hill for his connectien with the life
insurance companies. It was alleged
that the Equitable paid Hill 35,000 a
year. The committee of the bar which
looked into the matter at the request of
Hill says the sum was paid as a legit
imate retainer fee.
The insurance companies will con
test the question of their liability for
losses on account of the destruction of
buildings in San Francisco by dynamite
to prevent the spread of the fire as well
as that for losses on account of the
earthquake.
The explanation of the causes which
have lead to Mr. Shoup's sudden change
of heart on the question of self-govern
ment would make mighty interesting
reading to the people of Alaska.
The Indiana democratic state con
vention has followed that of Missouri
?nd endorsed William J. Bryan for the
democratic presidential nomination lu
