THOMAS CALE
ABOUT LABOR REPRESENTA
1'ION
A jfreat deal Is being said in behalf of
the candidacy of Frank H. Waskey, as
the representative of labor in the race
for Alaska's representative in congtess
for the shbrt term, but the need of
labor for specific representation of such
a nature is not made plain. To a well
organized brain it should be clear that
the cause of labor in Alaska can best
be served by securing for the people of
ttis district the right to make and ad
minister their own laws. If the people
had an Alaskan legislature in ?which
Alaskan labor, Alaskan mines, and
other Alaskan interests could be rep
resented there would be some chance
for the laboring men of the north to
accomplish results. The laboring men
and miners could send members to such
a legislature and they would have
power to do something for themselves.
There is no question but the matter
of first importance to the mining men
and laboring men of Alaska, as it is to
those engaged in developing the dis
trict in all its varied lines, is that of
self-government. It follows that the
man best qualified to secure that for
the district is best qualified to repre
sent the miners and laboring men as
well as to represent everybody else.
The Daily Alaskan accepts as true
the statements made a a to the qualifi
cations of Frank H. W askev, of Nome.
It will concede that he is an able, con
scientious, fearless citizen who is pat
riotically interested in Alaska's wel
fare and the cause of self-government.
But granting all that, it must be con
ceded that he lacks the experience, the
familiarity with conditions at the cap
ital the wide circle of friends and ac
quaintances possed by Gov. Swineford.
He is not prepared to serve those whom
he would represent so well as is Gov.
Swineford. It would be a kindness to
to those who are seeking the election
of Mr. Waskey if Gov. Swineford were
chosen over him.

Do not forget that "Judge" Mellen
gave out an interview at Seattle on the
issues of the campaign in Alaska in the
course of which he said not one word
on the question of self-government. Do
not forget that bid for tory support. It
is the patriotic duty of every Alaskan
to mark for good and all every men
who -shows a white feather in the
course of the fight for American rights
in this district.
Gov. Swineford has completed a tour
of Alaska, covering 7,000 miles in its
making. That is the best refutation
that could possibly be made of the
charge that he is too old to represent
this district at Washington.
Remember that it is your dutr to see
that your vote is cast for the good of
your country. It is a duty no man can
perform for you and no one can put off.
Your day to perform that duty will be
next Tuesday.
If you let your opportunity to speak
affectively on the issues that confront
Alaftka pass next Tuesday you will not
have another chance for two years.
The man who can but does not vote
next Tuesday, will have no right to
eomplain of anything. *
Do not forget to have the name of A.
P. Swineford on your ticket next Tues
day for the short term delegateship.
Vote : Vote : Vote : ! ! That is the
duty of the hour,
Mftka Sara of 3wln?ford
Regardless of the ticket you vote be
sure that the name of A. P. SWINE
FORD is on your ballot for the short
term. He stands for the application of
American principles of government to
Alaska and for the highest order of
integrity and capacity. Elect him and
make certain of intelligent and honest
representation at Washington for next
winter.

A Wonderful Compound Cures Pilos.
Eczema. Skin Itching. Skin
Eruptioni. Cut* and
Bruises
Dean's Ointment is the test skin
treatment, and the cheapest, because so
little is required to cure. It cures piles
after years of torture. It cures obsti
nate cases of eczema. It cures all skin
itching. It cures skin eruptions. It
heals cuts, bruises, scratches and abra
sions without leaving a scar. It cures
permanently.
M. Sullivan, employed in the street
department of the city, who resides on
Water street, at "'.to'. Portland Oreg.,
says. "Doan's Ointment is without
any exception the best preparation on
earth for the purposes for which its use |
is indicated and fiom my own experience I
I know that it does all fiat is claimed '
for it. For two years I was troubled j
with the worst kind of itching and |
bleeding hemorrhoids. I trietl one
remedy after another and even sent I
east for a well known medicine, and was
treated bj physicians, but I got no re
lief until I learned about Doan's Oint
ment. I procured a box anct the first
application gave me relief such a< 1 had
not eperienced for two years. I con
tinued the treatment for three weeks,
when I was completely cured, and since
then I have been free from the torment
ing affliction. Whenever i bear anyone
complain of being annoyed with piles I
never fail to tell thera what to do to get
cured. I would willingly give $20 for
a box rather than to suffer one night
like I did before 1 used Doan's Oint
ment."
For sale by all dealers. Trice 50 cents.
