NO PARTY
Dawson Paper Says Keep
Partis ;D Politics Oat
(Dawson News.)
Alaska is about to enjoy what might
be termed its first parliamentary elec
tion. By continued and expensive
agitation, in Alaska and on the Pacific
coast and at Washington, the right to
representation in the house of repre*
sentatives has been secured. And now
Alaska is torn asunder as to what is
best to do? elect a democrat or elect a
republican. Alaska in this matter
would do well to take a leaf from the
book of experiences of Yukon. A man
whose ONLY qualifications are.that he
is a republican or a democrat, is unfit
to represent Alaska. And a people
which will vote for or against a man
simply because he is of, or not of, their
own party brand, deserves what it gets
? neglect, jobbery, misrepresentation.
Alaska has many imperative reforms to
be secured, and the way to secure them
is to go after them, and to refuse to be
diverted into a discussion of Uncle
Sam's Philippine policy, his financial
system, or the tariffs on Georgia cotton
goods. That man who is more of an
Alaskan than a republican or a demo
crat is best fitted to represent Alaska.
Of course the question will ariss
there, as it has arisen here ia times
past, whether, all things else being
equal, the voter should not vote for the
candidate representing his own brand
of polities. Say they, if two men are
equally alive to local issues, one a
republican and '.he other a democrat,
should I not vote my ticket? And that
is the unfortunate thin? about party
politics? in a party election the voter
WILL persist in thinking the m?n of
his own brand of party the equal of the
best man the other side can possibly
secure to run. Partyism is like colored
spectacles? it tells the untruth of every
thing seen. And it is proverbial that a
stalwart party man will vote for a yel
low dog of his owu pirty. He does this
often in sincere?t hone-tv, -e ievinsf ?
poor miscui.ied man? that his candidate
is the best of the candidates offering.
