Czar's relative declines to assume charge in Russia's
crisis and recommends hero of Manchurian retreat
for the job? Attempt on Nicholas' life thought to be
cause of his change of mind
[Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan]
Si. Petersburg, Aug. 13 ? Grand
Duke Nicholas has refused to serve as
military dictator. He recommends
Gen. Llnevltch for the position. The
grand duke gives as his reason for
favorinj the former commanQer of the
Manehurian army the fact that he is a
competent military maD. It is believed
however, that an attempt that was
made t? assassinate the grand duke by
the imperial guards last Wednesday is
the reiil cause for his change in mind.

C OMMII rFE MAN SHAW SAYS
SWINEfORD AND CUE
Skagway, Aug. 13 ? To the Editor
As member of the democratic ?crritor
U1 committee for Skagway I desire to
say a word to the voters of this city
with reference to tomorrow's election.
The democrats of Skagway have been
entirely ignored by the Juneau demo
crats committeemen who called the so
called contention which nominated H.
W. Mellen for delegate. The notice of
the. first committee meeting was re
ceived here when it was too late for
their committeeman to attend propos
ed the meeting at Juneau. After
the committee met? or was sup
posed to have met? and called the con
vention no word as to its action was
sent to the committeeman at Skagway,
who has received no recognition or
word from it at all since the beginning
of the campaign. IN SHORT SKAG
WAY AND SKAG WAV'S MEMBER
OE THE COMMITTEE HAVE BEEN
AS COMPLETELY OVERLOOKED
AS THEY COULD HAVE BEEN HaO
THEY NEVER EXISTED.
I believe that these actions of the
democratic committeemen and the
candidate of the so-called convention
which was held under its auspices re
lieves democrats of Skagway from any
obligation that might if things had
been different be due from them
as party men to support Mr. Mellen. I
further believe, in view of the unjust
and totally uutruth'ul attack on the
Alaska road commission in the plat
form of that convention and in view of
the efforts of supporters of Mr. Mellen
and Mr. Murane to unite their forces to
elect the former for the long and the
latter for the short term, that it is the
duty of every voter in Skagway irre
spective of party to give his vote to
Gov. Swineford and Thomas Cale to
morrow.
Respectfully,
E. J. Shaw.

10 COMBINE
"Republicans" and ''Demo
crats"' Fusing at Jnnean
Juneau, Aug. 10? Strong supporters
of C. D. Murane, of Nome, and H. W.
Mellen, of Juneau, the "regular" re
publican and the "regular" democratic

attempting to arrange a combination
between those men. It is said the
efforts are being made at, Fairbanks

J uneau.
The Juneau Dispatch supports the
combination and urges it as the only
' proper solution of the difficulties whict
confront Juneau.
