STRONG BATTLE FOR CONGRESS
The fierceness of the war that la be
ing waged by the two political parties
(or the majority in the 60th congress is
a reminder of those days of strenuous
politics in the 70s and 80s. The demo
crats are making a very game tight to
make a break in the New England dele
gations. William J. Bryan, John Sharp
Williams. Charles A. Towne, Bourke
Cochran and other national orators are
being sent into Maine. They will make
from a dozen to a score of speeches each
In Representative Littlefleld's district.
The republicans will send Speaker
Connoo, Vice-President Fairbanks and
others equally famous to the Pine Tree
state to offset the democratic thunder.
It is said if a break can be made in
Maine the war will be fought furiously
In Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
Connecticut and Rhode Island.
The democrats will also fight for
seats in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio.
Indiana, Illinois/Iowa. Missouri, Okla
homa and other states.
While it is conceded that the demo
crats will make gains in November over
the extreme weakness of their numbers
in the present congress it is not gener
ally regarded as likely that they will
capture the house. It is said by some
critics that the? really do not want it,
but that they desire to come so close to
winning that they will gain a moral
victory without incurring the responsi
bilities that control involves.
The combination at Juneau, Fair
banks and elsewhere for Murane, re
publican, for the short term, anil for
Mellen, democrat, for the long term
indicates how little partisan poli
tics is held as binding by the support
ers of these men . It also is a confess
ion of defeat. I' is an admission that I
Thomas Cale is the favorite.
The Juneau papers demand that Got.
Swineford call his supporters at Skae
way a way from Cale and compel them
to vote for Mellen, if he wants the
Mellen men of Juneau to vote for him.
Well, why not put it the other way.
From the beginning of the campaign
the Mellen papers and many of the
other Mellen supporters of Juneau have
been knifing Swineford.
There is not much in a democratic
and republican fusion to appeal to the
party pride or spirit. When the man
agers for Mellen and Murane pool
issues it is time to admit that demo
crat* and republicans owe nothing to
tbem is party candidates.
Skagway should not fail to hold her
place as a town of importance in Alas
kiska. She cannot do that without
there is a full vote. GO TO THE
POLLS AT ONCE.
There is still time to increase the
pluralities for Got. Swineford and
Thumas Cale. If you haven't voted
make them one greater.
If there is not a laree vote cast it
will be urged as a reason why Alaska is
unfitted for self-government. DO
YOUR DUTY. VOTE.
Vote. You still have time. The
polls will remain open until 7 o'clock.
If you haven't voted go to the polls
now ? this minute.
It is not too late to vote now.

A Wonderful Compound Curr* Pile*.
Eczema. Skin Itching. Skin
Eruption*. Cut* and
Brniaes
Doan's Ointment is the test skin
treatment, and the cheapest, because so
little is required to cure. It cures piles
after years of torture. It cures obsti
nate cases of eczema. It cuies all skin
itching. It cures skin eruptions. It
heals cuts, bruises, scratches and abra
sions without leaving a scar. It cures
permanently.
.V.Sullivan, employe 1 in the street
department of the city, who resides on
Water street, at "35. Portlmd Oreg.,
says. "Doan's Ointment is without
any exception the best preparation on
earth for the purposes for which its use
is indicated and fiom my own experience
I know that it does all that is claimed
for it. For two years I was troubkd
with the worst kind of itching and
bleeding hemorrhoids. I tried one
remedy after another and even seut
east for a well known medicine, and was
ireated bv physicians, but 1 got no re
lief until I learned about Doan's Oint
ment. I procured a box and the first
application gave me relief such as I had
not eperienced for two years. I eou
tinued the treatment for three weeks,
when I was completely cured, and since
then I have been free from the torment
ing affliction. Whenever i bear anyone
complain of being annoyed with piles I
never fail to tell them what to do to get
cured. I would willingly give >20 for
a Oox rather than to suffer one night
like I did before I used Doan's Oint
ment."
