t ?METHXNO TO ANSWER
Those who deny that the Alaskan
convention, recently ht'd in Seattle,
had anything to do with the granting
of a delegate in congress to Alaska
should be required to explain a few
things. >.
Last summer, after Speaker Cannon,
the most powerful influence in Ameri
can legislative matters at the present
time:. Representative Tawney, the real
floor leader of the majority in the home
of representatives; Senator Hemenway,
Senator Piles and other members of
the national legislature had visited
Alaska, it was positively announoed by
the speaker, Mr. Tawney and others,
that Alaska would not have territorial
government nor an elective delegate in
congress. They said that, in effect,
before they left Alaska.
Before congress met, the people of
Alaska held a convention which, heed
less of the speaker's edict, demanded
self-government and elective represen
tation. Gov. Swineford, one of the
foremost leaders in the movement for |
territorial government, was sent, with
others, to Washington to urge the de
mands of that convention upon con
gress. The Washington state delega
tion in congress appeared before that
convention and pledged it its loyal sup
port, and it made good, standing
sponsor at the national capital for the
delegates from It.
The session of ccngress was hardly
under way before there was a change
in the sentiment at Washington. The
bill giving a delegate in congress
was passe* J. It wa* granted by the
speaker as a compromise.
Now, what brought about the change,
aad who? Was it brought about by
those who refused to accept the edict
of the speaker, which was hailed with
so much glee by the Transcript and
other torie9, and who appealed from it
to the congress, or by the yaps who did
naught but sit upon their haunches and
snap and snarl and howl in dirision at
those who tried to help themselves and
their country ?
The question of territorial govern
ment will not be an issue in the coming
election for a delegate in congres ac
cording to the Junean Transcript.
Then it groans if the people of Alaska
favor the proposition H must be shown.
Well, the election will be held next
August. That ts not far off. But is
the Transcript sure it can see and un
derstand when shown?

What I did do was unaer great strain
and misery. When, owing to a weak,
iami and aching back, you are unable
to sit, stand or lie when dizzy spells are
common and you are annoyed with
headache, you naturally think a good
deal of the means at last emp!c>\>d
which gave relief. I used Doati's K'd

directions and I found more relief from
them than from ali other remedies I
ever took put together. When Ju con
