NON-PARTISAN COMMiFTFE
APPEALS FOR FINDS

Money Required to Make Seli-G-oveniment
Fight for Alaskan People? Committee
Asks Money From Masses
TO THE PEOPLE
Funds are very urgently needed with
which to conduct the campaign for self
government in Alaska, which is repre
sented ia the contest that is now being
waged over the delegateship by the
non-partisan candidacy of Hon. A. P.
Swineford, Those interested are
earnestly requested to contribute as
much as they can toward that end.
i'he campaign for self-government in
Alaska and the candidacy of Gov,
Swineford for delegate to congress are
in the interest of the masses. No
special inducement is offered to any
class or industry for which a contri
bution might be made. No club is
swung over the head of capital for the
purpose of forcing money. There
is none to appeal to for money with
which to meet the legitimate expenses
of the campaign except the people in
their individual capacities as American
citizens.
With the issues of the campaign
placed fairly and squarely before the
people there can be no question as to the
outcome. Alaskans like all Americans
desire the privilege of exercising their
right to govern themselves. There can
be do doubt of that.
Time is of the essence of the situation.
There are only eight weeks remaining
in which to conduct a campaign. That
means that the committees having the
campaign in charge must be^in work
j at once. To do that it is necessary for
the committee to have money. It ap
peals to the people for that. The fight ii
for them and only to them can the com
mittee look for support.
Contributions can be made to any of
the following persons:
To Edwin Browne, treasurer of the
non-partisan committee.
To W. S. McKean, secretary of the
non-partisan committee.
To John W. Trov, chairman of the
non-partisan committee.
To A. K Wildt, member of the non
partisan committee.
To Chris Shea, member of the non
partisan committee.
To Dr. J. P. Brawand, member of the
non-partisan committee.
To Phil Abrahams, member of the
nou-partisan committee.

PLAN FUSION
''Leaders" Scheme lor Repnb
lican-Democratic Union
The story comes from Junean that
those who conceived the idea of run
Ding Alaskan politics on party lines are
doing all withiD their power to escape
from being caught in their own trap.
It is said there is a plan on foot now to
have the democratic and republican
'?leaders," when the conventions shall
have convened, "get together" and
agree upon a ticket, one of the parties
to take the short term and the other
the long term. It is pointed out that
such a combination would surely win,
as there would be nothing left for the
voters to do but to ratify the selections
of the "leaders."
It is said that the strength that is
shown by Gov. Swineford has inspired
this "get together" plan. The Juneau
advocates of this scheme are said to
favor J. M. Shoup for the long term
delegatesbip.
It is even said that the tories, in case
this combination can be effected, will
permit, the conventions w declare for
territorial government. Whether they
will regard the declaration as binding
on the delegate after election or not is
not stated.

The Al-Ki, which sailed from Seattle,
