HOGGATTS EXTREMITY
I'ew he Played t he 0*b* at Ketch
ikan to Prove his Contention
that the PeoPla are not Rip* and
What h? Really Proved.
The atorv of how the split occurred '
In the republican convention as
brought to the city by Chauncey Boyer,
delegate from the inside, throws new
light on the subject and adds nothing
to the cr?dit of "the Hoggatts? "as
they were dubbed? in the tr msaction.
Under the guise of a harmony play,
well 'jndeistood for what it really was by
those who proposed it, a doggatt man
made was temporary? and afterwards
permanent? chairman. This chair
man, in his first ruliog, limited the
voting in tho further preliminaries, to
the men on the floor? one vote each?
and thus at occo put the Cale men out
of business, as it was designed to do.
The Juneau contingent and the Ketchi
kan contingent were the "men on the
floor"? that is to say they had the
numbers because they lived there or
near by. Fairbanks and Nome on
the contrary, the long stretch o!
coast to the westward, were repre
xected bv solitary individuals, of
course, because of the great distance
to be traveled. These came beariDg
proxies. Boyer carried 28 and Perk
ins 31. Practically all the rest of the
country save Juneau and Ketchikpn,
were for Cale and against Hoggatt.
But they were necessarily represented
by proxies, as stated? for the most
part uncontested proxies. But Juneau
and Ketchikan, practically at home,
bith with selfish interests moving
them to support Hoggatt, were there
with men in the flesh, with loud
voiccs and strong arms, teadr upon
notice to eject any who might oppose
them in their settled purpose of putting
ui> an appearance before Washington
that the peop'e of A'uska assembled
in convention favored the governor. It
is a most important thing to the gov
ernor acd he has gone the full length
in attempting to carry it through. Ha
knows tbat he and the people are not
ia sympathy, that they are working
to different ends; have nothing in
common. Ha trid the piesldent that
the people were not ripe for aelf-gov"
ernmeut and ho (eels that it id up to
him to prove it: fce would bave the
president and congress believe that the
people are with him. He mide state
ments with regard to the c-ndidates
for the postmastersbip of three widely
sepera'o towns, that, upon a poll of the
residents of two of those towns being
taken, acd investigation by the presi
dent's special agent, were shown
to be wholly at variance with the facts
He is in rxtrrmity lest all the prestige
ot hid office be gone. He must make
an appearance at the convention. So he
employed the patronage of his office in
his home town of Juneau and at Ketch
it an to job the rest of the district and
give him this that he needed so greatly.
The men representing all the vast
country save Juneau and Ketca'.kan
wore literacy disfranchised in the repub
lican convention. Proxies were secured
by telegraph from fake conventions and
placed in the hands of commercial tra
velers and others who were not citizens
of ihe district and these were allowed
to vote? for Hoggatt. With this show
ing of unanimity he is now presenting
himself before il. national committee
?t Cu e WO a->ki r to tw recognizrd as
the re^ 'I "" republican organiza'.iou of
Alaska. His claim is as just ** bis rep
resentations on the postmastershlps
were true.
If this mongrel crowd that endorsed
an anti-'erritorial governor in the same
platform that callcd for territorial gov
ernment; that nominated for congress
with theso votes of an anti-territorial
gove>aor a candidate who bases his
claim to the suffrages of the people
upon bis clamor for territorial govern
ment?if this mongrel crowd is repre
sentative of the capacity of the people
of Alaska for self-governmert, tben in
deed, U may be said with truth they are
not ripe. But the fact Is the work
of this convention represents only
the machinations of a federal ap
pointee clothed with some power, whose
measure has been taken by the people
of Alaska who will, at the polls, re
pudiate him so entirely that he will
serve as the best object lesson yet of
fered of the capacity of the people to
think and feci and act in their own be
half.
1 BOYCOTT ON NEWS KILLS THE NEWS
The German press recently carried
the principle of the boycott into the
field of news, giving the world its firs'
illustration of how the thing might be
done. It is a question whether it could
be done in this country with its various
interests and vast numbers and expanse
but the German press made it stick
stick to a standstill. One of the mem
bers of the reichstag refered to tho re
porters as "piggish louts." The re
porters promptly went on strike until
au apology might be forthcoming. The
American Press describes the effect as
follows:
The reporters demanded an apology
and will probably have got it bsfore
this reaches our readers. At this writ
log it appears ib&t the tongue of elo
quence is silent iu the German parlia
ment. No more does the ornate ora
tion of careful preparation or the im
passioned impromptu remark echo
through tho hills of legislation to be
caught up and re-echoed by the friend
ly press to the remotest province of the
expire, for it appears that the German
statesman, like his counterpart in this
country, addresses his remarks princi
pally to bis constituents back in Bun
combe county, Even tliC great Von
Bulow, who was to have spoken Mon
day, decided to wait until the trouble
should have been settled.
The strike of the reporters seems to
be effective. Near y every newspaper
in Germany has sided with them. The
foreign news agencies and papers In
Austria, Italy, London and St. Peters
burg promply cume lo their support.
Not a word has been s at out since the
strike began except the reports of the
oftlcial news agencies, which the editors
have regularly thrown into the waste
baslcets.
Singularly euough, the trouble arose
over the negro, Herr Groeber, leader
of the Ceotrisu, imagining that he
heard the statement that "negroes have
immortal souls," made by one of his
paity, jeered In the prcsi gallary. So
the Germans have troubles of their own
with the race problem.
German statesmen will probably have
more respect for the press in the future
than they have had ia the past? at least
the type represented by Herr Groeber.
THE LAND 600 FORGOT
The lonely sunscWflare forlorn
Down valleys dreadly desolate;
The lordly mountains soar In scorn
As still as death, a* stern as fate.
?
The lonely sunsets flame and die:
Tho giant valleys gulp the night;
The monster mountains scrape the sky,
Where eager stars are diamond*
bright.
So Haunt against the gibbous moon,
Piercing tho silence velvet-piled,
A lone wolf howls his ancient rune?
The fell arch-spirit of tho Wild.
O outcast land ! O leper land !
Let the lone wolf-cry all express
The hate insensate of . thy hand,
Thy heart's abyssmal loneliness.
?Robert W. Service.
