UW HOT FIGHTS ON
Alaskan convention at Seattle develop
ing into a warm political contest
Conflict between Nome and other see*
tions of the district
(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.)
Seattle, Nov. 15 ? Alaskan politics are occupying the attention of the people of
Seattle just now. The convention will convene this afternoon. The first fight will be
over the chairman of the convention. The second will come over the question of a dele
gate to Washington.
The Northwestern delegations caucused last night at the Butler hotel and appointed
a steering committee consisting of Col. Perkins. H. V. Bean, Charles Barron, A. Z.
Watson and John Carson to confer with others and see if an organization could not be
perfected without a fight.
Nome wants one delegate and if that be granted lie will be Dick Ryan, who was a
delegate from the Nome chamber of commerce last winter. That city also wants the law
changed so there shall be a tax of ?25 on each placer claim, per annum, instead of
assessment work, the proceeds of the tax to go into a road fund. Nome also wants
Dudley Dubose for chairman of the platform and resolutions committee and John Carson
for chairman of the committee on credentials. It offers to support Gov. Swineford, of
Ketchikan, for chairman of the convention. The latter refuses to accept the place, so I
the questions will all be fought out in the convention.
The southwestern Alaskan delegates, from Valdez, Seward and elsewhere also! '
caucussed last night. They exhibited some opposition to Dick Ryan for delegate to j
Washington. They agreed to support Sam Archer, of Nome, for chairman of the con-,
vention.
The Northwestern delegations want to interject the candidacy of Col. W. T. , ?
Perkins, for governor, into the fight, but the southwestern delegates say that inasmuch as 1
Gov. Brady is being investigated by the department at Washington, the convention should
leave the matter alone.
The delegates from Southeastern \laska will probably join with those from Fair
banks and the Tanana and support Carl M. Johanson for delegate to congress.
The Southeastern Alaskan delegations are in a minority and will remain so until
the arrival of the Dolphin, which is expected at 3 o'clock.
