C?LE AND WASKEY
The election returns received late
Yesterday from Nome insure the
election of (rank H. Waskey as dele
gate for the .short term and Thomas
Cale for the long term by majorities
that are overwhelming- and conclusive.
The result is not a surprise to those
who have studiously observed conditions
in Alaska for the last few years and
who have not permitted themselves to
be blinded by local pride and bumtious
ness or by undue selfishness. The people
of Alaska have but awaited this oppor
tunity to go on record against toryism,
subterranean politics and maladminis-j
tration. They have sickened of govern
ment from Washington, under laws
and regulations made in the tainted
atmosphere of a hired lobby, and they
have decided to take unto themselves
that which belongs to them.
There is no doubt but that the people
have chosen yell. Those who know
our newly elected repre-seutatives best
are their strongest admirers. Mr. Cale
we have seen, and that he is sincerely
. .7S
.S.2S
. 4.50
. 9.00
?'.anding upon bb home rule and square I
deal platform is believed by all who
met him. He is a miner, a man of ex
cellent ability and not a little experi
ence. Mr. Waskey. we do not know,
but the Daily Alaskan is quite ready
to believe that which has been said of
him. He is said by those who know
him to be a university graduate, a
thinker, a careful student and a fluent
public speaker? he ha* even been
called an orator. He is a miner and is
regarded as rather conservative than
radical That he is sincere and thor
oughly honest is admitted by all. Both
Mr. Cale and Mr. Wassev received the
emphatic and almost unanimous en
dorsementment of their immediate
neighbors and those who are best ac
quainted with them.
Mr. Cale and Mr. Waskey ran as non
partisan candidates on a platform which
contained as its first plank a simple and
direct demand for "THF. ESTABLISH
MENT OF A TERRITORIAL FORM
OF GOVERNMENT AT THE EARLI
EST POSSIBLE DATE," and that is
the plaak which made it possible for
the people of Alaska to unite so thor
oughly in supporting them. That
plank, and the frank adherence to it by
those who stood upon it is the present
hope of the people of Alaska.
It is a fortunate thing that the sup
port of Mr. Cale and Mr. Waskey was
so general that it cannot correctly be
called in any sense sectional. Indeed
Mr. Cale has carried all three divisions,
and Mr. Waskey would have done so had
It not been that he had as an opponent
such a grand, old patriot as Governor
Swinaford, who has served the people
for so many years and so faithfully as
they would be served, that those who
have lived here long rallied to his stand
ard with a unanimity equalling in all
respects that which those of the second
and third divisions gave their candi
dates.
In fact, the only regret the Daily
Alaskan has to express in connection
with the election is the defeat of Gov.
Swineford, and there is nothing in
that regret which reflects in the
slightest degree upon Mr. Waskey. It
ia due solely to the fact that there is
absolutely no one who could have so
well represented the district as him
who has been its valiant champion for
so long and that there is none who de
serves so much at the hands of the
people.
GOOD WORK AT JUNEAU
The D?ily Alaskan desirgs to offer its
compliments to R. W. Jennings, Z. R.
Cheney and those other faithful ones
at Junean who fought a good fight in
the camp of the ''enemy" for Gov.
Swineford. They secured a majority
for the grand old man under trying and
difficult circumstances. They deserve
great praise for holding the banner for
self-government aloft where there are
so many who have so little respect for
American principles of government.
The; have justified the hope that there
is not a town within Alaska, or any
other place within the broad domain of
our country, where the majority oi the
people will not rally around the doc
trine of self-government when there
are those to carry its ensign.
Juneau has again repudiated its self
appointed lory leaders, and too much
praise cannot be accorded to those who
lead the revolt against them for the
right and the truth.
The chairman and secretary of the
republican territorial committee down
at Ketchikan who had their pictures
"tookin" and put in the paper with a
piece about what they were going' to do
for their man Murane were not very
good guessers. Murane was the tail
ender in the race at their town and
the tail was a long way in the rear at
that.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer's
Alaskan correspondents were not very
proficient election forecasters. Its
Juneau man said that Murane would
carry Southeastern Alaska for the short
term and Mellen for the long term.
Swineford defeated Murane by three to
one ? with some to spare ? for the short
term, and Cale has a" long lead for the
long term. Juueau spectacles have
always been colored.
The election returns will give a few
of those tories down at Jnneau, who
have acted as if their town is all there
is to Alaska, an opportunity to do some
retlecting. They may come to know !
after a while what a small figure they I
cut any how.
Probably tbe Juneau democrats will
take council of tbe members of their
party from other sections of the district
before ihey attempt to hold another
convention.
The republican concessional cam- 1
paign committee has raised SI, 000, 000 j
by popular subscription to expend for
legitimate expenses in the elections |
next November.
Senator Bailey has been unanimously |
renominated by the democrats of Texas, |
both at a primary election and a subse- 1
quent convention, for the I'nited States'
senate.
A very old? but newly recognized at
Juncan? synouim for tory is the old
term "small potatoes."
