rice T. Johnson of Ketchikan: and
J. E. Johnson of Fairbanks were
made alternates.
Capt. A. E. Lathrop, Fairbanks
business man, was named Na
tional Committeeman with J. S.
McKinnon of Juneau as Territor
ial Chairman.
Meanwhile, at Fairbanks 10 in
terior Alaska Republican leaders
denounced the Party leadership
of Albart White of Juneau and
went ahead with plans for still
a thicl Republican “rank and file”
i convention at Mount McKinley
National Park June 5.
The statement signed by 10
Republican leaders in the Fair
banks area said in part: "The
naming of Sitka as the convention
city was an indication that White
didn’t want the Republicans in
Alaska to have a chance to be
heard. It is easier to get to Point
; Barrow on the Arctic Ocean from
almost any place in Alaska than
to get to Sitka.”
I “The White party leadership
i fixed the convention date on a
weekend when there were no
! boats running to Sitka and gave
1 little public notice that the con
vention gathering was to be held.
The only notice received by the
Fourth Division Republicans was
i a clipping from a Juneau paper
J announcing the convention call.
| Sixty proxies sent from the Fourth
Division were ignored by the Sit
ka convention where only 78 votes
were recorded to represent the
thousands in the Party through
out the territory.
“We feel it is high time to
put a stop to the despotism in
the Republican Party fostered by
and promoted by Albert White.”
Republicans in the Fourth Div
ision are holding caucuses to el
ect delegates for the McKinley
convention.
j NOME—At the Second Division
caucus last evening the repres
entatives chose W. W. Laws and
Charles D. Jones, both of Nome
as their delegates to meet at the
special Republican convention at
Mount McKinley National Park
in June.
The delegates will receive final
commitments of the Division at
a meeting called for June 4th. in
