The importation of carpet-bag
gers to 611 the minor federal posi
tions in this distriot still continues.
This must bo gratifying to tlio
local politicians whodiav© worked
bo avdfcntly in the “good cause.”1
The republican and democratic
conventions at Juneau both fa\ored
tha division*of th© 1 bird district
and the republican nominee has
personally pledged Himself to work
for it, so that there will be consid
eaaWe pressure brought to bear at
the next session of congress* to ac
' oomplish this- much needed dU
vision.
AStan their strenuous efforts in
Boosting;the “good canse”‘the local
lieutenants-must sit by and like it
as they see carpet-baggers filling
the positions they li&ve been cast
ing such covetous eyes on. It’s
another exposition of th© one-sided
“square d£al.”
Dfclfrgfvt© Yfoungs, of Seward,
promises to deliver 1200 votes to
Murane from western Alaska.
£Knce when did Youngs become the
political boss of tliis section? Hut
then lie may be mistaken as lie
vrus before the convention when lie
announced that the Valdez delega
titin'would stand oolid iin support
aifUiinsoHas delegate.
T?i«r ongllt to be some special
grovision made for federal office
holders in Alaska to vote at the
ooming'eleetion; Without there is
many of tHeimwilPhave no oppor
tunity to cast a ballot. Think of
itt Judges, commissioners and
other officials- who are not even
entitled to vote.
The platform adopted by the
republican convention at Juneau
endorses Roosevelt, favors territor
ial government when the popula
tion is large enough, favors the
creation of an Alaska commission
of’two members from each judicial
division'ibrr the revision of laws,
ftivors a fourth! judicial division,
urges the construction of railroads
and liberal appropriations for
wagon roads, urges tho aholition of
forest reserves and the granting of
the free use of timber on the pub
lic domnimto miners and settlers,
urges the abolition of lt>0-acre
placer claims- or*’ anything larger
than-twenty acres, makes recording
assessment work compulsory and
makes false affidavits perjury, de
mands better mail facilities, asks a
harbor for*-Nome, wants a: light
house district for Alaska and
thanks the Pfesidtnt for interest
shown in Alaska,
The republican' platibrm says:
“We insist that Alaska has now
much mom than-a> sufficient num
ber of permanent, capable,, intelli
3ant and ’oval citizens to demandr
as a right, that all appointments
of federal officers for the territory
must be restricted!tccitizens,. resi
dents and electors therein at the
tims of appointment.” This is
right hut can one expect the presi
dent to« reappoint residents win r
the federal officeholders- contior.>
to import their deputies and ch i
from the States.
The election" for delegate is set
for the ldtlnof fchia-month and it is
time forth* voters-of the district to
decide upon the candidate they will
support and endeavor to cast a
solid vote for one man. It has
been, suggested that a. mass meet
ing be belli Saturday night to- dis
cuss the matter and get the opin
ions of the citizens,, and such a
meeting will probably bo called.
A solid vote from this seotion for
one man even if he is defeated will
show the politicians that we are
worth considering and we will
secure some consideration as a re
sult. The candidates that appear
to occupy the foreground here arc
Murnne and Calc, both of whom
have pledged themselves personally
to work for the division of this dis
trict and the building oi roadsi
