HERRON LETS CAT OUT Of BAG
Party men desire a delegate who will defeat self-gov
ernment for Alaska-Nome man says Alaskans are
incapable of self-government
Wat the movement to elect the dele
gate to congress from Alaska in a con
test conducted on party linos inspired
for the purpose of defeating the desire
of the people of this district to attain
self-government? It looks mighty Use
it.
Charles E. Herron, of Candle creek,
who came from Seattle to attend the
meeting of the republican territorial j
committee and who resigned his mem
bership in the non-partisan committee,
let a good sized cat out of the bag while
in this city the other night, and it is
colored rery like a good many other
cats that have appeared from unsuspec
ted nooks in the last few weeks
In conversation with a leading citizen
of Skagway, who is a republican, Mr.
Herron, in trying to induce the Skag
wayan to come out for party politics,
said:
"WE WANT FOR DELEGATE A
GOOD REPUBLICAN WHO WILL
GO DOWN TO WASHINGTON AND
DEFEAT ANY BIL^ FOR TERRI
TORIAL ORGANIZATION FOR
THIS DISTRICT."
When the Skagwayan told Mr. Her
ron that he, tfith the great majority of
his fellow citizens, believed thit Alas
kans should govern Alaska, and that
the delegate should be chosen with the
purpose of securine that right solely in
view, the latter replied:
"THE PEOPLE OF ALASKA ARE
NOT FIT FOR SELF-GO VERFMENT.
THEY ARE WASTEFUL, EXTRA
VAGANT AND IRRESPONSIBLE."
He added, "OUR CORPORATIONS
DO NOT WANT SELF-GOVERN
MENT."
Of course the Skagway citizen, who
Is and (or many years has been one of
the most prominent men in this com
munity, told Mr. Uerron in few
words that he had entire confidence in
the people of Alaska and that he
would prefer to leave the matter of tax
ation and everything else that concerns
the large Interests with which ha is
connected to the good judgement of Al
askans who understand conditions than
to congress at Washington which knows
nothing about them.
There are other things directly in
line with this.
r
The Juneau Record-Miner, which has
urged for weeks tbat the campaign be
conducted on party lines, intimates that
when a delegate to congress was grant
ed the Alaskan people they got all that
was required. IT IS KNOWN TO BE
OPPOSED TO SELF-GOVERN
MENT NOW.
The Ketchikan Journal, owned by
the same man who owns the Record
Miner, urges that the campaign be
conducted on party line9, and IT OP
POSES SELF-GOVERNMENT.
All the Juneauifs who oppose self
goveramaot favor the conduct of the
election on party lines, and several of
their representatives have been urging
the candidacy of J. M. Shoup.
The TORY SMELL about this parti
san talk is rancid, The only safe thing
for those who favor REPUBLICAN
GOVERMENT for Alaska to do is to
unite in favor of a non-partisan candi
date whcse position on that question is
above suspicion. That is why Skag
wayans are uniting on Gov. Swineford,
the foremost advocate of seif-govern
ment in Alaska.

learn that the man is on his back with
pneumonia. That is of such common
