Now this is the end of the CAMPAIGN
Tomorrow the vote is to be cast that is to
serve notice upon all who engag3 in politics
in Alaska hereafter, and especially upon the I
federal appointees, that the Alaskan voter
will not stand for false pretenses and misrep
resentation: that Alaska must have the
SQUARE DEAL first of all, that the appoint
ed governor must not interfere with or deny
the truth of the expressed wishes of the peo
ple- This is the fundamental principle of the
campaign. With the same stone that is
thrown to make this demonstration, another
bird is killed-- Alaska is to be really
represented in congress.

of local self-government be provided for Alaska as simple
and inexpensive as possible.

fully limited powers.

FIFTH ? Abolition of the glaring abuses of the associa
tion mining claim.

and throughout the district and the betterment of educa
tional facilities outside incorjiorated towns.
TWELFTH ? A laborers' and mechanics' lein law,
making wages a preferred claim and prior lein to all other
debts, especially upon dumps extracted from mining claims,
and other property produced by workingraen's labor.
THIRTEENTH ? Encouragement of all legitimate rail
road construction in Alaska and the building of a trunk
line from the coast to the interior under government super
vision. with strict government control of transportation
rates by railroad or boat ? with fair but not excessive rates
for both freight and passenger trallic
FOURTEENTH ? Will opj>ose in every possible way
the control of the trans{>ortation and mining business within
Alaska by dangerous combinations.

H0G6ATT GIVING SECRET AID 10 ROHAN
The part taken by the Seattle Times
throughout this campai -h is well known
