HEARST TO RUN
FOR GOVERNOR
/
Will Be Candidate of League
but Will Accept Demo
cratic Votes.
3y Cable to The Dally Qatoway.
New York. Aug. William R.
Hearst announces that he will run for
governor as the candidate of the Inde
pendence League, but "ill not object
to having democrats vote for him.
Hearst replies to the recent attack
of Jerome, saying that the district at
torney is the insincere, foolish play
thing of bosses who wish to divert
public attention from the campaign
now being waged against corruption.
He says also that he is a friend of
Bryan but will not participate in the
reception because he does not wish to
identify the independents with Bryan.
Jerome answers Hearst and says he
is conducting his tight on the latter
because the machinery of the demo
cratic party has fallen into the hands
of men whom the people cannot trust.
MAN FATALLY INJURED
IN RAILROAD TUNNEL
Heavy Rock Drives Hnd of Crowbar
Into George Bell’s Abdomen
and Death Results.
While George Bell, a driller in tun
nel 1. on mile 40 of the railroad, was
prying a rock above him with a crow
bar a loosened fragment struck the bar
and drove the handle end into Bell's
abdomen, indicting an injury from
which he died next day. The accident
occurred Tuesday afternoon. Bell died
in the hospital at camp 40 Wednesday
and the remains were brought to
Seward on the evening train. A short
funeral service was held by Rev. L.
H. Pedersen and interment was made
in the temporary cemetery north of
town.
When the accident occurred Bell
himself did not know that he was
badly hurt. He felt sick and sat
down. When he attempted to rise he
fell and an examination by fellow
workmen showed an ugly wound in his
abdomen. He was carried to the hos
pital, but the internal injuries caused
by the penetration of the heavy iron
proved fatal.
Bell had been working on the rail
road since June. It was understood by
companions that the name he gave
here was assumed. He was about 40
years of age.

Drill Finds Quicksand
Tests of the bars of the Kahiltna
river jus„ above the mouth with the
steam drill taken in by M. E. Davis of
Hope showed the presence of quick
sand at a depth of sixty-five feet. 1 his
demonstrates the impracticability of
working the ground by the dredging
process, and Mr. Davis has returned to
Hope with his drill.
BRYAN DEFINES HIS
POLITICAL POSITION
(Continued from page l)
of both employer and employed, since
society is the chief sufferer in case of
strikes. He expressed the belief that
the day is coming when the eight hour
working day will be universal.
On the money question Bryan said
that bimetallists are satisfied with
present conditions. The unlooked for
increase in the production of gold had
given a large increase in the volume
of money, which was all bimetallists
wanted when they stood for free silver.
Attacks the Trusts
Mr. Bryan asserted that recent trust
investigations have revealed what the
people should have known many years
ago about these great aggregations of
capital. He said the Republicans ap
pear unwilling to pass laws against
corporate contributions to campaign
funds. Ho said the democrats must
support all legislation forbidding cor
porate subscriptions to political cam
paign funds, and should keep open
books, showing the source of all con
tributions. He affirmed that trusts
are now legalized larcenists. He con
gratulated President Roosevelt upon
the steps the president had taken to
curb them but said he had not gone
far enough. Democracy must prevent
monopoly and present laws for that
purpose do not go far enough. He
said that a trust cares nothing for a
$5000 tine when it is making $100,000
during the trial to enforce the tine.
New legislation is wanted, said
Bryan, to govern the licensing of cor
porations in every state, and a corpor
ate license should be revoked for a
violation of law. He also favored
legislation to prevent the use of the
mails by corporations engaged in pro
mot ing a monopoly.
Opposes High Tariff
Mr. Bryan argued that the protec
tive tariff is closely allied to the trusts
and said a reduction of the present
tariff would afford an easy means of
preventing trust extortion. If the
president were authorized to place
upon the free list articles of trust
manufacture that power would furnish
a remedy.
