PARTY DUPLICITY
1
The action of the pa*ty conventions
at Juneau with reference to the question
of self-government for this district
justified the convention of the Daily
Alaskan that local issues can be dealt i
with better by non-partisan movements
than by party organizations. While
both the democrats and the republicans
paid tribute to the longing of the people
for home rule by recognizing their de
mands there was clearly in evidence a
purpose to conch the recognition in
such language that it would be satis
factory to both territorialists and tories.
They wanted the votes of all. The
temptation to straddle was too great to
be resisted.
There is this difference, however, in
the declarations of the democratic and
the republican conventions on the
question of territorial government:
The democratic convention declared for
self-government, limited to consist of an
electiye legislature, a limitation made
for the pur; ose of placating the tories,
while the republican convention de
clared for a law-making bastard com
mi?sion (to be selected in a manner and
by an authority to be designated by a
paternalistic congress), with a pointless
reference to self-government made for
the purpose of hood-winking the masses
Here are the planks. Let them speak
for themselves:
Kepublican? We favor the immediate
appointment or election of an Alaskan
commission whoie duty it shall be to
to recommend and propose any further
necessary and proper legislation for the
territory, including such organic act or
acts providing local self-government
for the territory as a whole or by divis
ion thereof .as the conditions may re
quire.
Democratic? Local self-government,
is one of the cardinal principles of de
mocracy- a right to be given the people
at the earliest possible moment. We
believe the time is now ripe for the
establishment of a territorial form of
government, consisting of an elective
legislature, to enact laws for Alaska
subject only to the limitations imposed
by law upon the acts of the legislatures
of other territories. We are unalter
ably opposed to any commission to
make laws for Alaska, such as is pro
posed by the republican platform.
Such a commission is un-American,
denies the right of the people to
make own laws, and is another
step forward in the centralization of
power.
It is said that both of the candidates
have modified these declarations by
coming out flat-footed for full territor
ial government. However that might
be there is a doubt about the position
of the political party candidates that
does not apply to the independent can
didacies of Gov. Swineford and Thomas
Cale. Both of these stand on platforms
that are straight and ringing demands
for complete self-government.
Down at Juneau they are rediculing
the candidacy of Thomas Cale for dele
gate to congress on account of his
clothes and because he has worked
with his hands. There is no alloy 'in
Juneau toryism.
The suggestion has been made that
Bryan has queered himself with the
Swedes by his prominent participation
In the festivities incident to the corona
tion of King Haakon of Norway.
If Judge Murane cannot carry hi*
home town of Nome where is he going
to get the Totes necessary to make even
a respectable showing for him?
It is said that Tammany may fall in
line for Hearst as the democratic can
didate for governorof New York.

FIND BODY
Remaius of E. Kissam Are
Discovered
The body of K. B. Kissam. who was
killed last winter on Canada creek, in
the Kluane district, has been recovered
and buried. Kissam was hunting
coats last December and lost his foot
in; while descending a mountain side,
sliding and falling many feet to the
bottom of a deep gorge. A search was
made at that lime but the body was
not found, though the place of the
accidect was discovered.
The remains were found only a few
days ago by Hugh McKenzie and a
policeman. McKenzie having been a
member of the searching party now fol
lowed Kissam's tracks to where they
disappeared over the bluff, a day two
after the accident. When found, the
body was lying face downward, the
face being sufficiently will preserved to
be plainly recognizable. The re
mainder of the body was very much
decomposed. As the two men hail na
means of getting the body out of the
deep canyon, it was buried where it
was found.
