SUPPORT SWINEiORD
Ambition to represent Alaska at
Washington is laudable enough on the
part of men who have reason to believe
they have talent that might accotn
pliah things. But ambition and suc
cess are two different things. Many
of the recognized great have had am
bitions?the list is long in the story of
these young United States alone and
the most familiar names have often
been printed? but the practical or the
lucky of meaner ability have a beaten
them to it as the saying goes.
Marshal Shoup is going before the
convention at Juneau, it is said, as the
uncompromising candidate for both the
short and long terms. Now as a mat
ter of fact, a common sense view of
the situation ? the district would be
best served by the selection of a capable
man who might continue through both
terms. To send a man to Washington
whose term of service will conclude
with the present congress, one winter,
to be relegated to private life when he
is fairly initiated into the mystery of the
rules of the house, to be succeeded by
another, not so initiated, is not good
practice, so to speak. But this is a big
district and needs a lot of represen
tation. Say what you will each section
of the district believes itself to be the
most important and insists upon being
recognized. Each section, however,
is aware that it cannot alone elect its
man and a division of the honors is cer
tain to be demanded and form the only
way toward a peaceable settlement:
theories to the contrary will not count
Already we hear of Nome and Seward
making up to each other through Ryan
and Youngs, to this end, Fairbanks and
Nome have been^dicKering on the same
basis through their independent miner
candidates. It is not reasonable to be
lieve that iny one man can prove him
self so preemimently popular as to carry
the three trreat divisions of the district
for both terms.
The thing for Southeastern Alaska to
do therefore is eschew political lines
and squabbles, get behind her most
popular citizen, who is already edu
cated to the ways of legislation, who is
widely acquainted and upon terras with
the influential at Washington, who
needs no introductions or instructions,
but who is prepared at once, upon en
tering service, to become an effective
agent for the advancement of Alaska.
Former Governor Swineford is that
man.
He desires election to the first term
only. By the united support of
this division be can be elected and no
better choice could be made.
BACKED BY HIS OWN NEWS
PAPERS
From the fact that W. A, Steel is to
be editor of the new paper at Fairbanks
it looks as though William H. Bard,
one of the Nome candidates for dele
gate is going to carry his light into
Cale's camp. Bard has bought and
consolidated the Nome Nugget and
News and has made Steel's brother
editor.? Juneau Dispatch.
If Mr. Bard is going into the news
paper business to advance himself po
litically he is but making the custo
mary error of the inexperienced. No
newspaper owned by a candidate ever
did other than injury to his plans and
ambitions .
A candidate that appeals to the pub
lic through a newspaper that he owns?
a newspaper that speaks for a candi
date who owns it? they are both wast
ing their efforts. Neither has any
weight. The public wants to feel that
the newspaper speaks for the general
good, not influenced by the personal
ambitions of its owner. Otherwise its
words fall on deaf ears.
The proposition to postpone the date
of the convention, which it is said dele
gates now on the way up from Seattle
are prepared to insist upon, was to
have been expected. The legislature
of Alaska at Washington lagged so long
over the honor of fathering the dele
gate bill and was so utterly unconscious
of the conditions here that the provis
ions of the bill had to meet, that the
real work on the ground here, the ad
vertisement, the election of delegates
to and the holding of the convention)
the Domination of candidates, the
campaigning and the election, must all
be done in such a hurry that it would
be strange indeed if the results will be
entirely satisfactory.

NATURE TELLS YOli
At Many Reader Knows Too Well
When the kidneys are sick,
Nature tells you all about it.
The urine is nature's calendar.
Infrequent or too frequent action;
Any urinary trouble tells of kidney ills.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney
ills.
J. W. Strong, a retired veteran of fiOO
Ohio Street Bellinghain, Wash,, says:
"Up to three years ago 1 had never
suffered any form of kidney complaint.
After that time I moved up the Colum
bia river to Whatcom Lake, and three
months after locating there 1 began to
notice symptons of kidney trouble. The
first was a dull aching pain across the
back, and which finally got so bad that
I was unable to get out of the house at
all. Changes of position were accom
panied with severe twinges of pain and
the kidnev secretions were dark in
co'or and contained a heavy sediment,
and pa-sing was accompanied with
pain. I think all this trouble was
brought on by drinkin impure water
while at Whatcom lake. However true
that may be, I procured a box of Doan's
Kidney Pills took them according to
directions, and was completley cured of
my troubles. About a month ago 1 had
a severe attack of the grip and was
afrtdd this would bring on kidney
trouble again, but there has been no
symptom of a recurrence. I am satisfi
ed that the cure is permanent."
