Men Selected by the Last Territorial Conven
tion to Consider Question of Non
Partisan Nominating Convention
A meeting of the Alaska Territorial
Central Committee, which was selected
by the Alaskan convention at Seattle
last November, has been called to take
place at Skagwav, Saturday, May 26.
for the purpose of considering the ad
visability of calling anon-par'isan con
vention to nomiuate candidates for j
delegates to congress to be voted for at ,
the coming Alaskan election, and for ?
the pur*K>*e of apportioning delegates j
^ d issuing the call if such action shal
?je decided to be proper.
With reference to,his action in this
matter the chairman of the committee
makes the^oilowing statement:
"In making this call it is not the in*
tentioaof the chairman of the com
mittee to attempt to forestall the re
publican or democratic organizations or
ao.v other organization or authority
from providing conventions or nomina
ting tickets to be voted for at the elec
tion for delegate to congress nest
August.
J "Among the purposes for which this
J committee was organized was the duty
to provide for a future convention when
ever in its judgement the public inter
ests of Alaska would be served by one.
The chairman of the committee feels
that the question as to whether or not
the committee should provide for a con
vention at this time is one for its mem
bers to determine. They cannot do that
very well except at a meeting of the
committee, and the committee cannot
meet except upon call of the chairman.
Hence the issusnce of the call became a
duty."

by the i're. The United States trans
port Sherman was afire in its rigging
and pulled into the stream wheie the
fires were quenched, doing slight dam
ace to the vessel. The Corwin, lying
at the dock and all ready for Nome, was
saved only after a hard fight. The
masts and riguing of the French ship
Daniel were destroyed before the fires
aboard her were put out. .

DfLEtM CONGRESS
Nome Man's Friends Boost Him for Alaska's
Representative at National Capitol
Nominations To Be By Petition
(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.)
Seattle, May 7.? Dick Ryan will be
candidate for delegate to congress from
Alaska at the election next August. At
least he is being boosted for that posi
tion by the faction which supported I
him at the convention last fall. They j
declare that his nomination will be;
made by petition and that they will not
wait for action by any convention, pat
tisan or otherwise. The Ryan men ]
hcpe to divide the vote of the Tauan
where they say the appointment of
Judge Wickersham has split the peo
ple into (actions.
It is figured here that the vote of
Orca will be large at the coming elec
tion, as, under the interpretation of
the law arrived at by lawyers, those
who had established a residence in Al
aska are legally qualified voters wheth
er they spent last year in the district
or not.
