A RESULT OF SEATTLE CONVEN
TION.
The pass&ee of the bill giving Alaska
representation in coneress is the direct
result of the Seattleconvention and the
work of the delegates at the national
capital selected by It. It was all framed
up by the congressional party that came
to Alaska last year to provide Alaska a
government after the plan of that pro
posal by Senator Dietrich in the last
con cress. Speaker Cannon, Senator
Henenway and Representative Tawney
were all committed against a territorial
government or an elective delegate.
They were going to give us a commis
sioner at Washington and have a gov
erning commission in Alaska, the whole
to be creatures of legislative commit
tee? of some sort. Senator Beveridge,
chairman of the senate committees on
territories, had long before committed
himself to a part at least, of that plan.
But the people of Alaska determined
to have something to say about the
matter, themselves. They met at Seat
tle and issued a manifesto. They de
clared that Alaska does not beg for
favors but demands rights. They de
manded "the application to Alaska of
the fundamental American principle of
self-government and elective represen- 1
tation in oongress." Three sturdy and }
able American citizens were selected to
take that declaration to Washington
and to deliver it to those who had de
cided upon Alaska's fate without con
sulting Alaskans at all.
The Stirling Americanism of that
procedure, backed by the unwavering
support of the Washington state con
gressional delegation, senators and
representatives. Representatives Sul
?er. Lacey and others in the house and
Senators Nelson, Patterson and others
in the senat?, put to shame those who
had decided to use Alaska as a prize fcr
which their little legislative machine
could play checkers. The men who
had become so wise in the course of a
pleasure trip to this district kept still
and permitted justice to have its way.
Alaska, through the Seattle conven
tion and its delegates, appea'ed from
Philip drunk to Philip sober, and has
secured that which will be a means to
what it demands.
The moral is that it pays to stand out
for your undeniable rights in (the
United States; and further, that the
people of Alaska owe much to the
Seattle convention and the delegates it J
sent to Washington.

Got. Swineford hrs more reason to
call Juneau traitorous to Southeastern
Alaska than Juneau has to call him so.
Got. Swineford is giving his time to
the people of this section and all the
ether portions of the district. His ex
penses are being paid by people of
.Vaska who do not reside in Juneau. In
the mean time, what is Juneau doing
for Southeastern Alaska, or any other
section of the district ? How often has
Juneau betn stirred to action o-j any
public matter when there has been no
pie in sight for Juneau ?
The Juneau Dispatch says Got.
