FOR DELEGATES FROM ALASKA
Short Term
A. P. SWINEFORD
Long Term
THOMAS CALE
l'HE SITUATION
The Alaskan campaign has developed
to such an extent as to make it appear
safe to perJict the election of
Thomas Cale for the long term by a
very large plurality of the votes and to
make it plain that the contest for the
short Urm is between Gov. A. P.
Swineford and F. H. Waskey. It is
agreed by all who speak of the subject
that Mr. Cale will receive almost the
unanimous vote of the Tanana and Yu
kon valleys. That he will carry Nome J
by a lar?e margin his friends firmly be
lieve. He has the endorsement of the
forces that carried the recent municipal
election there, and it is said that the
strength of the labor forces on the
Peninsula creeks is greater than it is in
the city of Nome. In addition to the
union labor strength he has the en
dorsement of the democrats of the
Nome district. In Southeastern Alaska
he will get a big vote. Skagway will
no doubt give him a substantial maj
ority. He will poll heavily at Ketchi
kan, Juneau, Douglas, Haines and else
where.
Of course it is impossible at this dis
tance to tell to what extent the person
ality of C. O. Murane will out into this
line-up at Nome or how nearly the
strength of that personality will be off
set by the disaffection of the Bard-Rvan
following there, but that the contention
that the non-partisan candidate will
carry the second district is well founded
must be conceded.
While F. H. Waskey for the short
term has the same backing at Nome as
that which is behind Mr.Cale and while
the miners of Fairbanks have endorsed
him, it is admitted there is not the s tine
unanimity among his followers as is
the case with those of Mr. Cale. The
strength of Go?. Swineford's person
ality and the record of his loog fight in
behalf of the people is drawing support
from every section of the district. If
the people of Southeastern Alaska stand
loyally behiud him he will be elected.

MAKE SURE OF SWINEf ORD
It must be conceded by any fair mind
ed man that Got. Swineford is better
prepared to get results from the short '
session of congress next winter than
either of his opponents. He has a life
time exoerience in public matters and
an acquaintance with the members of
congress and the heads of the depart
ments that the others do not possess
and cannot acquire before the adjourn
ment of congress. He could go back to
Washington next winter and take up
the work where it was left off last |
winter. He has the warm friendship
and support of dozens of influential
members of the senate and the house, i
He ha* been before the committee on
territories time after time. He has the
work of that committee well In hand. '
It must also be conceded that there is
none of the other candidates sa well
prepared to get the long term candidate i
'?broken to harness" as is Gov. Swine- j
ford. The latter said in his speech of
acceptance at Skagway that it would
be his purpose if elected to introduce
the man chosen for the long term and |
to assist him in every way to become
acquainted with his work and those |
with whom he woutd have to work. 1
It is the sincere conviction of the ,
Daily Alaskan that the election of Gov. 1
Swineford for the short term is the
matter of first importance in the com- {
ing election. Make sure that his name <
is on your ballot regardless of the tick
et you vote.
The orators at the Murane meeting
at Juneau last week came out fairly
and squarely against territorial gov
ernment. That should shut Murane
out of the running with true Ameri
cans, notwithstanding that the latter
said, while in Skagway, that he is op"
posed to his platfoim and favors self
government.
Marshal Shoup seems to have staid
put when he changed from the advo
cacy of territorial government to tory
ism. He spoke in the course of his
speech at Juneau about the serious ex
pense of "territorial goverrment." In
his interviews, given frequently in the
cou.'se of the five or six years prior to
his recent conversion, he said territor
ial government, is inexpensive and that
Alaska is better prepared for it than
was most of the other territories,
when they were given it.
If Iowa democrates possess sufficient
common sense to deserve success they
will endorse Got. A. B. Cummins, of
Iowa, for the governorship and insure
his election. It is doubtful if they will
arise to the occasion.
The race between Murane and
Mollen for the booby prize is neck and
neck. Murane will probably land it.
Gov. Swineford is the only candidate
for delegate to congress from South
eastern Alaska that stands a ghost of
a chance for election.

THE REAL TEST
Of Herplrldr Iw In Giving; It a Thor
uugh Trial.
There is only one test by which to
Judge of the efficiency of any article
and that is by its ability to do th.it
which It Is interned to do. Many hair
vigor? may look nice and smell nice,
but the point is? do they eradicate Dan
Iruff and stop falling hair?
Xo, they do not. but Herpicido does,
(because it goes to the root of the evil
;nd kills the germ that attacks the
apilla from whence the hair gets its
ifc.
Letters from prominent people everv
here are daily proving that Xewbro's
ierplcide stands the "test of use."
It is a delightful dressing, clear, pure
