NO FARCES IN THIS
The Seattle Post-lntelilgencer of a
pre-convention date, quotes Dr. Cabett
Whitehead, of Nome, as follows:
"Partisan politics should have no part
to the affairs of Alaska. Any convention,
partisan or non-partisan, that under,
takes to represent all sections of Alaska
would be a mere farce, owing to the
conditions that exist in the northern
country. Delegates going from one
section of Alaska to another to attend a
convention \v?ul.l in great many instan
ces take up an entire season and the
men who can afford to spend their j
time in thie way are men that we do not j
want to represent us."

In this utterance Dr. Whitehead
prove* himself a prophet, for the con
vention held at Juneau were mere
farces. The republican convention was
made up of men from Southeastern
Alaska, proxies from Seward peninsula
and no representation from the interior.
The proxies, born of primaries admit
tedly irregular, controlled the nomi
nation. There were two sets of proxies
and both were irregular, and the com
mute on credentials was required to
decide between the two evils. The
irregularities had some justification in
"the short time in which to prepare for
such a convention." But the commit
tee and convention were "up against
it"to this extent, that if they threw out
both set* of proxies, with the fact
blazoned abroad that the interior was
not present either in person or proxy,
voters of Alaska would recognise
the work of the convention as an ex
pression of the desires of Southeastern
Alaska alone, while affecting to repre
sent "ail sections of Alaska." This
they knew would but rouse the iro of
other sections and defeat its own end.
To admit the proxies, irregular though
they were, was for some forty men to
bow to the will of fifty proxies. And
this they did.
As for the democratic convention it ?
while effecting to represent the whole
district of Alaska? was nothing more
than a gathering of Juneau men, 110
outsider beiug there even with proxies.
So Dr. Whitehead, in this
instance is quite right. The
conventions in that they affected to re
present all sections of Alaska, were
farcical.
The candidacy of former Governor
Swineford has no false assumption?,
pretenses or irregularities. Governor
Swineford is now touring the district
catting upon the people to vote "aye"
on the main question; "Shall we be al
lowed to govern ourselves here in
Alaska.?*'
One thing is made perfectly plain,
from the proceedings of the dsmocratic
convention on the 26th, and that is;
Southeastern Alaska is purposelv to be
mixed, and split, and turned politically
up-side-down and io-side-out to the
utmost extent, after all the efforts so
far to preserve unity. The democracy,
with its uniform assurances that no
partisanship should be allowed in this
election, an all its patriotic admonitions
to the republicans on that point, is to
be itself the prime agitator. All right,
gentlemen; you just keep right on, and
you wtH get what you are not looking
for, ? at least what you should hope at
the last calamity to befall this section
of the country.
This is from the Record-Miner of
Juneau of a date immediately following
the convention. Since which time the
Record-Miner has switched and is now
applauding the work of the convention
Attention is directed to this queer cir
cumstance not so much to reflect upon
the work of the convention as to wonder
at the queer circumstance itself.
