TOMCALE IS BEING JOBBED
Announcement That lie has Withdrawn stamped As a Falsehood and
Wholly Without Warrant? Corson Crowd Takes Cowardly Advantage
ot Man Detained at Bedside of Sick Wife and Daughter? His Friends
Rally to His Support and Will See Him Throuoh to a Successful Finish.
(Special Dispatch to The Daily Alaskan)
Seattle, July 10? The report published a
few days ago in the Seattle Times to the ef
fect that Cale had withdrawn from the race
for the delegateship was without any founda
tion whatever and was a palpable falsehood.
I last evening received a telegram from Mr.
Cale in response to one from me making in
quiry as to the truth of the announcement in
the Times. Mr. Cale's wire is as lollows:
A. E- Light, Seattle? "Owing to the very !
serious illness of my wife it will be impossible j
for me to go to Alaska to take part in the
camyaign at this time as I had intended. My
friends must take charge until later.
(Signed) THOMAS CALE.
In another message Mr. Cale says that not
only his wife in Fond du Lac but his daugh
ter in Dakota is very sick and both are beer
ging him to be with them. He has been com
pelled to travel back and forward between
the two places and so has been out of com
munication with his friends, and his secre
tary and is apparently not aware of what is
going on here in Alaska.
The friends of Mr, Cale who are here de
clare that while they could wish that he
might be on the ground, that people might
see him and hear what he may have to tell
them, they propose to see him through the
campaign- The announcement that Cale had
withdrawn was made by the supporters of
Corson lor political purposes and was nothing
more than a trick- employed to take advant
age of a man detained at the bedside of a sick
wife
Mr. Cale says he is in the field to stay, and
t^at, in deference to his friends who have
been lending him support he could not do
otherwise. He greatly regrets he cannot
leave his family for he would like to be in the
fight. A. E. LIG-HT,

CALE STILL IN THE FIGHT
(United Frets Telegraph-Cable Servlae.)
Seattle, July 10 ? Cale is still in the fight despite all
reports to the contrary. His secretary, A. E. Light, lias
received a letter from him saying that his wife i* seriously
ill and that he is prevented from coming to engage in the
campaign. Cale's friend* here are very indignant over the
publication of the story of his withdrawal, and are taking
active measures to counteract the effect of the falsehood.
IDE UNANIMOUS
Denver, July 10? Bryan was nominated by I. J. Dunn
of Nebrska, Johnson by Representative Hammond and
Judge Gray by Levin Handy, former congressman from
Delaware. Bryan received 892 A, Gray 59$, Johnson 40.
It was made unanimous.
AN ALASKAN PLANK
The plattonn contains the following plank: "We de
mand for the people of Alaska the full enjoyment of the i
rights and privileges of a territorial form of government, 1
and that all officials appointed should be qualified by pre
vious bona fide residence. "
THE EFFECTlf FAIRBANKS
Special Diipatcb to the Daily Alaskan '
Fairbanks, July 10 ? The withdrawal of Cale and
Wickersham has resulted in aligning the parties against one
another. Glum is not taken seriously and he will likely
withdraw. Ronan has not much strength here. Corson
held a well attended meeting last night. It seems likely
he will will secure a good deal of Cale's strength. McGinn
starts for Skagway and southeastern Alaska to eilain the
situation. Chauncey Boyer.

Denver, July 10 ? Bryan was nominated at 2:18 this

monstration took place similar to that of Wedneiday.
Bryan heard the entire proceedings at his home at Lincoln,
Nebraska, over the long distance telephone.
