ed franchise to bring out the vote.
For several reasons the vote is not ex-
pected to be large. The chief reason
is that one-fourth of all the voters
are men busy with mining operations
in camps more or less remote from the
voting places. Furthermore, the min
ing men in the placer regions are
buster now than at any ether season
of the year, and 1t is likely that many
of them may find themselves too busy
to go a long distance to vote. Never
theless this first general election is
attracting no little attention and the
result Is awainted here with interest.

The city council last night ignored
all regard for right or justice, when
after calling for bids for the city
printing they allowed the Morning Tri-
oune to withhold it's bid until the
others had been opened and made pub
lie.
They ignored every regard for the
taxpayers money, when after thus at
tempting to give the Tribune the ad-
vantage in the bidding, they still
awarded the contract to that paper
when its price was almost double the
price asked by the Evening Teller.
They made the award upon the
himsy excuse that the Tribune's bid
was the best. and gave no other rea-
son. They did not know why the Tri-
bmes bid was the best except that
Il suited them better to support that
paper regardless Of the cost to city
taxpayers. The Teller submitted to
the council that the Teller's circula- :
ton in the city Is larger than any
other paper published, including the
Tribune The Teller representative did
not ask the council to take a bare
statement for this but submitted that
the 'Teller's subscription books were
open to their inspection, and asked
mat they not draw a comparison be-
tween the two papers on bare opin :

Is A. p. Swineford, former governor
OF the territory. Swineford has lived
IN Alaska for many years and fulfils
admirably the popular demand that
the first delegate in congress shall be
genuine Alaskan" He is radical
In thought and speech almost to the
point OF intemperance. but his sterling
honesty and sincere devotion to what
he believes to be best for Alaska are
not questioned. He is asking for elec-
tion only for the short term, that II.

gress, ending next March. II his ad.
herents take him at his word and

his candidacy will not operate against
the success Of the candidates FOR the
long term. one of whom is also to be
elected today
Another prominent and picturesque
candidate for delegate is Thomas Gale.
miner OF Fairbanks. He has entered
into combination with Frank n.
Waskey OF Nome, also miner, and
they stand on the same platform.
They have the support of a majority
OF the miners, the longshoremen and
the labor unions. Gale Is out for the
long term and Waskey for the short
term.
The outcome Of the election is ALI
guesswork. There is no guage which
can safely be applied to the situation.
for there has never been a general
election in the territory. and nobody
knows exactly what the majority
opinion is on any one OF three or four
issues which have figured prominent-
iy in the campaign.
