FOR DELEGATES FROM ALASKA
Short Term
A. P. SWINE FORD
Lout Term
THOMAS CALX
WHY SWINEFORD ?
In urging the election of'Gov. Swine
ford for the delegate from Alaska for
the short term the Daily Alaskan has
not one word to say against Frank II.
Waskey, the candidate of the miners,
labor unions and democrats of Nome.
It is said that he is a man of excellent
abilities and of the highest integrity.
He stands on a platform identical with
that upon which Thomas Cale is runn
ing and substantially the same as that
announced by Got, Swineford. He
favors self-government for Alaska and
all the other things for which we stand.
It is in spite of all this that the Daily
Alaskan believes the duty of the voters
to support Gov. Swineford is so plain
that there can be no second choice in
the matter.
The people should cast their ballots
for Gov. Swineford first of all because
he stands for that which the people de
sire most and need most? SELF-GOV
ERNMENT. Should be elected be
cause he is best prepared of any of the
candidates for the short term? or the
long, for that matter ? to do efficient
work in securing from congress that for
which he stands. He has made a study
of Alaskan conditions for 21 years? an
honest, thorough, intelligent study.
He is prepared to stand on the floor of
congress without farther investigations
and represent all the people for all the
three months of the short session of
that body. He knows the ropes at
Washington. He has located the hid
den wires and knows how to attain re
sult*. He is acquainted with the big
men of the nation and has friends among
them. He knows where and bow to get
the help that he will require. Further
he should be elected because he has
earned the right to recognition. He
has given two decades of the ripest
period of his life to Alaska and the
Alaska people. In return he is entitled
to the honor of being Alaska's first
delegate.

When the Alaskan road commission
is under consideration it must be borne
in ntind that Alaska is indeoted to
Major Richardson, its president, for the
<150,000 appropriation made by con
dress. That sum is in addition to the
license money that Alaskans pay it is
one of the very few returns our people
bave received- for the money
that has been taxed out of them. Had
it not been for Major Richardson the
money would still be in the federal
treasury and the road fund would be
about 85 per cent sm?ller than it is.
Had the so-called democratic conven
tion at Juneau condemned the principle
involved in the turning over of the
expenditure of money taxed from the
people and the Construction of a road
system for the territory of Alaska-pure
ly civil matters, both of them? to the
military branch of the government, it
would have had some foundation to
stand oa. But when it attacked the
efficiency of the commission it was
quite another matter.
Whenever there is a dull day Colora
do can be depended upon to furnish
something to drive away ennui. On those
days when they are not preparing for
or holding an election or counting the
returns from one and when the armis
tice between employer and employed is
in exceptionally good working order
there are the state courts. They >are
always ready to do an impromptu stunt.
It is the duty of every citizen |to see
that every vote in Skagway vicin
ity is cast at the election next Tues
day. Appoint yourself a committee of
one to make it a point that everybody
you know goes to the polls and casts
his ballot.
The war center has been transferred
from Russia to Colorado and North Car
Why not keep your boy and girl at
home let them attend the Skagway high
school, and put the money it will save
each month in a sayings bank or some
other safe interest earning place where
it will be available for them when they
shall have to go to college The plan
is worth a trial .
Word comes from Nome that the
Ryan faction of the republican party
there is fighting "Judge" Murane down
the line and that he will receive very
few votes in that section, The indi
cations are that Thomas Cale will carry
the Seward peninsula country by a
sweeping plurality.
It now looks as though the race for
the long term delegateship were be
tween Thomas Cale and "Judge" Mel
len? rather, it looks as though "Judge'
Mellen were in the lead for second
place.
It matters not how unanimous is
the sentiment of Lynn canal on the
issues of the campaign unless the senti
ment is voted.
We have fought for a decade for
American principles. Let us not over
look the opportunity to vote for them.
Votes are what will tell the tale.
They are Alaska's need now.
Every tnan has a vote and an oppor
tunity to use it for Alaska.

A Wonderful Compound Cure* Pile*.
Eoxtma. Skin Itching. Skin
Eruption*. Cuts und
Bruises
Doan's Ointment is the best skin
treatment, and the cheapest, because so
little is required to cure. It cures piles
after years of torture. It cures obsti
nate eases of eczema. It cures all skin
itching. It cures skin eruptions. It
heals cuts, bruises, scratches and abra
siuns without leaving a sear. It cures
permanently.
>3. Sullivan, employed in the street
department of the city, who resides on
Water street, at T.'i 5. Portland Oreg.,
says. "Doan's Ointment is without
any exception the best preparation on
earth for the purposes for which its use [
is indicated and from my own experience |
I know that it does all that is claimed I
for it. For two years I was troubled '
with the worst kind of itching and
bleeding hemorrhoids. I tried one
remedy after another and even sent
east for a well known medicine, and was
treated by physicians, but I got no re- j
lief until I learned about Doan's Oint- |
ment. I procured a box and the first
application gave me relief such as I had
not eperienced for two years. I cou
tinued the treatment for three weeks,
when I was completely cured, and since
then I have been free from the torment
ing affliction. Whenever 1 hear anyone
complain of being annoyed with piles I
never fail to tell them what to do to get
cured. I would willinsr'y give <20 for
a oox rather than to sutler one night
like I did before I used Doan's Oint
ment."
