WICKERSW III SKAGWAY
At 1:15 this afternoon there had been
110 votes cast, of which It is believed
fully ninety per cent were for Wicker
sham. Great Interest Is manifested.
Many willing workers havo boen boost
ing the cause of Judge Wiclcersham
from the opening of the polls.
Mr. Britt,named as one of the judges
of election, being out of town, Mr. .Tack
Ke! her was nominated by the electors
at the polls at the hour of opening and
he was unanimously elected.
Mr. Chris Shea acted as watcher at
the polls on behalf of Corson having
the authority duly signed by Mr. Corson'
himself. Henry Rosenthil acted In the
same capacity for Judge Wlckersham.
Mr. Green looked out for the interests
of Mr Chilberg. There was no duly
constituted wa'cher for Ronan. Many
raters were challenged but all who
offered themselves took the prescribed
oath and the ballots were cast in every
instance. The voting was done quietly.
Teams were out carrying the more
negligent of the voters to the polls?
the only teams being Wickersham
teams.
Some boys were about the streets
bearing banners in lonesome and almost
pathetic fashion wearing legends:
"Don't Be a Mugwump? vote for Ro
nan." But, as. everybody looked like
a mugwump if that meant a Wicker
sham voter.
Arrangemrnts have been made to
have the cable office remain open a*.d
returns will be received tonight at The
Alaskan office.

rality, but it is unavtling. The people
are arouse<l to the tact that IIogKatt
domination mint be defeated at this
election for the future weifaroof Al
aska and Alaskan;).
Nomeites arriviug here on the last
boat are confident that Wickersham

COjd plurality.
The Times yesterday accuses Wick
ersham of employing Grant Murdock
to go before the last grand jury to have

tation. Murdock answers this today
with a signed statement that it was
Ju age Reid that so employed him for
the purpose of hooking Tom Marquam
and W, G. Mogeau.
