A STORY OF REPUBLIC S N DIS
RUPTION
This is something of the story of the
political row on Seward peninsula as
developed at the Juneau contention.
There were two primaries held in the
Nome district. The question was
raised as to the legality or "regularity
of a primary if held ahead of the date
named by the central committee.
There was doubt as to the possibility of
any delegate reaching Juneau after the
date' named for the regular primaries.
Advice of the best authorities on the
point of holding the primaries earlier
was sought but none would take the
responsibility of saying thus or so.
Accordingly the horns of the bill
were sei/.ed- representing the horns of
the dilemma? and primaries were held
in Nome assuming to represent all of
the peninsula, some days before.
Proxies were secured in the names of
all the delegates chosen, save two? by
a representative of Mr. Muraue, a
police judge of the city of Nome. Fifty
delegates were elected, and the two
exceptions in general transfer of prox
ies were the agent of Judge Murane
and Judge Murane himself. These two
journeyed from Nome to the convention.
At this primary it is reported that 211
votes were csst. But these were those
who declared this primary was not
regular, not being held on the date
specified in the call. Accordingly
another election, with an ent'rely dif
ferent set of delegates and officers was
held on the regular date. Proxies were
scoured from the delegates here elected
and handed over to Judge Bard, to be
voted by him at Juneau. At this elec
tion it i? reported 34t> votes were cast.
Judge Bard got as far as Seattle on his
wav to Juneau, arriving a little late,
where he received a telegram advising
him that entanglements at law had
occurred menacing valuable mining
property in which he was interested
He must return.
It was reported that Judge Bard was
a candidate fur the delegateship him
self. Just what he would have done
with bis bunch of proxies had he con
tinued to Juneau is not clear, '"Dick
Ryan had been to Washington all win
ter and had not returned to Nome. He
was in Seattle. Judge Ban! could make
no use of his proxies for himself so he
transferred them over to Ryan and
while the latter sailed for Juneau
he, Bard, sailed for Nome. Ryan
w us behind hand and asked the con
vention to "wait for him. It did.
When he and Mr. Burrell came before
the committee on credentials Burrell's
proxies, (for Murane.) While they
were fifty in number and all coming
from Nome as representing the whole
of Seward peninsula were found to con
tain the names of the delegates elected
and to be duly made out and certified
to in the names of the delegates Ryan's
list of 33 were made up largely of tele
phone messages and telegrams from
various sections of Seward peninsula
hastily gotten together at Nome, and
authorizing Mr. Burreil to cast their
votes. The credentials consisted of
affadivits certifying to the receipt of
these messages. Mr. Ryan's credent
ials consisted of a certificate from Bur
reil as to the fact of the transfer of
these papers. The committee had to
choose between these two irregular
things ? proxies of delegates elected at
primaries not held on the date set, are
of which proxies came from Nome
though representing the whole penin
sula, and these other, originally uncer
tain papers, presented by a man other
than i hat designated to cast their vote.
The committee accepted the former- -
as the stronger of two weak thisgs,
MAKE IT S W1NEFORD AND CALE
This story is told as a mere matter of
history and not to reflect on either
party to the better controversy. Both
orobably did the best they could under
the circumstances. The weakness
manifested by the credentials was the
result of the long delay at Washington
in the passage of the delegate bill and
which left so little time for the work,
It imposed on the people of Alaska. But
another lesson to be learned from it is
the condition of dissantlon and factional
hair pulling that prevails at Nome.
The republican camp there is all cut
and shot to pieces.
On the other hand the democrats are
united? not one among1 themselves but
with the miners organizations, exactly
as are the republicans in the Tanana.
Thf> democrats, with great show of en
thusiasm, have endorsed Thomas Cale
for the long term. This action prac
tically ensures the elfction of Cale for
the iong term. He has all the interior
solid, the endorsement of miners and
democrats of Seward peninsula and a
guarantee from Valdez that it would
support the Tanana man. To vote for
Murane ? the product of questionable
and uncertain conditions at a hurried
convention? the only man in the field
whose ambitions swallow the whole
bait for both terms ? is to throw the
vote away. Cale will be elected for the
long term. The tight resolves itself to
the short term. For this? alone? there
are just two candidates, Swine lord and
Waskey.
Of these, who. think you, stands t'ie
better chance ? Swineford, former gov
ernor, broad guage man, champion of
American principles, of proved capa
bility and honestly? an Frank Waskey
a man who may be alrigh', but the only
thing absolutely known about him, even
to the spelling of his name, is that ho is
a nominee at Nome.
Alaska should get behind Governor
Swineford solidly. Make it Swineford
and Cale.

troubled with a weakness of the back
and kidney for a number of years.
There was constant dull aching in the
loins and a numbness of the back, often
extending through the whole muscular
system as far up as the shoulders. Not
only did my back ach but there was n
weakness from the kidney secretions
which was very annoying and disturbed
my rest. I heard about Doan's Kidney

be a great benefit. After the first few
doses I felt better. I know of others
who have used them with the some
good results."
