GOVERNOR H0E6IIT MUST EM
The Poat-lntelllgencer of the 15th
inat. discussing the result of the elect
ion in Alaska has this to say:
"The fact that the opposition to home
rule in Alaska was coo fined entirely to
the biff corporations which have invest
ments in the territory, and to Gov. Hog
gatt, who, as a representative of out
side investors, reflects their views, is
abnndantly demonstrated in the elect
ion returns so far as they bare been
received.
"The only precincts which have re
turned a majority for Corson, the Hog
gatt nominee, are Treadweli, where
greatest mine in Alaska is being oper
ated, and where the only qualified vot
ers are the Higher officers and office
employes of the big corporation which
owns the town and the mine, and the
Guggenheim town of Cordova.
In this latter town, the terminus of a
railroad now under construction, a town
which a few months ago had but a
handful of inhabitants, there were 925
votes cast, TOO of them being for Cor
son, the Hoggatt condijate. The lab-j
orers employed upon the construction
of the Guggenheim romij cue great ma
jority ot whom were shipped into the
camp from Seattle this summer, were
Brought into towu and voieil solidly for
the corporation interests. The federal
laws provide that no one can vote in
Alaska wbc has not been a bona fide
resident of the territory for a year.
"Here are the nnmUtakable indica
tion of a deliberate fraud practiced in
the corporatiou interest, in order to de
feat the will of tbo people, and to show
an indorsement of the Hoggatt policy of
government from the quarterdeck in
stead of b\ the people.
"The matter, it is reported from Val
dez, will probably be brought before
the attention o! the courts. Gov. Hog
gatt should be called upon by the pres
ident to n ake an explanation and to
clear his skirts of any responsibility for
the action taken by the corporation
manager* in tho interest of himself and
what he represents."
60V. SWINEFOBD IN THE CAMPAIGN
The Skagway Alaskan w hich has al
along until quite recently, been an In
strument of one string, playing the]
tune of popular home government for
Alaska, is now sounding the gamut of a
which though rather monotonous,
must be pleasing music to those whom
it designates as "Hoggatt and his
gang," in that it sings the praise of a
candidate for congress whose position
so near'y accords with theirs.? Ketch
ikan Miner.
The music which the Alaskan con
tributed to the campaign was as pleas
ing to the Hoggatt-Corson combine as
was the election returns. For instance,
what joy it must have given to this
unholv alliance to read of a majority
for Wickersham over Corson of 137 out
of a total vote of 203 in Skagway.
The manner in which Governor
Swineford floundered through the cam
paign just closed, without compass or
dead reckoning, candidate or platform,
logic or reason, forsaking the standard
he carried so well these many years,
expressly assenting to the district
being victimized and yet, while fawn
ing upon the instigator of the shell
game, roasting the best efforts of hlt>
blundering and ridiculous bunco ?toer
ers, has been ono of the painful spro
tacles of the curious affair? painful
txoause of the respect in which Gov.
Swlneford has hitherto been held by
the men of all parties.
THE JO* if THE WILDERNESS
"Then again," the unnatural gaiety
of this somber north country is added
to by the Record's own account of that 1
Valentine telegram joke appearing In
a copy of that amusing journal just at
hand. It appears from th.s account that
when "the night came down on the
ere of the election, agents of Emery
Valentino crept out Into the gloom and 1
plastered the town with a facsimile
of what Is alleged to have been a tele
gram received by Valentino from
Wlckersham, stating Wlckersham
favored Juneau as the capital. This
page believes no such telegram wus
ever received and it challenges Emery
Valentine to exhibit, in his front win
dow, a copy of that telegram and in ad
vance, in case Mr. Valentine says that
he has lost the original, this page asks
tbat he go to the cable ottice and got a
copy of the original, which he can ob
tain by the asking, and exhibit in the
window instead of the original, if it
cannot be produced. This page awaits
the display of the same in Mr. Valen
tino's window, but it is well known it
will not be seen."
Now if a FACSIMILE of a telegram
is plastered all over the town af J unoau
in the awful silences of the night to be
revealed to the startled townsfolk
when the sun shall arise in the east,
what is the use of Mayor Valentine
displaying such facsimile again in ltis
window? 'Then again" if the whole
town was plastered with the facsimile
of a telegram RECEIVED by Mayor
Valentine, aad the facsimile is on a
SENDING blank, wouldn't you think a
man would get a headacho in working
up the case against the mayor in only,
three days?
If the Juneau Record dont look out it
will be working up a vast circulation.
No other paper published up this way
is so eagerly hunted out of tho mass
by the exchange editors. The comic
supplements have lost Interest siuce
Juneau's boy sleuth got to work again.
DOES HE OR DOESN'T HE?
In the first spasm of chagrin after
reading the election returns, the Ju
neau Record Hew into a pasiion and de
clared It believed in paying its enemks
in kind and that it Intended to pursue
and punish John J. Heid, John
Maloney, and Mayor Emory Valentine
for having had the audacity to advise
Judge Wlckershain to becotno a candi
date for delegate. Then on ; August 13
that paper begins a long editorial by
saying:
"The election is over and this page
looks ut the selection of James Wlck
ersham as a misfortune, but harbors
uo resentment against those who aided
in bringing it about."
Perhaps if we could turn the boy
Sleuth loose on this ease he might suc
ceed, If we give him fftne enough, In
discovering where the Record Is at in
this matter.
"When the darkness of tho night
came down on the eve of the election
then agents of Emery Valetitine crept
out into the gloom."? From "The Bo>
Sleuth."

Many Aluska people take their lives
in their hands by neglecting the kid

ble for a vast amount of suffering and
ill health, but there is no need to suf
fer nor to remain in danger when all

weak kidueysctti be quickly and per
manently curcd by the use of Dean's
Kidney Pills.
P. Lammeh. 121 North Terry Ave.
Soattle, Wash., says: "It is now three
years since I gave a testimonial recom
mending Doan's Kidney Pills after the
prompt and satisfactory manuer in
which this remedy had relioved me of
kidney trouble which had affected me
off and on for a nnmber of years. Just
prior tn using Doan's Kidney Pil'8, my
suffering had become more severe, ?nd
one day I wm taken suddenly with at
tacks of sharp painN through my loins
and bladder. I sent for a doctor who
finally used a catheter. This gave mo
grust relief at the time but still I had
trouble afterwards with Irritation of
the bladder and with the disordered
action of iny kidneys. 1 bevan using
Doan's Kidney Pills and they acted
very promptly and d 'rectly on the parts
affected, so ihat the bladder trouble dis
appeared and in other way I found gieat
realief. This was several years ago but
still I am a hearty advocate of Doan's
Kldr-ey Piila and rcco.nmend them to
all sufi -rets fiorn Kidney troullr."
