rOK DELEGATES FROM ALASKA
Short T?rm
A. P. SWINEFORD
Long r?m
THOMAS CA.LS.
SWINEFORD OR WASKET ?
The only competitor of Got. Swine
ford in the campaign now in progress
whose strength is sufficient to make it
at all troublesome is that of Frank H.
Waskey, ot Nome. This makes a com
parison of these men pertinent.
Mr. Waskey is a young man? about
31 years Of age ? admittedly honest and
possessing considerable ability. He is
also admittedly inexperienced. He is
unacquainted with conditions in Alaska
outside his section and is making no
tour of the district. Should he be
elected he would be called upon to hike
off for Washington with all his youth
ar.d inexperience uniformed further
than they are at the present time to
take up his work on the first of next
December.
On the other hand Got. Swineford is
full of years, experience, wisdom and
honors. He knows Alaska from end to
end. He is familiar with its people,
their needs and aspirations. He has
spent two decades of a strenuous life in
laooring for it and them. He knotfs
and is kfcown of Washington. He would
go there better prepared for the work
of the next congress than it would be
possible for any other man in the dis
trict to go, and he would be working
among and with friends and ac^uaint
ences. His honesty and abilities are 100
per cent pure.
Both Got. Swineford and Mr. Waskey
stand for the same principles. Both
faTor self-gOTernment, both are genuine
Alaskans. But the one has age,
knowledge and experience, the other
youth, lack of information, inex
perience and no time before the be
ginning of the short session of congress
to gain either.
Let us serve Alaska in honoring Gov.
Swineford. Mr. Waskey can wait.

An advertisement in a Juneau paper
says a vote for Murane is a vote for
Roosevelt. That is about the
richest piece of humor that had yet
been injected into the campaign.
In the name of all that is
reasonable will some one explain the
connection between President Roose- j
velt and the present election in Alaska?
There is far more reason to say that a
vote for Gov. Swineford is a vote for
Washington, Adams, Jefferson, the
Declaration of Independence, the Con
stitution and the American republic
than to say that a vote for Murane is
a vote for Roosenvelt. There would be
some truth io this, some foundation in
fact for it. In the Juneau case there
is absolutely nothing- but foolishness.
Walter Coutant's Juneau paper is
supporting H. W. Mellen, the so-call
ed democratic nominee for delegate to
congress, and his Ketchikan paper is
advocating the election of C. D. Mu
rane. the so-called republican nom
inee. It is too bad that Mr. Coutant
has not a sufficient number of papers to
go round. If he could have about two
more guesses he probably could pick
out the winner.
Some of the friends of James M.
Shoup said the Daily Alaskan was not
justified when it accused him of switch
ing from the advocacy of American
principles of government to toryism
about two months ago, Mr. Shoup
answered these critics, a week ugo at
Juneau, in his Murane speech when he
showed how completely he has bowed
the neck to the tory yoke.
The delegate to Washington for the
short term will have no time to devote
to preparation for his work. He must
take his place in the harness next Dec
ember. Who ot the candidates is pre
pared to do that and give the people a
service that is worth while ? There
can be only one answer ? Gov. Swine
ford and him only.
The man elected to congress for the
long term a week from next Tuesday
will have tune to gain experience but
that will not be the case with him who
shall be chosen for tho short term.
Only in the election of Gov. Swxneford
I is there security for the people from
the "dangers of ignorance and inex
perence.
There is none in the district who can
successfully challenge the ''regularity"
of a republican or a democrat in the
district who casts his vote for Gov.
Swineford or Thomas Oale. Both
candidates received nominations more
represrntative of either party than did
any of their opponents.
DAWSON WILL
