THE SITCAilOX UP TO DATE
Now that the two conventions have
been held and set up their candidates,
the lines may be said to be fairly drawn
and the contest (or the honor of being
the first representative from this great
far northern empire is on. We have
the following from which to choose:
Former Governor Swixekord, for
the first, (short) tjrm. independant
candidate and democratic nominee.
Judge C. D. M ELLEN for the long
term, democratic nominee.
Judge C. O. Mukank for both terms,
republican nominee.
Thomas Cale nominee of the miners
convention, with endorsement of both
political parties of the Tanaua district.
Frank H. Waskey, nominee of the
miner* of the Nome district.
This is the list of candidates now in
the field and making a formal canvas of
the district. It is not impossible that
the number may be added to by one or
more independents, but ?i. "e on ac
count of the brevity of the time r? main
ing before election than for any other
reason it is not likely. Mr. Ryan of
Nome and Seattle is very wroth over
his defeat ai the hands of the conv ention
and as much ss announced there? tacit
ly at least -that he would be in the field.
If not in the field forhitnself.it is reason
ably certain that he will be as against
his successful competitor, Mr. Muraue.
All this aside, however, here is the
list, ul> to the present time, from which
the electors have to choose. Scan their
relative merits. If this were done dis
passionately by the votersof the district
and the votes cast udoo the result, upon
the estimate, orstoc , taking, the elect
ion of Governor Swine: jrd or.^ht to be
and would be a natural sjlt. To him
lielongs the honor by every rights and
claim? if there be right and claims in
such matters. Laying aside entirely
the argument of geographical preced
ence. of settlement and population that
belongs to southeastern Alaska, Goyer
nor Swineford is so much a part of the
history? the latter day history of pro
gress in Alaska,? ?o identified with that
progress, it represents so much of his
effort, that the enjoyment of the fruition
should belong to him. And this not for
the honor alone but that he may u>e
the leverage now accorded us to crown
his work, as it is his ambition to do, to
actually bring about the great privilege
of self government in Alaska for which
he has so long labored.
CHANCES OF SUCCESS
Let us take a look at thie field. Of
those named two others are candidates
for the first term ? Murane'aiui Waskey.
Both are from the Nome district, and
besides dividing the strength of that
district against each other, the many
factions of Seward peninsula, and the
bitterness of disappointment in the
recent convention felt by some of them,
will scatter the vote. Murane is a
candidate for both terms. Nominated
with unanimity as he was, yet the re
sult was brought about by the great
number of proxies he held from one of
two primaries held at Nome and the
circumstances which compelled Judge
Bard, who held the proxies from the
other primary to turn back to Nomj
when at Seattle and so did not
reach the convention. The interior
was not represented. Judge Murane
held fifty proxies for himself, there was
a decided division ot sentiment on the
territorial question, touching the can.
didacy of Shoup and so Southeastern
Alaska, whollv at the mercy of those
fifty Nome proxies, made a virtue of
necessity and accepted Murane. But
the VOTE? when it comes to that?
will be no more solid for htm here than
in his own district.
Murane is a candidate for both
terms? he seeks to have Seward penin
sula represent in the congress all of
Alaska for three years, It is not likely
to come true? is it?
So far as heard from Mr. Waskey. of
Nome, who seeks election to the first
term only, is not making the tour of
the territory. Ills name was earnestly
put forward by one man at the demo
cratic convention at Juneau who de
clared him to be a Bryan democrat and
who thought the reflected glory of Bry
an should serve him. But tile nomi
I nation was laughed off the list by the
doubts expressed as to the spelling of
his name or as to his real existence.
Mr. Waskey will doubtless gather up
*ome votes on the Seward peninsula,
where he is known, and in the Xanana,
where the fact that he his a miner will
count for something
But Governor Swineford is showing
his faith, earnestness and sincerit by
making the tour of the whole territory
to inspire the voters to take advantage
of this great opportunity to act for stlf
government. The cause is such that
he cannot fail to rouse the electors'
enthusiasm. The first vote of every
man in Alaska should be cast for self
government primarily. The leading
champion and the most effective agent
of that cause is Gov. Swineford.!
The other two candidates represent
that cause only incidentally. Division
in their camp will work to the benefit
of Gov. Swineford. If Southeastern
Alaska will give him its united suppoit
his election is practically certain.

Doan's Kidney Pills. My experience
with kidney trouble dates back to the
early p irt of the year. 1 8". >4 . when I had
a siege of the grip, which left my kid
neys io a very disordered condition.
I doctored a great deal and took treat
ment from one of the leading physicians
of St. Paul, Minn,, for thr^p months,
but only received a temporary relief.
The pain was in the small of my back
and was so bad I could not stoop or
straighten up without torture. After
coming out here the complaint still
clung to until a friend advised me to try
Doan's Kidney Pills. I did not pjy
much attention to his advice at the
time because I b:ia used so many things
that I had about lost faith in medicines,
but when I saw them advertised last
summer, as I was badly in need of some
thing to relieve the pain, I tried a box.
It gave me so much relief that I bought
more ana continued until I took five
boxes. They certainly did me an im
mense amount of good, and I have no
hesitation in recommending them to
anyone suffering from any ailment per
taining to the kidneys."
