NOW THEY THREATEN
The political tictics of those who de

very undiplomatic, for in their attacks
upon Governor Hoggatt they dig their
r?Uaud,ive him an exceUeut op
portunity to push them an into, t. rak
lng the agitator* for home government
ml their own word that they are pair io
Uc, liberty loving people, filled to over
.owing with love of country, morahty
and love of God. the governor ^ ^
other "substantial interests io Alaska
(Including Colonel Sutherland) can go
down to Washington .ud say to ?.?
en*. "These people want

amount and kind of Americanism
riotism and God-fearing mora hty be
embodied in ths organic Act, by
unaer which they are to organ,, a a

strumiot so drawn that the patnoU
,h.:i have every opportunity to
their 'patriotism' rtow like water . own
Yukon. And in order that they ma>
have no haudicap. let it also be provid
ed that the man who attempts to gam
ble or to induce othe? to gamble, shall
be declared a felon: that he who run
dance hall U a criminal, and tha*.
who opecs his saloon on Sunday must
serve a term of years in the pen.ten
tiary."
This is all possible, and indeed, .f the
abuse of Governor Hoggatt and those
Who represet.t the government be con
tlnued. it is more than prooable.
congress will do nothing more than em
body in the Grganic Act the law o
Texas, as past at the last legislature, on |
gambling, dance halls. Sunday closing.,
church ra??s. etc., and certainly Tex- j
? Can not be called puritanical, we
venture to prognosticate that a large
number of those in Alaska who are now
howling for "home government will
be the strongest opponents of it when j
it comes to the vore on that subject. ^
Now, no patriot, not even any ?oou
citizen, can go uown to Washington
and object to any of these restrictions
uu immorality being embodied in the
?'charter of liberty" governing the vote
on the question. Suppose that the Hon^
Thomas Cale of Wisconsin should a. ise
ou ,he floor of congress and say: '??en
tlemen, we want this gambling clause, j
daucr hall Clause and Sunday closing
clause stricsen out. The people of Al
aska are God-fearing, l.w abiding C.ti- ,
..us. and they wih look after these ,
things themselves." Woald cot som
old mm of God arise and say. The,!
Brother Cale, those restrictions will not j
hurt jou?"
So it can be read upon the wall, even j
at thi> early day, that the more Gov.
Hoggatt is abused by the liberty -loving j
pre^ of Alaska, the more he w.ll feel
,ike having the Organic Act made God-,
fearing and liberty loving. Ue w>
force the Alaska- American, to ? show
their hand" and if H be not clean con- :
reS3 will say. Nay. Pauline." If It be;
clean, every saloon and gambling man ,
in Alaska on ejection day will s?V, j
?'Nay. Pauline."
So how can one say that he Is for or
gainst a thing until he first knows ;
what it is"' Record- Miner.
? It seems strange to think that
the Post-Intelligencer would be so offi
cious in urging territorial government
for Alaska, knuwing, as it does, that
Governor Hoggatt and the federal ad
ministration generally, as well as tbe
"substantial interests'' in Alaska are
opposed to it, I'nless the Post-Intelli
gencer can be induced by the managers
of the Seattle Kxposition to attend to
its own business it is natural to suppote
that, with the governor and the ''sub
stantial interests of AlasKa'' opposed to
that congreasional ?ppropriatioD, it will
go glimmering.? Record-Miner.
The little coterie who are accideatly
at the head of our poor territory at this
time, to gain their ends have tried class
hatred, misrepresentation and villifiea
tion and, failing in these, they now an
nounce, bodly, in the two articles quoted
above, that they will attempt to tyran

S CULL FOR REPUB
LIC! CONVENTION
Juneau, Alaska. August 8, 1907. I
The Republican Territorial Commit
tee of Alaska, io obedience to custom,
hereby call on all who believe in the
principles of the Republican party and
endorse its policies to unite under this
call in the various cities, towns and set
tlements wherein they reside and select
delegates to the Republican Territorial
Convention, to meet at the City of Ju
neau, Alaska, on the 14th day of Nov
ember, 1907, for the purpose of electing
six (6) delegates and six (0) alternate
delegates to the Republican National
Convention which shall be held in the
early summer of 1WS.
In the selection of the date for the
Territorial Convention, the committer
has encountered the manifest difficul
ties resulting from the remote locality
of many interior sett'emems ana the
climatic conditions prevailing In the
second and third court divisions, ren
dering it impracticable fur the dele
gates for those divisions to receive
notice of and attend a conventional
Juneau, or at any other point in Alaska,
io the spring of the year 1003. and thirty
days prior to the National Convention
Therefore, with tne approval of the
National Executive Committee, the
date named for our Territorial Conven
tioa has been selected to facilitate a
general attendance from all sections.
It is liopfed that delegates will be elect
ed who can attend the convention in
persoD.
The primaries and meetings for the
-election of delegates in each settlement
and town hereinafter named, should be
held at the earliest opportunity without
further notice from this committee.
The committee desires to be under
-tood that in apportioning the represeu
tation to the various localities below
mentioned, that the said localities
should also embrace their respective
territorial vicinities.
Delegates to the Republican Tsrri
I torial Convention have been appor
tioned as follows.

askar.s know in their heart of hearts if
they Mibmitteu. this would be but the
begiomng of a series of tyrannies that
would be heajteu upon them aud they ,
a<so kr.ow and are confident in the be
lief, that resistance to such tyranny is
obedience to God.
NOTHING THERE
Messers. Kunner, Derbyshire, Kech
ter sad Harrison, who have been on a
prospecting trip on the heail waters of '
West creek several days relumed 10
the city this morning. In speaking of
the country Mr. Rnnner said: ? I have
heard for a loflg lime that prospectors
iii the early days found good signs of
copper in that locality and made the
trip to satisfy myself. I am positive
that then- is nothing there better than
what turrounds us in the hilU near
Skagway. West creek, as being a cop- j
per country, is a bubble that is broken
as far as I am concerned."
FAREWELL GATHERING
A farewell dance will be given at j
Elks hall' tonight in honor of E. A. I
Murphy, who leaves in the morning j
for Dawson where he will make his |
future home. At the Fifth Avenue
hotel this evening at 0:30 a stag supper
will be given Mr. Murphy by a number
of his friends. Not In a long time has
The Alaskan heard such general regret
as is expressed over the departure ofj
this popular citizen.
