SEW VRI>. ALASKA. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7, 1915.
Of all the towns in the territory that voted for city councils yesterday
there was not a single one that did not ha>e its own bitter opposition to some
candidates. In each city people seemed to think that the election of some
indi>idual or the rejection of another meant almost everything in the world
for the time being although an Alaskan town is only a village in a country
whose location is probably not known to fifty per cent of the people of the
world.
The legislature was expected to have a fight yesterday over the question
as to whether it should recommend for Alaska statehood or increased ter
ritorial powers. It looks rather premature at this particular time to ask for
statehood. With the building of the railroad and the greater development at
hand a very large population increase may be expected. W hen that increase*
comes statehood will soon follow. The number of the people are really the
things that count in politics. Yet. of course*. there is no harm in passing a
resolution. The only question about that resolution is that twenty-four men
in the legislature cannot be regarded as the voice of the whole population.
They would he rightly so had they received the mandate of the people on
the matter, but they did not. They did not even try to secure the opinion
of the general public as to whether statehood or greater territorial powers
are required. Even they themselves are divided, and this very division add
ed to the fact that the people did not directly speak will probably render
their resolution futile anyhow. No doubt they have the best intentions in
the world. There is no heedless criticism of them intended, but the people
will be the deciding factor in matters of such large importance.
No man defeated in the election for the city council should feel person
ally offended. Considerations that entered into the contest had nothing to
do with a man's private qualities or anything else. I he reason why a man
does no vote for another is not quite clear in most cases but he votes in the
majority of cases just as a temporary inclination takes him. 1 he psychology
of voting is worth a lot of study It shows the eccentric qualities of human
nature.
The city council elected for the coming year is apparently a good one.
Some of the men defeated would also have been good councilmen. 1 he man
who is elected one day might have been rejected another day and vice versa.
The cause of victory or defeat in a municipal election in a small town is a
mighty slight matter.
