JUNEAU’S POPULAR SON
The Seattle-Alaska Democratic lead
ers considered and discarded one after
another men who were likely to have
strength with the masses in Alaska,
but they could come to no decision with
reference to the particular man who
was to have the honor of an election in
August next. In the meantime there
was one man of high attainments and
exceptional energy who decided that
he wanted the Democratic nomination.
He didn’t ask anybody’s permission to
run, but just started in to notify his
numerous friends that he was an avow
ed candidate and desired their sup
port. An to his letters he signed the
name of Robert W. Jennings, of Ju
neau.
And then of a sudden it began to
dawn upon the leaders that their work
of seeking a candidate of strength was
at an end. The people of the terri
tory were declaring themselves, and it
was soon evident that the popular son
was the lawyer and orator of Juneau.
Ed Dunn alreardy says that there is
nothing more to it but the counting of
the vote. His particular friend, A. J.
Daly has the proxy for the Nome dele
gation of forty, and as Ed is working
for the re-election of Daly as national
committeeman it is only natural to
presume that he knows how those sol
id forty votes will be cast for dele
gate. Then Jennings will undoubted
ly receive the solid vote from South
eastern Alaska. He is also favorably
known in our own country of the South
west, and the Seward Gateway and
A'aldez Prospector have indicated that
he is pretty solid in those towns. He
has many friends in Cordova, while
the probabilities are that he will re
ceive loyal support in Fairbanks,
where he has been several times in con
nection with his profession.
So at this writing it looks as though
Mr. Jennings would have the unani
mous nomination of his convention.
He has resided in Alaska for probably
fifteen years, has never been attorney
for the corporations, and -is a man of
unimpeachable character and exception
al ability. It is a pleasure to note the
candidacy of a man of his type. Should
Mr. Wickersham decline to again be a
candidate, and the Republican conven
tion nominate a man of strength and
ability, as it undoubtedly will, what
ever should be the result of the contest
Alaska would be the gainer and have
a representative at Washington who
would get results.—Cordova Alaskan.

the Good News Bay country. The trip
will mean a walk of over 1200 miles in
length and a stay of about a year.
McLean and Campbell will travel
light, taking along neither dogs nor
food. They plan to walk sufficiently
far each day to insure a stopping place
at some roadhouse or wood chopper’s
cabin each night.—Fairbanks News
