A CONVENTION OF PROXIES
It looks as though the republican
convection to be called at Juneau,
on Saturday, was to be largely a matter
of proxies, save for the southeastern
section. An effort is to be made even
at that, to have the convention post
poned to permit of the arrival of more
proxies. Judge G. D. Murane, of Nome
is reported to carry in his vest fiocket
proxies. With his own vote, this
means fifty for Murane, for the dele
gateship. It is estimated that the tlfty
delegates from Southeastern Alaska
will attend.
The ranana, so far as heard frotn, is
not to recognize the convention even to
the extent of sending proxies unless
some one of the candidates from the
other sections has had the enterprise
to secure them, for the republicans of
that section have not sent one of their
own number to the convention. In any
case it will seem to be a matter of im
portance that sufficient time be granted
for at least the assembling of the prox
ies if it is to coine true that the con
vention is to be the scene of a "lively
contest. "
Marshal Shoup will no doubt control
the great majority of the votas from the
Southeastern delegation. These how
ever will be present in person. The
votes of the other sections there repre
sented will be present only in the
pockets of the candidates themselves.
If it is true that Judge Murane is
carrying fifty of these forjudge Murane
the difference will be at once apparent
The proxy vote of this character may
be depended upon to be absolutely solid
at all times. The first district and the
second district have each fifty votes.
If Judge Murane has fifty votes it is a
little difficult to see where Mr. L>yan,
who was supposed to hold the Nome
delegation in the hollow of his hand, is
to get off, or get on. And certainly,
under these conditions, all the proxies
possible should be there before the pro
ceedings begin? if the shos- is to offer
any entertainment whatever. How
ever, there is no need of our becoming
impatient in this regard for it is but a
day or so until the convention
has to show will lay itself bare^ and wd
will know the real value of the price of
admission.
Io the meantime it is just as well that
the sober thought and intelligent pur
pose of the voters of the entire district
should get together and prepare to
unite on former Governor Swineford.
Alaska's tirst governor to make him
Alaska's first representative to Wash
ington. Governor Swineford has no
axes to grind for his personal behoof.
He has the patriotic ambition to ad
vance the district uoon its course
toward a tangable political entity
whereby she may have the privilege of
managing her own affairs. Governor
Swineford, if elected, wou'd, better
than any man who has been mentioned
with regard to the office, know just
what to do and how to do it and would
leave a legacy to his successor of this
work well be^un if not accomplished,
and could start him on his course u^der
the best auspices. In all the di vision of
the voting that will occur incident to
local feeling and the multiplicity of
candidates the chances of Governor
Swineford's election grow dailv
brighter.
Tbe vote of the Tanana district will
be interesting to note after the election.
Thomas Cale was nominated by a con
vention of miners and endorsed by re
publicans and democrats. He should
get practically every vote cast therefor
the Ions term. If he does not? if the
vote i,'o?s to some outsider it will be
clearly the work of the corporations.
HERB ROBERTSON
1$ A BENEDICT
"Herb" E. A. Robertson, a former
well known Dawson barrister, and Miss
Tobin, sister ot Henry Tobin, Dawson
barrister, were married in Victoria
yesterday . Mr. Robertson has practic
ed law In Dawson for several years.
Miss Tobin visited Dawson one winter
*nd the wedding is the result.
! JOE CLARK HI IS
I THE COURT CLERK
Joseph Andrew Clarke, barrister,
was lined $10 and costs, total $15, in the
police court, at Dawson a few days ago
by Judge Dugas, for striking Haroid G.
Blankman, clerk of the police court.
It seems that while Clark was engaged
in a game of billiards in the M & N
billiard hall the night before 13!ankinan
walked between him and the table and
jostled the barrister, some hot words
passed and Clark struck out.
Clarke maintained that Hlaukman
could have stepped behind him, but
chose to go through a uarrow s ace of
18 to 20 inches between himself and the
ta'>U, and so doing stepped on his foot
and jostled him and provoked him to
strike.
RUnkman's face was in evidence of
something having happened to it. Drs
Cut to and Thompson testified that (he
blow had caused an ugly wound. The
lower lip was cut through to the inside,
and it was necessary for three stitches
to be taken. Whether the jaw is in
jured or not is not possible to fully de
termine, just now.

DOM EXPERIMENT
You Will Maki No MUtake If Yon
Follow This Mau n Advice
Never neglect your kidoevs,
If you have pair, in the back, urinary
disorders, dizziness and cervousijess,
it's time to act and no time to experi
ment. These aie all svmptoms of kid
ney trouble, and you should seek a re
medy which is known to cure the kid
neys.
Doan's Kidney 1'ills is the remedy to
use. It has cured many stubborn cases.
No need to experiment.
A. M. Buck, a painter, living corner
of Ninth and Maple Streets, North
Vakima, Wash., says: "I cannot speak
too highly of Uiat wonderful remedy,
Doan's Kidney Pills. My experience
with kidney trouble dates back to the
early p?rt of the year. 1814, when I had
a eiege of the grip, which left my kid
neys in a very disordered condition.
I doctored a great deal and took treat
ment from ore of the leading physicians
of St. Paul, Minn., for three months,
but only received a temporary relief.
The pain was in the small of my back
and was so bad I could not stoop or
straighten up without torture. After
coming out here the complaint still
clung to until a friend advised me to try
Dohu's Kidney Pills. I did not p<y
much attention to his advice at the
time because I had used so many things
that I had about lost faith in medicines,
but when I saw them advertised last
summer, as I was badly in need of some
thing to relieve the pain, 1 tried a box.
It gave me so much relief that I bought
more ana continued until I took five
boxes. They certainly did me an im
mense amount of good, and 1 have ijo
hesitation in recommending them to
anyone suffering from any ailment per
tain ng to the kidneys."
