A QUESTION OF EXPERIENCE
For the purpose of discrediting: the
candidacy of Thomas Cale, whom they
recognize as the strongest candidate to
day before the Alaskan people for the
long term delegateship, the minions of
the corporations are hurling the words
"inexperience" and "incompetence" at
his head. Some of them "point with
pride" at the "glorious" public services
of "Judge" Mellen and others do like
wise to those of "Judge" Murane.
Well, let us examine the records ami
compare. Thomas Cale was a member
of the board ot supervisors of Fond du
Lac county, Wisconsin, for three terms,
sheriff of Fond du Lac county for two
terms and clerk of the court of Fond du
Lac county for one term. To all of
these o&ices he was chosen by the
'people of his county (population 50,000. )
"Judge" Mellen has been United States
court commissioner at Juneau (popu
lation, then, 1,000), and "Judge" Mul
rane has been police judge for the town
of Nome, population, 2,500). Both of
the "judges" (the justice of the peace
and the police judge) received their
offices by appointment.
The balance in this "experience"
record weighs heavily on the side of
Mr. Cale.
HAVE A CARE FOR ROORACKS
To the voters the Daily Alaskan de
sires to utter a word of caution in time:
Do not permit yourselves to be stampe
ded from the man of your choice for
delegate to congress by a roorback pro
mulgated at the 11th hour. The anti
self-government corporations, the mon
archists and tories from one end of
Alaska to the other are doing all with
in their power to defeat Gov. Swineford
and Thomas Cale. It would be no un
usual or strange thing if the country
were ftoodeJ with all manner of false
charged against these candidates late
this week or early next? too late to
permit of their denial. If there were
charges that could be made against the
candidates that would stand the light of
day they would have been set forth
lcng ago.
It has leaked out from the headquar
ters of the partisan candidates that the
edict was sent out early in the
campaign by the would-be- governing
corporations that they would throw
their strength in the election nex1
week to whichever of the party candi
dates that could make the best showing
of strength. Since that time the man
agers of the candidacies of "Judge"
Mellen ani "Judge" Murane have been
falling over each others in their efforts
to "show" the monarchists. It is said
that the Mellen following have beeD
successful in that effort. Whether that
is true or nor is immaterial. The point
is that THE ONLY SAFE THING FOR
THE ELECTOR TO DO IS TO VOTE
FOR GOV. SWINEFORD AND TOM
CALE. WE KNOW WHERE THEY
STAND. THE TORIES AND SELF
SEEKING CORPORATIONS ARE
MAKING NO TENDERS TO THEM.
The platform upon which "Judgs"
Murine is running for delegate to con
gress declares for a law making com
mission to be "appointed" or elected?
which means, of course, "appointed" ?
therefore, a vote for Mnrane is a vote
against self-government. A vote for
"Judge" Mellen is a vote tor the man
for whom every effort is being made to
line up those great anti-territorial gov
eminent corporations which recently I
induced J. M. Shoup to change his mind
on the question of territorial govern
ment. A vote for Thomas Cale is a vote
for a man who stands squarely upon a
full, frank and straight demand for
self-government and for a man who is
competent, free and determined to
serve the people.
It really looks as though "Judge"
Mellen were the man who has been
selected by the anti-territorial govern
ment forces as the strongest candidate
against the unapproachable Thomas
Cale.
Vote for A. P. Swineford and a repub
lican foirn of government for the short
term.
One must not take It for granted just
because the prefix "juds;e" Is a ways I
added as a handle to the names of the
"partisan'- candidates for delegate to
congress for the long; term that either
of them has ever been connected with
a supreme court or had widejexperience
otherwise as a jurist. Like as is often
the case with clientless lawyers each of
them has served a term or so as '"judge"
of an inferior court. "Judge" Mellen
was a justice of the peace and "Judge"
Murane a police judge.

WASHING WITHOUT WATER
<9 Like Trylnjc to Get Rid of Dandruff
Without Herpicide.
Did you ever see any one trying to
wash themselves without soap or
water?
If you did what would you say of
him?
It Is every bit as foolish to try to set
rid of Dandruff and to prevent Bald
ness by feeding the germs which causo
It. with Canthrarides. Vaseline. Glycer
ine and similar substances which form
the principal Ingredients of most so
called Hair Vigors.
Xewbro's Herpicide is successful be
;ause It attacks and kills the paraslti?
germ which feeds on the hiir roots.
It Is the original and only genuine
?<%alp germicide manufactured.