Railroads are also allied to the
trusts, said the speaker. They should
be treated by similarly effective legis
lation and punished for granting re
bates. The railroads, he said, are
already so great a monopoly that they
must be taken over by the government
and managed for the benefit of the
whole people.
Mr. Bryan said that the democratic
party stands against monopoly. On
another occasion he would call atten
tion to the growing extravagance of
congress under republican control.
Sail Out to Meet Him
New York, Aug. .50 Although
William J. Bryan arrived in New
York harbor two days ahead of time
the committees in charge of the recep
tion were ready to meet him. By
special permission of President Roose
velt Mr. Bryan was taken off the
Princess Irene in the roadstead yes
terday afternoon and transferred to a
boat of the reception committee. This
was done at the special request of the
Nebraska delegation and required
an executive suspension of the
navigation and immigration laws. The
roadstead was alive with decorated
cruft tilled with cheering crowds, who
shouted, “Hail to the next president!"
Mr. Bryan spent the night at the
home of Lewis Nixon, the shipbuilder
and noted democratic politician, where
he held conferences with personal
friends aud political leaders. He re
fused to discuss politics, reserving all
that he has to say on public topics for
his speech at the formal reception.
He said that in the speech he will go
over the subjects which he has dis
cussed before in his communications
from abroad. He had nothing to add
to the letter he wrote from Europe to
Ex-Senator Jones of Arkansas, in
which he said that he might accept a
third presidential nomination. He
declined to make any prophecy as to the
probabilities for 1!K)S.
Mr. Bryan said lie felt a lively in
terest in the coming New York cam
paign but would express no opinion
and take no part until nominations
are made. He spent today in opening
t he big batches of mail which had ac
cumulated and in answering the most
pressing letters.
Looking for Trouble
New York, Aug. 2o — Trouble is
threatened in the management of the
banquet to be given to William J.
Bryan on his arrival from Europe
August 31. Harry Walker, president
of the Commercial Travelers’ Anti
Trust League, which is giving the
banquet, charges that a group of poli
ticians is trying to get control of the
affair. These politicians, he says, are
headed by Norman E. Mack, of Buffa
lo, member of the democratic national
committee from New York, and Alex
ander Throupeof Cincinnati.
Walker says the representatives of
the commercial travelers will not sub
mit to dictation by politicians who have
no real sympathy with the purposes of
the banquet and if necessary to pro
puce harmony all professional politi
cians will be ejected.
FEAR LOSS OF
CONGRESSMEN
Republican Managers Figure Pos
sible Democratic Victory
This Fall.
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
New York, Aug. 27 — Republican
managers of the congressional cam
paign admit that they are unable to
predict the outcome of the November
election. The loss of fifty-six seats in
the lower house would wipe out the
Republican majority of 110 in the
present house and there are more than
that many close districts.
The probable loss of forty districts
by the republicans is conceded, while
nineteen other districts are admitted
to be doubtful, and possibly more.
Six states which are now republican
are conceded to offer an etpial chance to
the democrats. RotLi parties will i
wage a vigorous campaign during the
last two months preceding election.
DICK RYAN TALKS OF
RECENT DELEGATE FIGHT
Nome Man Says No Different Out
come Could Have Been Expected
After Juneau Convention.
Richard S. Ryan of Nome, who was
one of the delegates to congress sent
to Washington by the Alaska conven
tion in Seattle last fall, was in Seward
last week and talked with some em
phasis about the republican territorial
convention in Juneau which nominated
Murane for congress. Mr. Ryan was
thrown out of the convention with a
bundle of Nome proxies, he claims
without a hearing, and he is not bash
ful about criticising the managers of
the assemblage, lie said:
“The outcome of the election was to
be expected from the result and man
ner in which the republican conven
tion was managed by the Juneau con
tingent. When men descended to
such methods as were employed to con
trol th® convention both in temporary
and permanent organization, they
cannot expect success. The Shoup
convention, as it is known, will
remain a stench in the nostrils of the
republican party in Alaska.
