SUCCESSOR TO
 JUDGE HILDRETH
Col. L. s. HOwlett Appointed United States Commissioner
 for Kenai District.

Col. l.. s. Hewlett, for many years a resident of North Yakama, Wash ington, arrived on the Oregon yester- day to succeed Judge Hildreth as Uni ted States commissioner. His appoint ment was made by Judge Wickersham several weeks ago.
 There are two versions of the causes that led to the change in the commis- sionership. Judge Hildreth himself has told his friends for some time that he intended to resign and devote his attention to his mining interests. The other version is that group of busi- ness men for whom Judge Hildreth acted as agent in the sale of Mata- nuska coal claims in the early part of last year were dissatisfied with his dealings. They laid the case before Judge Wickersham, who gave it full investigation and promised them that he would appoint a successor to Judge Hildreth immediately on his return from Washington.
 Their next step, they say, will be the commencement of legal action to enjoin further payment on the coal claims, and to demand an accounting, If necessary, they declare that they will carry the case to the interior de- partment.
 Judge Hildreth maintains that his actions in the coal negotiations were straight and honorable from first tC last, and that the property he sold wa: not the property belonging to the group he represented.
 The Gateway will later publish the details of both sides of the case.
 Col. Hewlett, the new commissioner is native of Massachusetts, but ha: been a resident of the Pacific coast ( quarter of a century. He was man aging editor ofthe Portland Oregoniar during the Blaine campaign and has been a frequent contributor to higf class periodicals. He was permanent chairman of the republican state con vention at Olympia in 1892, Of late years he has occupied the office O United States commissioner at Nortf Yakima. His friends speak of him a. q man of ability and high character.

FRANK E. YOUNGS SAYS
 SHOUT NAMED MURANE
Feared To Run Because Told South eastern Alaska Man Would
 not Be Acceptable.

The nomination of C. D. NIurane of Nome for delegate to congress by the Republican territorial convention was accomplished by Marshal Shoup, who controlled the convention but feared to make the race himself because of the assurances he received from various quarters that a candidate from South eastern Alaska would not run well elsewhere in the territory.
 This statement sent out in the press dispatches at the time is confirmed by Frank E. Youngs of Sewaad, who was a candidate for the nomination. Mir. Youngs returned home on the Oregon in a pleasant mood. "They put me on the territorial committee as a sop to my feelings, said Mir. Youngs cheer fully, and I promised to do what could. After the nomination the news paper men asked me what l was going to do and l told them simply that I was a Republican.
 "The press dispatches got mixed when they sent out the statement that I had said I could deliver 1900 votes. What did say was that there are l2OO votes in Kenai and Cook Inlet precincts, of which a large number are undoubtedly Republican. did not claim to carry the vote in my pocket"
 To establish control of the conven- tion, according to Mr. Youngs' ac- count, the Shoup men threw out Dick Ryan's delegation of A. from the Second district and seated the Murane men. They also threw out 22 proxies which had been given to Youngs from various precincts, leaving him only 3 votes from Seward. This left the con- vention absolutely in Shoup'S control, but the assurance he was given that a Southeastern Alaska man would not be acceptable to the remainder of the fact that the First district now has nearly everything else, induced him to withdraw. He was particularly in censed at Youngs and Ryan however, because they told him that he could not expect strong support in their dis tricts and therefore named Murane as an unpalatable dose to Ryan.
 Had the Youngs and Ryan votes been admitted they would have con- trolled the convention. They had 69 votes between them and the conven- tion contained only 13O delegates, as the Panama was not represented. The 6g votes would therefore have been a majority and would have nominated Youngs for the short term and Ryan for the long term.
 Mir. Youngs speaks pleasantly of Judge Muraue, the nominee.

JUDGE HILDRETH SAYS
 HIS RECORD IS 0PEN
Late Commissioner Challenges Griti- cism of Official Conduct in
 This Precinct.

Judge Hildreth, late commissioner of Kenai precinct, challenges any attack upon the conduct of the office during his incumbency and says his record is open to inspection and criticism from any,somce. He affirms that his resig- nation was in the hands of Judge Wickersham many months ago, ten dered on account of his desire to de- vote his time to private interests, and in evidence of the fact he cites a copy of letter to Judge Wickersham in his letter press book, dated November 22, 1905. In the letter Judge Hildreth says:
 "I feel that I cannot hold the posi- tion of commissioner after the first of the year, or as soon thereafter as you can make another appointment. I can make more looking after my mining properties and other business. In fact | have been offered a better position as far as salary goes than the commis- sionership is paying.
 q sincerely appreciate what you have done for me, and for the appoint ment, and hope that may be able to show my appreciation in more sub stantial way than words at some future time

 The bimetallists are satisfied with present conditions, the un- precedented production of gold having given an increased volume of money. which was all the bimetallists wanted.
 Speaking of the trust investiga- tions he said they had revealed conditions which the people should have known years ago.

Bryan paced the platform nerv- ously. Hearst occupied box and Sullivan was also present.
 Bryan talked for an hour and a half with the crowd cheering fre- quently. When he announced that he had been converted to the principle of government owner ship of railroads the audience broke into cheers for Hearst. The only discord in the meeting was when Bryan said that the man who made the statement ''that trusts were economic growtbs and had come to stay" was helping social- ism. A voice from the audience cried "three chrees for socialism. but he was hissed down.
 The speaker said that he re- turned from other lands thankful that providence had cast his lot with the United States. and with an increased love for our form of government. His trip impressed him with our responsibilities while we must be students and learn the good things from other countries, we are also teachers of other nations. He says he brings home message of peace, the sen- timents of all nations favoring the Hague tribunal and avoidance of the use of navies for the collection of debts. This practice retards American development and pro- gress, the smaller nations fearing to allow American capital to invest with them on account of the possi- bility of international trouble.
 He says the United States has lost prestige with other countries by its attempted colonialism. His tour of the Philippines convinced him that the government should lose no time announcing it's pur- pose of dealing with the Philip. pinos as it did with the people of Cuba.
 It is his idea that the European governments legislative depart ment are quicker to respond to public sentiment than our Con- gress. which does not meet for !
 thirteen months after the election of any party. It would be an inn provement if constitutional amendment was adopted requiring Congress to meet a few months after election and avoid the long periods of uncertainty regarding business policy. He. says he has returned more convinced than ever of the justice of the direct primary election of senators. All countries he visited demand that the gov ernment be closer to the people. i He regards the income tax as just and considers it disgrace that in time of war we use the army an1 navy for the purpose of protecting the wealth Of the country yet can not in case of emergency compel the wealth of the country to stand their share of the burden of sup porting the government.

We want new legislation; license corporations in every state and revoke license for violation of law; prevent corpora tions in monopoly uiiug the mails.
