Heretofore the Daily Alaskan, in
common with the people of Skagway,
has given more attention to the ques
tion as to who shall be chosen for dele
gate for the short term at the election
nest month, than it has to the long
term delegateship. That has been
because of the fact that A. P. Swine
ford, the grandest old warrior for the
right in ail Ala?ka, is a candidate for
the short term, and because the prin
ciples involved in that candidacy are
matters of paramount importance to the
Alaskan people. However, notwith
standing that the success of Governor
Swineford's candidacy is the question
of first concern, it is time that the
people pave serious consideration to the
long term question.
It is necessary that a delegate should
be cnosen to represent Alaska in th
t>Oth congress who will keep up the
work that has been attempted in the
59th congress and which it is hoped will
reach fruition in the short session nest
winter when Gov. Swineford wil! have
a seat on the floor of the house. The
question for the voter to determine is,
"Who can best 811 the bill ?"
The Daily, Alaskan has no hesitancy
in naming "THOMAS CALK" in an
swer to that question.
Like Gov. Swineford, Thomas Cale
represents the non-partisan, non-sec
tional and non-f.ictional idea in Alaskan
affairs. He believes in Alaskan gov
ernment by the Alaskan people. He is
for Alaska and Alaska's needs first and
last. He does not place party expedi
ency above the people's rights and
needs? he recognizes no party's claim I
upon him. He will not mix up .n a
quarrel ovor patronage. He will per
mit nothing to interfere with his de
termination to secure the legislation
the people of Alaska require.
The tories fear Thomas Cale more
than they do any other candidate for
the long term. It a well known
fact THAT THE REPRESENTATIVES
OF THE LARGE ANTI-TERRITORIAL
GOVERNMENT CORPORATIONS. THOSE I
who have assumed to dictate ix
ALL ALASKAN AFFAIRS, AKE NOW
HESITATING IN ARRIVING AT A DE.
TERMINATION AS TO WHERE TO
THROW THEIR INFLUENCE IX THE
COMING ELECTIOX FOR THE I'l'KPOSF.
OF ASCERTAINING WHICH OF THE TWO
PARTY CANDIDATES ? M EL LEX OR Ml'.
RAXE ? WILL SHOW GREATEST
STRENGTH. THEIR FIRST DESIRE IS
TO DEFEAT CALE AND THEY WILL
SUPPORT EITHER THE "REGULAR"
DEMOCRAT OR THE "REGULAR" RE
PUBLICAN TO ACCOMPLISH THAT
END
The Daily Alaskan believes there is
no question that the true Alaskan
?pirit, unhampered of strings and un
tainted of hypocracy, can best be serv
ed by the election of SWINEFORD
and CALE.
QOV. SWINEFORDS ACCEPl'
. ANCE
There is nothing inconsistent with
?on-partisan politics in the acceptance
of the Juneau democratic nomination
for delegate to congress for the short
term by (jov. Swineford, who became a
non-partisan candidate for the same at
the request of the advocates of terri
torial government in Southeastern
Alaska without regard to party. Gov.
Swineford has always been a democrat
and if his fellow democrats of Juneau
and vicinity, who believe in making the
election a party matter, desire to vote
for him and to place his name where
he will receive the support of the dyed
in-the-wool brand of democratic citizens
who vote the "regular ticket," under
all circumstances, there was nothing
for hire to do but "accept with thanks."
When Gov. Swineford accepted the call
of the citizens of Southeastern Alaska
to become a non-partisan candidate for
congress he also accepted the obligation
to do all he could with honor to him
?elf * to contribute to his success and1
theirs. Had he refused the nomination
offered him by the Juneauitts, he
he would have been remiss in his duty,
just as would Thomas Cale have boen
unfaithful to the convention which
nominated him had ha refused to ac
cept the endorsement of the labor
unions and democra's of Nome.
It is said by many leading author
ities that the preliminary battle for the
republican presidential nomination two
years hence will leach its climax in
the Ohio campaign. As frequently has
[ been Ihe case, the Buckeye state is re
garded as the pivot by many of the
wise ones. Tbis makes it interesting
to know that a movement is now on foot
to commit that commonwealth to Vice
Prtsident Fairbanks. The boom
launched for Congressman Burton did
not take well and th6 light between For?
aker and Taft followings is so keen (hat
it was regarded as wise to look outside
of the state for a candidate. Former
Governor Herrick has charge of the
Fairbanks campaign.
