APPORTIONMENT IS NOT FAIR
Republicans complain that delegates are not properly
distributed--?Herron took too many for Candle and
overlooked other places? Non partisan action may
result from bad feeling
(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.):
Seattle, May 26.? AlaskAns who arej
in this city and about ready to leave ?
for the north are greatly displeased
with the republican apportionment.!
Among other things they say tbatj
Candle .'s not entitled to five delegates.
They say that other towns, larger and
of more importance than Candle, have |
been given no representation at all. 1
It is believed that the result of the re
publican committee meeting \rill be a
general demand for a non-partisan con
vention.
SKAGtVAY SUFfCRS
FROM DlSCiiiVllVATIOM
Complaint is being made from var
ious portions ot Alaska because of the
apportionment of delegates made at the
meeting of the republican committee
at Juneau the other day for the con
vention that has been called for July
14. The Fairbanks News wires out ,
that the people of that town will ignore I
the apportionment and the convention.
A scrutiny of the apportionment in I
dicates that the people of Skagway and i
Haines have cause to complain of un- 1
fairness in the distribution as hare
those from other towns which have pro- 1
tested.
For instance Juneau is given 10 de'e
gates and Skagway 5 According to
the last census, taken a year ago, Skag
way's population was about 75 per cent
as great as was that of Juneau. The
vote cast at the recent municipal elec
tion shows a similar ratio in the popu
lation of tde two places, a ? does the
school enrollment.
Ketchikan, which cast fewer votes
at the municipal election of last month
than Skagwsy, which has a smaller
sohool enrollment and which at the
time of the taking of the last census
was much smaller than this place, has
one more delegate than Skagway. So
with Valdez. They cast fewer votes
there and have a much smaller town
than Skagway, ant are given a larger
delegation in the convention.
Haines has bejn treated similarly.
Tnat towD, including the Porcupine
country, Chilkitb and Chilkoot are
given one delegate. Silver Bow Basin,
at Juneau's back door, is given two
delegates. No allowance nas been
made at alt for the peoole between
S >agway and White Pass at the var
ious railroad stations.
Carry this favoritism further. Doug
las, which had a larger papulation that
Juneau according tc the census taken
a year ago, is given 5 delegates to
Junean's 10.
Fairbanks, which by every test Is 50
per cent lsrger than Juneau has been
allowed 10 delegates, the same as Ju
neau, and Chena, an incorporated town
pasting 150 votes,. gets one delegate.

NO FIGHT
Nelson-Hmera Affair a
Fiasco
(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.)
Los Angeles, May 26.? The Nelson
Herrera alTuir resulted iD a fiasco.
When tbe time to weigh in arrived it
was discovert d that the scales were 15
pounds off. Herrera refused to weigh
in. The crowd waited impatiently,
complaining much of tbe time, until
10 o'clock, when the scales were re
moved. Nelson then came into the
ring and told the crowd that he wanted
it known that ho was ready to fight
the Mexican, though the latter weigh
ed 140 pounds, without weighing. Her
rera refused, however, saying the
articles of the contest had been violat
ed when the weighing did not take
place at 6 o'clock. When the fight
was declared off the crowd hooted and
hissed Herrera. The gate mon ey was
refunded.

OPPOSITION TO PARTISAN
CONTEST EVERYWHERE
Word coming from all portions of
Alaska indicate that the people have
no patience with the attempt to intro
duce party politics into the coming
political campaign in Alaska. That is
the attitude of th( people of Fairbanks,
Juneau, Seward, Ketchikan and else
where as well as Skagway.
Leading Juneauites who were in
Skagwny last night, and who are here
today, gay there is not a score of people
in that town who favor partisan pol
tics
At Ketchikan, Hadley, Coppermount,
Sulzer and other points in the southern
end of Southeastern Alaska petitions
are being circulated endorsing the non
partisan candidacy of Gov. Swineford.
They were being generally signed. At
Ketchikan, those who circulated the
Swineford petition say that at the time
they had secured 150 names to it only
11 people in the town were believed to
be opposed to the candidacy of their
foremost citizen.
Under date of May 24 the Fairbanks
News sent the following telegram from
its town:
"There will be no party lines drawn
in the Tan&na. We will hold a general '
convention. The republic in apportion
ment from Juneau will be ignored.
"FAIRBANKS NEWS."
Here is the way the Seward Gateway
puts the situation:
"The fairest way to settle this Alas
ka delegate business is to leave the
bars down and let everybody run as in
a primary election. The territory will
at least stand as good a chance of get
ting a first-class representative in that
way as through a nomin?ting conven
tion and the result will be free from
the bitterness and recriminations
which always follows a convention in
which numerous factions and local
jealousy are the chief factors. * *
"In this Alaska delegate contest the
time is is so short that a candidate
might as well be chosen by shaking
dice as in a convention. * * #
"Just drop this nrmination jobbery
and give the territory a square deal.''
The Juneau Dispatch of Thursday
says:
"For reasons best known to those
who h*ve witnessed the bitterness of
political strife comes the appeal for a
contest which wil keep politics out of
Alaska. The mere fact that a man
may go to Washington tagged wtth a
political brand is no sign that he can
accomplish wonders. The adminis
iratiun needs no assistance but all of
Alaska needs ?ise .egislation."
