Alaska Should S nil Gov.
Swintford to Washington
Charles H, Co9grove, a leading law- .
yer of Ketcbikf o, writing to the Jour- 1
nal of that Dlace of the Alaskan con
vention recently held at Seattle and the i
duty of the people of southeastern
Alaska, says:
"The Alaska Convention is over and ,
three delegates have been elected to j
attend the coming session of Congress
and present the legislative needs of j
Alaska. Three delegates will gj in
structed and it is to be hoped that with
the removal of the objection of Con
gress heretofore raised 'that Alaskans
arc not united iu their desires' we may
obtain some consideration.
"The expenses of the repre-entatlves .
of the 2nd and 3rd divisions, have been
generously provided. by the respective
districts and it seems to me that the 1st
division ought to respond just as gee
eroiv-ly for the needs of Gov Swiucford
who has been eKc'.ed to go from South
eastern Alaska.
.'?This is our first opportunity to :>re- :
sent a united front at Washington and j
ourfht to be embraced.
"It may be that the idea of an Alas
kan Convention held at Seattle didn't
meet with our approval.
"It may be that the memorial of that
body to Congress doesn't suit us exactly
In detail.
'?It tnay be that the onvennon went
further than the call for the same
justified. Nevertheless the work has
been done and a decision reached in
harmony by men who ought to know
our needs, who have interests in Alaska
and who we may beiiere will consider
Alaska's best interests in their work at
the capital.
"Their efforts ought to be seconded
in the hope that if not all, at least;
some of the reforms desired may be
secured.
"Of the delegates elected no one is
more loyal to Alaska than Gov. Swiue
ford and none more is familiar with our
local history and legislative needs, and
it would be difficult to find a man who .
is better fitted to represent us.
"With Swineford on guard at Wash- !
inglou the needs and desire of South- j
eastern Alaska will be carefully cared
for and much good is bound to result
from his attendance as well ns the pres
ence of his colleagues, superseding as
they will, the self appointed delegates 1
from different parts of Alaska who have j
heretofore attended the sessions each
with an individual axe to grind.
"The expense of his trip will, when
divided pro rata among the towns of
Southeastern Alaska require but a
small assessment upon each community
and it seems to me that Ketchikan, his
home town, ought to set the pace. The
Brown Alaska Co. of Hadley has start
ed the ball with a donation of $200. It
will require but a few days to provide
more than our share.
"Now then. W range)!, Juneau, Doug
Us, Haines audSkagway, come forward
3o your part and we shall have a repre
sentative at Washington the coming
session of whose work we shall be
proud."
