THE VOTER'S DUTY TO HIM
SELF.
If there ever was a campaign in
Alaska which presented a bread
and butler appeal In the voter, it
is the present one. On August
13th, next, the voter will be call
ed upon to decide whether his
vole is In be cast for the better
ment of the conditions existing in
Alaska; whether his ballot is to
blindly register a partisan predi
lection or to boost the vagaries
of a man who conceives it good
polities In light every man in
Washington in a position to help
Alaska out of her present slough
of despondency.
II will be up In each imlivid
nul voler to relied and ask him
self if he is satisfied with pr.»s
<•111 conditions; if the empty
house bringing in no rent en
compasses his ideal of a pros
perous community; if present po
litical conditions are such rs to
justify their continuance along
with those responsible for its be
ing. We* hardly Ihink any per
son who has studied the present
campaign will gainsay but that
the Democratic party will elect
Iheir candidate for president;
there cannot exist much doubt in
the minds of voters as to the po
litical complexion of Ihe next
Congress. II will surely be Dem
ocratic. Such being Ihe case, the
voter will readily observe that
the greatest good to Alaska must !
necessarily come through I ho J
election of the Democratic can
didate for delegate to Congress.!

TVIr. Tali and his admiuM ral ion,
fop I In* p I a I form upon whirl) INI p.
Cilmope stands is a fulsome en
dorsement of Hie present admin
istration. To elect James Wick
I'lsham is |o condemn those very
tilings we so badly need; il lells
Washington officials I ha I wo
hearlily approve our delegate's
prolcsl against further appropri
alions for roads and trails: it
Mis mil' friends in Congress that
we approve of .Tames NVickop
sham's course in brawling wilh
and insulting litem: il tells Ihc
depnrlinenls wilh whom Wickor
shani has pepealedly quarreled,
that we approve of his course and
condemn them.
II is hul natural that the Dem
ocratic parly would feel a keen
er interest in our welfare if we
were in -harmony with them fyid
gave them the prestige of the
first pun tired in the campaign.
There is an element among tho
Democrats hope w ho say I hoy will
no( vole for Mr. Jennings because
of I he election of Mr. Alfred Daly
as national committeeman. These
gentlemen have nothing against
Mr. Jennings, per so, hul wish to
punish Mr. Daly. A moment's
reflection will show the fallacy of
their posilion. Mr. Jennings'
election will mean thai, as tho
peppesontativo of Alaska's Dem
ocracy, he, and no olher official,
will have Ihc distribution of all
political patronage in Ihc loppi
lopy. In case of his defeat Ihis
tremendous power will fall into
llio hand** of National Committee
man Alfred Daly as Iho remain
ing representalivo of Democracy,
thus defeating the very object
sought to he obtained by those
desirous of punishing him.
II is our sincere belief that the
election of any other but Mr.
Hobepl W. Jennings would be a
sopious mistake on the part of tho
voters sincerely devoted to the
welfare of Alaska. Such a course
would be inconsistent with our
well being. Has Taft done for
Alaska those things which will
justify us in saying to the na
tion, by the election of Mr. Gil
more, on the eve of a great elec
tion: "Behold, Alaska has pros
pered during the past four years;
give us a return of the present
administration with its concep
tion of plenty."
Upon the other hand, is it a
good business proposition to tell
the national Democracy that we
are not of Jheir faith or belief
and that we will have, to repre
sent us at Washington a man who
represents no parly but that of
himself and one who will brawl
with those who oppose his ideas,
which are principally those of re
venge upon fancied enemies?
EDITORIAL NOTES.
A fashion editor asks: "What
shall we wear next fall?" Why, a
Wilson button, of course.
It is said Geo. Turner, of Spo
kane. don't like Woodrow Wilson.
What honest man did Turner ev
rv admire anyway?
A few drops of water does n't,
as a rule, discourage us from
having fun, but ii rather damp
ens our base ball ardor.
A very select political society
might be formed of the remnants
of I lie Republican parly. II might
aplly he termed Hie "Millionaire's
Club."
A consistent vote cast in Alas
ka willi I lie territory's Im*sI jn
I crest in vi«»wf will have the nann'
of Kohcrl W. Jennings printed
upon it.
The only way a fair vole and
an honest count can be had in
Yaldez precinct will he by closely
*crutinizing the voters ami keep
ing tab on both the box and count.
After the courts have spent
months on the Tokio Maru seiz
ure case and accumulaled costs
amounting to $1,500, President
Taft has released that vessel from
custody. Is Ibis |o be accredited
to the national committeeman
from Alaska?
The Republicans are much
concerned about petitions being
circulated asking for the stepping
aside of both Hoosevell and Taft
in order to save the party from
inevitable defeat. All ell'orls lo
find Hie authors of llie^e petitions
have provi'd unsuccessful.
Teddy lias figured il mil in I his
wise: If In* can j-'H all III" nig

In Mile fnv Mini, and I lie Pro
gressive Democrats and llfpub
licans in Ihe North to vote his
lickcl, lie can lie elected.
Il may be thai Taft's experience
in the primary campaign lias
taught liiin |<» remain a distance
from I lie voters. II will be re
membered Ihe vole of | lie Sf mi I li

ence south of the Mason and Mix
on line, save in a couple of in
stances.
