Gov. Gooding aud Associ.
ates are Nominated
[Specia( Dispatch to Daily Alaskan]
Pocatello. Idaho, Aug:. 2? The Good
ing: slate went through the republican
state convention today with but a single
break. Gov. Gooding was renominated
and A. E. Borah endorsed to succeed
Senator Dubois. The only break in the 1
slate was the nomination of Miss Belle J
Chamberlain to be su; erintondent of
public instruction.
HOME WAY
OF LOOKING
The interest that The Nugget has in j
this election is this: It wants to sec
the people fairly, honestly and equil- j
ably represented, and not any particu
lar interest or class. And if this be
done, a man's political faith or predi
lections is of no more consequence than
the cut of his coat or the size of his
mukluks.
It is the opinion of The Nugget that
the most important question confront
ing the people crt Alaska at this time ii
that of self-government. This news
paper has always stood for what it
deemed the bost interests of all the peo
ple, and for no person, party or class.
And for this reason it has been for
years an advocate of territorial govern
ment for Alaska, since it believes that
only oy securing territorial antonomy
can the many ills and disabilities under
which we lpbor be remedied. The se
curing of a delegate in congress is a
matter of minor importance compared
to that of securing self-government,?
