In this Alaska delegate contest the
run is so short that a candidate;
might as well he chosen by shaking
dice as in a convention called by a .
hard!uI of Sea"!* men who spend a (
tow veeks of each summer in the (
territory. The man who can win in
the election without-a nomination will
have to receive a pretty good vote. ^
Seward has a candidate for delegate ^
la the person of Frank K. Youngs. To
be elected in a free-for-all race he ^
must receive the practieallv unani
mous vote of the district tributary to
Seward and a very considerable vote .
outside of that. If he cannot receive a (
good vote away from home as well as
the entire vote of his home, he says
hims«’lf he ought not to be elected.
Just drop this nomination jobbery
and give the territory a square deal.

, AN ALL-ALASKA CANDIDATE
Friends of Frank E. Youngs will
push his candidacy for delegate to con
gress from Alaska upon the ground
that although a “Sourdough” he
is not identified with any faction
and can go to Washington with no ol>
ligation aside from that of represent
ing the whole territory to the l*est of
his anility. He is not running as the
; candidate of any particular interest or
locality, hut simply as an Alaskan who
ha> lived in the territory all of the
time for several years and whose in

SENDS MESSAGE
AGAINST TRUSTS
ay Cable to The Daily Gateway.
Washington. I). C., Mat ■» Presi
dent Roosevelt sent a special message 1
to congress yesterday afternoon call- 1
ing for an investigation of Standard
oil and other great trust organiza-j
t ions. The president says the Stand
ard «»il Company for a long time!
secured $7oO,OOt) annually from secret
rebates on freight from the railroad)
companies and also secured other j
secret concessions from various sources l
which added large sums to its income.
The president saysaUo t.iat of thean
nual oil product of 2t>,0t>v),(XH) gallons ,
in the United States the Standard Oil)
Company controls 23,000,000 and is
able to control prices at will. He
states that since the investigation of i
railroad rebates make last year by j
Commissioner Garfield of the bureau
of corporations the railroad companies)
have cancelled the rebates, thereby-!
showing that they knew such rebates
to be in violation of law.
The president charges the New Vork
Central Railroad specifically with
thwarting the anti-rebate laws, and
farther charges other corporations
with criminal practices. He says that
the sugar trust seldom pays the law
ful tariff rate on its imports and regu-!
larly defrauds the government hv j
undervaluations.
When the president’s message was I
read in the house the members inter
rupted the reading frequently with
applause and at the conclusion the
applause wax long continued. The sen
ate ordered the message to lie on the
table. Senator Foraker said it cov
ered most of the questions now under
discussion on the general topic of
trusts by reason of the pendency of
bills.
The president stated in tin* message
that the attorney-general will begin
prosecutions of xeveral leading trust
corporations for different violations
of the laws.

that the legislature can act more
wisely when the situation is reviewed
more thoroughly. The vault of the
F. S. subtreasury was opened here