Objects to Outsiders
“It behooves the territorial commit
tee to assert and exert itself and see
that the organization is not again to
be contaminated by allowing degen
erate populists, disgruntled democrats
and fake boomers to run it. All is fair in
love and war, it is true in politics as
well as otherwise, bet false statements,
forged proxies and trading the capital,
which were features of the Juneau
meeting, will not be tolerated in the
great party of which Theodore Roose
velt is the leader.
"I hope to see the party arise from
this defeat stronger than ever and re
sume its leadership in this great terri
tory for the good it lias always done
and will continue to do under our
matchless president, a party which
is constructive and not afraid to es
tablish precedents in our territory
when needed for its immediate and
future development and welfare.
Alaska cannot thrive under a stand
still and trust in the future policy. It
wants appreciation from Washington
of its greatness, its resources and its
wants whether they be in transporta
tion facilities, telegraph lines or fed
eral buildings or all that that aid
should come to.
“Much resentment was aroused by
the refusal of the convention to place
any man from the southern coast on
the committees. I was told that t was
left off because I had no right in the
convention, but no answer was given
when i suggested that Frank Youngs
of Seward was eligible, being a regu
arly elected delegate from his own
town.”
Likes the Railroad
Mr. Ryan made a trip over the rail
road line with company officials and
after several days in Seward said:
“The Alaska Central’s future is
assured and I was more than agreeably
surprised at the work accomplished.
1 have built over 12(H) miles of liue in
Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, Dakota,
Colorado and Mexico, and I confess
that, barring the work done in the
grand canyon of Colorado and on the
Colorado-Midland road, the obstacles
overcome by the Alaska Central sur
passes any engineering difficulties I
have had to contend with.
“Seward is beautifully situated and
an ideal town site. It is destined to
become one of the great cities of
Alaska.”

PORTLAND SAILS SOUTH
Steamer Portland returned from the
westward Saturday evening and sailed
shortly after midnight for Seattle.
She brought several men from the
Yentna district, whose reports are all
favorable. On the steamer were nine
horses which had been sold by the
railroad company to James Fish, the
mail contractor and stage proprietor
on the Fairbanks trail. W. G. At
wood, of the Alaska Central, who went
over to Knik to dispose of the com
pany’s horses there, returned on the
Portland. He brought in twenty-tive
dogs belonging to the company.
The Portland was absent to the
westward nearly four days. This was
due to various delays, one of which was
the time required to load the horses at
Seldovia. __
Steamer Caswell Crippled
It is reported by late arrivals that
on the last trip of the Tyonic from
Seldovia to Hope she picked
up the steamer Caswell live or six
miles off Fire island, adrift in the
channel, out of water and machinery
out of order. She was towed back to
Fire island, given water and her
freight transferred to the Tyonic to be
taken to Hope.
Steamer Toledo Sails
Steamer Toledo sailed Monday
afternoon for the Inlet. She
took O. H. Sleeper’s compressor to
Sunrise and about tiiHK) feet of lumber
to George Lurches and Harry Watson
at Knik. It was shipped bv the Kenai
! Lumber & Fuel Company.
In the storm which visited the coast
of Bering Sea on July <>, 7 and \ the
breakwater which had been erected by
the Nome Improvement Company last
summer was completely washed away.
The breakwater was part of the piers
and wharf which was under construc
tion. It was situated at the mouth of
Snake river, and the water worked its
way under and around the structure
and nothing now remains of it but a
few piles. The piers and wharf when
completed would have cost $2,500,000
and $50,000 was spent on the work last
summer. The storm was the worst at
Nome since 1002. Three boats were
swept ashore; but the crews were
saved by the lifel>oat men.
The Canadian government, is cutting
a trail from Edmonton to Teslin lake.
It is finished to Peace river crossing.
It is to be eight feet wide and when
completed it will be l.'WO miles long.
One of the principal objects of the trail
is to afford communication between the
east and the Yukon over all-Canadian
territory.
