THE FAVORITES AND THE FIELD
Richard Ryan who is now in Juneau
prospecting for the delegatesbip pre
sents uot a very pretty picture of the
convention. Nome, o;- the Seward
penniusula, will go there with two sets
of delegates, both bringing credentials
representing them to be the true re
presentatives of that section. This
means war and a complete division of
the work and influence of that section,
where harmony and concentration is
the thing desired. It indicates another
thing however that at least the re
publicans of the Nome district take this
convention seriously. That it does so
is probably due to Mr. Ryan himself.
He has been in Washington all winter
and desires to go again and depended
upon the support of the people of the
peninsula. What divides the sentiment
there is not made entirely plain but the
presumption Is that it is for and against
Mr. Ryan. Then again the miners of
the Nome countr> have set up a candi
date of their own to still further divide
up the voting when it comes to that.
Now in the interior, the Tanana
country, the people seem to be of one
mind, so much so that they have sent
nothing more to this convention than
their regrets ? they will not be there.
Republicans and democrats alike have
endorsed the candidate of the miners
Thomas Cale.
The committee having charge of
Cole's campaign have, it is reported,
strucK a bargain with the miners of
Nome, thev will support the Nome man
for the short term if Cale is supported
dowu that way for the long term. If
this .-eciprocal treaty is effective it
makes the election of Cale to the long
term practically certain, for besides
these Valdez bas said it will support
any candidate on which the Tanana
might unite. The Tanana is a unit and
Valde* may be expected to keep her
word. And besides Cale can be expect
ed to get a large share of the miners
vote throughout the rest of the dis
trict.
This concentrates the interest on the
snort term candidate, so far as the worK
of Saturday's convention is concerned
as well as ?f the several independents
in the field.
Let us look the field over with this
regard. So far no one of all the candi
dates who will go before it? Shoup,
Ryan. Murrane, Youngs ? has said that
he will be bound by the action of the
convention. Youngs has said that he
will not. The utility of the convention
under the circumstances is not clear,
though of course it serves the |#irouse
cf an advertising medium for the am
bitious. Its only other effect so far as
can be seen is to add to the general
discard. Party lines, whatever may be
said about it, will not be observed in the
voting. It will be a question sharply
defined as between the man tfho will
best serve the interests of Alaska? and
who will best serve the interests of the
great corporations of this country.
Former Governor Swineford stands
squarely for the people, for representa
tive self government. He is a part of
the history of Alaska, his position is
unquestioned, his course has been true
to the line from the day he set foot in
the north. He seeks election for a de
finite purpose? a purpose to fulfill the
desires of the real people of Alaska,the
patriotic people of the soil.
THE RETURN OF JUDGE WICK
ERSHAM
If the Dress reports are true the pres
ident has issued his ultimatum and
Judge Wic'iersham will be returned to
the bench of the Third Judicial Divis
ion to remain so Ion? as Rooserelt
?hall remain in office. While we have
not the slightest personal feeling
against Judg" Wickersham, we ques
tion the wisdom of this course. The
opposition to his appointment has been
strong and the fight against his con
firmation has engendered a bitterness
that must seriously impure his useful
cess on the bench." ? Exchange.
How has the opposition to Judge
Wickersham been strong? In fiction
and technicalities only. The great
number of the people in the Xanana
believe Judge Wickersham to be
honest. A few people who have suffer
ed through his judgment in court have
kept up a war against him, taking ad
vantage of the great distance from
Washing toe and the isolation of this
country to cloud his title u> his place oo
the beach, la all the senate one nun
has kept up an implacable fight against
him, by the use of technicalities, and
he has won just three others to his
following.
Judge Wlckersham in his answer to
all the charges brought against him,
has completely satisfied the president
and the great body of the senate that
there is nothing to this so-called oppo
sition but the malice of defeated law
yers and litigants.
Now, is a judge to be unseated by
these? while his judgments, that pro
voke the opposition, stand firmly in the
court of appeals? Hardly. In such case
a judge, to save his place, must forever
decide against the weak, fearing
to offend the strong. There was nothing
for Mr. Roosevelt to do in this matter
but to send Judge Wickersham back to
Alaska, no case having been made
auaiDst him.
Marshal Shoup, according to his
very plainly defined attitude on the
question of territorial government?
which means the right and ability of
A'askans to manage their own affairs
politically would not,? if elected to go
to Washington, represent the real sent
iment in Alaska. This being the case
he could not, of course, if nominated be
elected by the real sentiment of Alaska.
U either or both of these unlooketl for
events should come to pass, the phe
nomenon would represent the work of
the corporations and nothing more.
The ever and rapidly growing num
ber of eager candidates for the delegate
ship would seem to indicate no dearth
of statesmen in Alaska. And yet some
people say we are not capable of taking
care of ourselves politically. Perhaps
these would-be delegates that swarm
from everywhere would take care of
us.

Any urinary trouble tells of kidney ills.
Doan's Kidney Tills cure all kidney
ills.
J. W. Strong, a retired veteran of ">O0
Ohio Street Bellingbam. Wash,, says:
"Up to three years ago 1 had never
suffered anv form of kidney complaint.
After that time I moved up the Colum
bia river to Whatcom Lake, and three
months after locating there I began to
notice symptons of kidney trouble. The
first was a dull aching pain across the
back, and which finally got so bai that
I was unable to get out of the house at
all. Changes of position were accom
panied with severe twinges of piiu and
the kidnev secretions were dark in
color and contained a heavy sediment,
and passing was accompanied with
pain. I think all this trouble was
brought on by ririnkin impure water
while at Whatcom lake. However true
that inav be, [ procured a box of Doan's
Kidney Puis took them according to
directions, and was completley cured of
my troubles. About a month ago I had
a severe attack of the grip and was
afrsid this would bring on kidney
trouble again, but there has been no
symptom of a recurrence. I am satisfi
ed that the cure is permanent."
