THE "MEASURE" IN THIS FIRST
ALASKAN CAMPAIGN
In accounting to iu readers for en
listing for the support of Judge Mellen,
the democratic nominee, the ^???
Miner, a republican paper, declaring
its action to be "one of the peculiar exi
gencies of politics" eoes on to say
?True, the parties have no record in
Alaska, no past obligations to dis
charge. and no promises to fulfill,
he lar?relv one of men

If ever a campaign was confronted
with measures, it is this campaign. It

secure the right to govern our
selves. Surely that is a measure.
Now the Alaskan believes that In
Congress Alaska has a large number of
sincere friends? friends that have been
won for her through her very helpless
ness and her insistant repetition o
demand to be accorded some measure
of justice. They are our friends be
muse they believe we-Americans that
we are -are being treated unjustly by
.he American government. W ?h the
flag flying above us, these Americans in
Congress see that we are treated with
ess consideration than the Filipino,
that to the American pioneer in this
Northern wilderness, btnt upon build
ing a new empire of Americans, the
American doctrine of square deal does
not apply- These friends in congress
know this but yet are slow and uncer
tain in their attitude toward us because
of the conflicting reports that reaL
them. The constant cry of the peop e
of Alaska is contradicted by a few w 10
have personal ends to serve and con
fusion is created in the minds of the
,reat body of Congressmen, busy wit
their own affairs, sufficient to give ex
cuse for not acting for our .elief. Thej
shift the responsibility saying Alas a
does not know what she wants -we can- ,
not decide for her when she W ? *e? I
us what she wants we will give it her. I
Now this is Alaska's MEASLRK t
is the thing which is set before the
people at this time to accomplish. 1 ne
man who has gone into this campaign
making this measure the one cardina
principle is former Gove- nor Swineford.
His election wilt in itself be a call to
Congress to treat with us, of Alaska, as
with fellow Americans who by right.
BY RIGHT, should be allowed to gov
ern themselves.

recent d'upatch from Sioux City. Cer
tainly this is the very refinement of re

LOOKS WELL
Governor Hoggatt as Seen
by Yukoners
"Gov. Hoggatt is a man of medium
height, of portly build, yet ready step.
He is of mii'dle age, slightly gray, but. a
mania the full vigor of life. He talks
with deliberation, but with easy and
precise) speech. His maimer is most
pleasing.''
This is the way the Damson News
introduces an interview with the gov
ernor. It quotes him as follows:
"It is my plan to go Irom Dawson to
Fairbanks, stopping at the smaller
towns along the route as long as the
steamer will permit. I particularly
am desirous of knowing all that can
be learned of the needs in Alaska of
the people who are striving to build up
the country. I plan to remain in Fair
banks several days, and to procede from
hat point to Nome, spend some time
there, then take a steamer for Seattle,
thence to Juneau, and a little
later to take the revenue cutter Mc
Culloch of Manila campaign fame
to the coast towns ot Alaska to the
westward.
"Many members of congress prob
ably would have visited the Yukon
this summer were it not that congress
has remained in session louger than
usual and because of the (act there are
many congressional elections tc be held ,
in the states this year. Next year will ;
be a little too early for the presidential <
campaign, and the congressmen will be |
more at liberty to travel. We may '
expect to see in my of them here next i
year.
"President Poosevelt, I feel, migh
be prevailed on to visit the north af
ter the expiration of his term. It
would help to turn the attention of the
world this way and give the north
much publicity if he could be induced
to come.
I think probably a commission may
be expected in Alaska soon to take up
the work of revision of laws for Alas
