SEWARD, ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 13,19U5.
The territorial political season opens this evening
with the speech of Mr. George B. Grigsby, candidate for
the attorney generalship, and the occasion can hardly be
let pass without at least some editorial gossip. In speak
ing politics, however, a newspaper, no matter how impar
tial it might try to be, can hardly avoid having other
meanings read into its words. But just now, anyhow,
whatever is said here is merely an unbiased introduction
to the great biennial campaign of the territory.
Mr. Grigsby is the regular Democratic candidate.
Mr. Schofield is the regular Republican candidate. Mr.
Cobb was a regular Democrat until a few weeks ago when
he decided to become an independent candidate because
the Democratic convention failed to give him the nomina
tion. He is the present attorney general and was appoint
ed bv the Democratic governor, the governor having re
eeived the power to appoint such an official until the peo
ple had an opportunity to vote directly for one. These
facts ought to militate against Cobb, but, on the other
hand, he is expected to receive support because he in his
official capacity was instrumental in compelling the fish
ery and mining interests to pay taxes. However, any
other attorney general, it is pointed out, would have only
been doing his duty in following the same course.
The race between Grigsby and Schofield in the three
greatest divisions will have a clear course. Both are
from Nome and have lived there so long that all other di
visions are practically terrae incognitae. Each will re
ceive the vote of the “regulars” of their respective parties
and each will have a fair show to make outside votes dur
ing their campaign. It can he said without the slightest
hesitation that in the home division Grigsby will heat! the
poll. This is not speaking in a party sense but in a per
sonal sense. Grigsby has the faculty of making himself
popular with the crowd and the independence of spirit
manifested bv him in a certain famous law case lost him
the district attorneyship, and he lost it willingly. This
will all be remembered and it is a fair guess that he will
receive in the Second division about the same majority
that Gilmore got there in the race for congress. Gilmore
and Grigsby are close personal friends but today Gilmore
is out for Schofield, although in the local politics at Nome
Grigsby and Gilmore go hand in hand. But beginning to
night the people of Seward will have the chance to hear
and decide.
