Ex-Gov. A. P. Swineford, with
the accent on the ex, takes excep
tion to some statements of Gov.
Brady in his report for lfK)3, just
issued. Governor Bradv declares,
and with truth, that the popula
tion of Alaska is 62,000 and not
100,000, as claimed by the territor
ialists. The census for 1900 shows
Gov. Brady eorrect. Mr. Swine
ford states that the opponents of
territorial government are men
afraid of “being thrown out of gov
ernment jobs and a lot of soreheads
The opiKisition to territorial gov
ernment in the main comes from
those who wish to gut the country
and get out.” In this interview,
which appeared in the Seattle
Times, Mr. Swineford shows all the
symptoms of a bad case of sore
headness, so much so as to cause
one to believe that the strong and
ever growing sentiment against
such a form of government for
Alaska, had blistered him most
grievously.—Forum.
