WANTED: A FULL AND COMPLETE EXPLA
NATION OF THE VOTE AT CORDOVA
ANO THE GUILTY PARTIES PUNISHED
The Cordova Alaskan published at j
Cor Jova. of date August first, has come
to hand. So uiuch before the election
as was this we find ou the first paze the
pictures of both Kon&n and Corson,
Ronan a large, double column and Cor*
a single column, side by side. Above
them in two lines across the whole
width of the paper is the legend: "A
vote for either candidate means legis-i
l*tion. Votes for any other candidates
but these two are votes thrown away."
So you see here we have absolute evi
dence of th? truth of the declaration
made by many that Governor Hoggatt
was lending aid to itonan, the demo
cratic candidate, also, in his efforts to
beat VVickershara."
Now if Governor Hoggatt think* the
people of Alaska are goto# to pass this
matter up with a jest concerning the
great number of voters who "threw
their votes away," it is only another
evidence of how little he understands
the temper of the people over whom h?
has for a little time been sot as "gov
ernor. " That fraud was perpetrated of
the boldest and most insolent character
at Cordova there Is no shadow of doubt.
Here in Alaska we all know the cir
cumstances?that .the men who cast
that big Corson vote at Cordova are
railroad laborers who came from Seat
tle. The facts are to be laid before the
authorities at Washington and Gover
nor Hofuratt himself? not his creature
Corson? required to explain. Alaska
is not going to stand for this sort ol
thing and the time to make that fact
plain is NOW? at the beginning of it.
As a matter of fact, however, this
whole business could not have turned
out better than it has to serve the best
interests of Alaska. This Ie:>son had to
be taught and, as stated, the time to
teach it is NOW. But it is a matter ot
common knowledge that when the de
sire of the people of Alaska was brought
to the attention of Mr. Roosevelt some
years he was not very enthusiastic
about it Not that he feared the people
of Alaska but the corporations? he
thought the power ol the corporations
would be brought to bear in the elect
Ions and, where the distances are so
great and the population so sparse it
would be better that the government at
Washington retain absolute control.
Still he was willing to be shown and?
as seen in his last message to congress
?beginning to lean in the other direct
ion. The government at Washing has
this absolute control, and we see the
repretentative of that ''government at
Washington" the representative also of
the corporations and bcklly and defiant
ly and without shame exercising an in
fluence for evil in the beginnings of the
country such as pollutes the older and
boss-ridden cities and states, from which
we have come and because of which
many of us have come ? an influence
which Mr. Roosevelt expects bis appoin
tees to be first and most steadfast to
combat. These things are to be brought
to the aatentlon of Mr. Roosevelt. Al
aska will not stand for them. The
election has so declared.
Already the Inquiry has begun at
Cordova.
TOUGH Oil THE POLITICIANS
According to rfcllroad men, bays the
New York Commercial, the Hepburn
law will cost the political managements
of presidential candidates about one
half million dollars in tho coining cam
paign. The Hepburn law prohibit* the
Issuance or acccptanco of transporta
tion passes under penalty ot Ones from
?200 to $20,000, with possible * Imprison
ment as well, in former presidential
campaigns the railroads and tlie other
transportation companies have extend
ed pats courtesies to speakers and othei
political workers amounting to the
equivalent of from three-quarters of a
million dollars to one fend one-hall
million dollars.
The estimate of $500,000 forcampalgc
transportation is based upon the trav.
oliog expenses of agents of the agri
cultural department of the government,
which aggregated $300,000 during the
past fiscal year, and their number is by
no means as great as the speakers anc
other workers that political managers
will have in the field. "Furthermore,
they will not as a rule oe able to meet
this expense out of their own pocket
books, and possibly before the cam
paign is ended each of the national
committees will have spent for railroad
fares much more than one-half million
dollars.
HEARST'S VIEW OF IT
William R. Hearst personally is a
man of few wor?ls. In tins way he
characterizes the democratic party? of
which he late was one:
"I-ad by a Knight arrayed in motley
of motified professions and compro
mised principle*, of, altered opinions
and retracted statements; olllcered by
?uch soldiers of fortune as Sullivan and
Hopkins and Murphy and McClellan:
by Tom Taguart, the roulette Rambler;
and Tom Ryan, the Wall street cam*
bier; and Belmont, the racetrack
gambler; composed of such political
mercenaries as Bailey, of the Standard
Oil; Williams, of the Southern Rail
way, and Hinky-Dink and l?atb-House
John and Red Duffy and Nigger Mike."
To be sure Mayor Valentine might
display a copy of that telegram in hi?
window just to set the town laughing
again? but there would be the danger
of hysterics. Even a joke shouldn't be
carried too far. The idea of a town
being "plastered all over" with a FAC
SIMILE of a telegram RECEIVED on
a SENDING blank and then the raising
of a serious cry of FRAUD three days
afterwards by a guaidian of the
people's morals who goes to Cordova
for bis election returns? no, on second
thought It would be dangerous to dis
play that thing again. The entire
town would be In the hospital in an
hour.
L?st winter the question was raised
in the city council as to the danger of
permiting Jprisoners to be left alone iu
the jail with fire in the stove? a men

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL
Hoiltli ii Worth Saving and Sumo
A1 nk i People Know Hov to Save It.
Many Alaska people take their lives
in their hands by negle?ting the kid
neys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are responsi
ble for a vast amount of suffering and
ill health, but there is no need to suf
fer nor to remain in danger when all
diseases and aches and p?lnes due to i
weak kidneys can be quickly and per
manently cured by the use of Dean's
Kidney Pills.
P. Lamrneh. 121 North Terry Ave.
Seattle, Wash., says: '"It is now three
years since I gave a testimonial recom
mending Doan's Kidaey Pills after the
prompt and satisfactory manner in
which this remedy had relieved me of
ki'lcey trouble which bad affected me
off and on for a nntnber of years. Just
prior tn usiug Doan's Kidney Pills, ray
suffering had become more severe, ?nd
one day 1 wvs lakeo suddenly with at
tacks of sharp palos through my loins
and bladder. J sent for a doctor who
finally used a c .tlieter. This gave me
great relief at tho time but still I had
trouble afterwards with Irritation of
the bladder and with the disordered
action of my kidneys. I bee an usinp
Doan's Kidney Pills and they acted
very promptly and directly on the part*
affected, so that the bladder trouble dis
appeared and In other way I found gieat
reallef. This was several years ago but
still I am a hearty advocate of Doan's J
Kidney Pills and rcooraracD'J them to t
all sufferers fiom Kidney trouble." "
