GOV. SHWORD PLACED IN
FALSE POSITION
The so-called denial that was tele
graphed from Nome yesterday that
FraDk H. Waskey has no intention of
withdrawing from the race for dele
gate, misquotes Gov. Swineford. The
latter said nothing about tie intention
of Mr. Waskey. He simply said that
he would not. be surprised if Mr. Was
key withdrew on account of personal
business. He did not believe that Mr.
Waskej could be elected. Arriving at
that conclusion he discussed the ques
tion without consulting Mr. Waskey.
He put the proposition in such a way
that showed plainly that he did not
mean to be quoting Mr. Waskey on any
thing, It is known that Mr. Waskey's
business conditions compelled him to
forego making a tour of the district.
It is not strange that if Mr. Waskey'a
business affairs were such that he can
not go over the district and become
acquainted with its people that it
should be surmised that they might be
such as to prevent his undertaking to
go to Washington for three months to
represent the people.

BUYS SILVER
Government in the Market
For White Metal
[Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan]
Washington, Aug. 11 ? For the first
time in 13 years the government an
nounces thut it will purchase silver for
coinage purposes. Bids will be opened
August 15 and on each Wednesday
thereafter, until further notice. The
government will require about
100,000 ounces a week, but the purchase
will be distributed throughout the
year in such a way as not to affect the
market.
This change on the part of the gov
ernment is said to be due to an increase

more silver money.
