THE -AJ,.spAN Fl. LECTION,

Tue DAILY ALASKAN presidential cleo ton contest was success in every way. The people took it up with all the enthu- siasm that could be expected. Or this the size of the vote is the best evidenre Nearly every voter in the city exercised the franchise, and if there was any illegal voting II was not detected. In fact, the evidence is plain that there was little if any.
 While the democrats naturally feel elated over the result their majority is so small that the city of Skagwav cannot be said to belong to one party or the other. It is very evenly balanced.
 The big vote for territorial form of gov ernment is gratifying and will not fail to be impressive. If other portions. of Alas ks will follow the lead of the metropolis and take steps 10 get an expression of the electors On the subject t will be of great use when the question comes up in con gress.
 The judges who met each night for a week at the DAILY ALASKAN office and counted the votes contributed much to the success of the election. They performed the task they took upon themselves fairly and well.

SUNDAY SOCIAL.
TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENT.

It has been little over one year since the DAILY ALASKAN took up the fight for territorial form of government. It urged with all the yigor it could com nand that the convention then in session at Juneau demand of congress the creation of a territory for southeastern Alaska. It pointed out in advance that the legislation secured from congress would in all prob ability be unsatisfactory as legislature setting 4. 900 miles away is not qualified to legislate on questions local 10 community of which they know nothing. But the DAILY ALASKAN was fighting alone. It met with opposition from some of the Skagway delegation, by far the most pro gressve men in that convention, and no other newspaper took up the fight. The convention tailed to follow our advice and the result of congressional action was as predicted
 The DAILY ALASKAN kept up it's fight. One by one the newspapers of the district fell into line, and today the battle is won as far as Alaska is concerned. If any thing were needed to demonstrate that AIaskans are now ne,rly unanimous in favor of territorial form of government it is furnished by the splendid vote on that question in Skagway during the last week. There were nearly seventeen votes boiled in favor ot territorial government 10 one against.
 The DAILY ALASKAN will be eXcu,ed for taking great deal of credit to itself for the change in public opinion. It is also proven that it disoerned the true rem edy for the Alaska situation earlier than the great majority.

The scheme is based upon popular
stock membership at one dollar per

sity for the several nations to take out
policies. A dividend upon stock is
promised from any surplus in the
treasury over certain sum 10 be main
tanned for payment of policies. Ma
tions will be insured in the same manner
