THE ELECTION
The people of Alaska spoke Tuesday
on the issues that confront them and
their voice was against toryism in all
its phases. The result of the election
Is an emphatic and positive demand for
territorial government for this district.
It is a rebuke to those who oppose the
application of American principles of
government to Alaska and to shifty,
straddling and evasive politicans who
seek to play with issues as a shrewed
chess player uses his pawns and pieces.
It was an approval of open and above
board politics and the rule of the masses
as against control by a small gang
of corporation serving sycophants, hav
ing possession of wires which lead to
connections in high places. It meaDS
the transfer of Alaskan government
from back offices and Washington lob
bies to the Alaskan people.
And this expression comes from all
sections of Alaska. That is the best of
it. Even Juneau went on record by
overwhelming odds for territorial gov
ernment. No other interpretation can
be placed upon the vote for Got. Swine
ford, Frank Waskey and Thomas Cale:
and, be it said to their everlasting
credit, that is the issue upon which the
supporters of H. W. Mellen appealed to
the voting masses of Juneau, Douglas
and Treadwell and upon which they
locked horns with the supporters of C.
D. Murane.
This is written without waiting
for returns from the second
judicial district) but at Nome all the
parties are for self-government. But
even were in not so there is little rea
son to doubt that the returns from there
will show that Frank Waskey and
Thomas Cale and their demand for the
immediate granting of territorial gov
ernment to Alaska were prime favorites
at the polls on Seward peninsula
The people of Skagway and Haines
paid a tribute to Gov. Swineford, Tues
day that is creditable to them in every
way. Out of 341 votes polled in the two
places, 30$ were cast for the venerable
champion of the people in their battle
for self-government, leaving 33 votes
for his two competitors to divide be
tween them.
At least Gov. Swineford carried his
home section of Alaska. He received
the votes of those who knew him best.
That is more than some of the other
candidates did.
That was quite a flood which came
down upon Hellenthal and Marquam at
Fairbanks, Tuesday.
Alaska has spoken for sell-govern
ment io jjreat earnest.
