TIE ELECTION

The people of Alaska spoke Tuesday
on the issues that confront them and
their voice was against toryism in all
Its phases. The result Of the election
is an emphatic and positive demand for
territorial government for this district,
1t is $ rebuke to those who oppose the
application of American principles ot
government to Alaska and to shitty,
strsddling and evasive politicians who
seek 70 play with issues as a shreWed
chess player uses his pawns and pieces
It was an approval of open and above
board politics and the rule of the masses
IS against control by 8 small gang
Of corporation serving sycophsnts, hav-
ing possession OF wires which lead TO
connections in high places. 1t means
the transfer of Alaskan government
from back offices and Washington lob
bies to the Alaskan people.
And this expression comes from all
sections of Alaska. That is the best OF
it. Even Juneau went on record by
overwhelming odds for territorial gov
eminent. No other Interpretation can
be placed upon the vote for Gov. SWINE
ford, Frank Waskey and Thomas Gale;
and, be it said to their everlasting
credit, that is the issue upon which the
supporters Of h. W. Mellen appealed to
the voting masses Of juneau, Douglas
and Treadwell and upon which they
locked horns with the supporters Of c.
D. Mursne.
This is written without waiting
for returns from the second
judicial district, but st Nome sll the
parties are for self-goEernment, But
even were 10 not so there is little req,
son to doubt that the returns from there
will show that Frank Waskey and
Thomas Gale and their demand for the
immediate granting Of territorial gov
srument to Alaska were prime tsyorites

IN A NUTSHELL.

The indianapolis News while
classed as an independent paper. Is
closely allied with republicans and
very friendly to the Administration
II IS worth while. therefore, TO quote
what 1t SAYS of the subsidy steal:
The subsidy bill can be passed
easily enough If there is disposi.
ton to take it up. II has already
gone through the Senate, and. there
fore. it needs only the vote OF the
House of Representatives to make IL
a law. Much depends on the speak
er and his little rules committee. We
think that they, and all other re-
publican members would do well to
remember that the people are as
strongly opposed to IL as they ever
were. They see in IL simply an at
tempt to open the way for a private
interest to the public treasury. And
they are right. The question, there
fore, is as to how far the dominant
party is prepared to go i'm opposition
to public sentiment. a record which
shows only the imposition OF this new
tax. with nothing done for the relief
of the people, will not be one to
which our republican friends can
point with PRIDE"
