Special Dispatch to The Dti!y ANskan
Fairbanks, Aug., 1. ? Dr. S. Hall Young of the Pres
byterian church has just returned from a tonr of the
creeks preparatory to his departure for Nome and other
northern points to resume missionary work. l)r. Young is
pledged politically to the cause of Major Clmn and was a
member of the committee having in charge the Clum cam
paign. Prior to his leaving on the tour of the creeks he
was asked to ascertain the strength cf their candidate in
the Xanana valley. He relnnctantlv admits that he foiind
on all his trip only one or two men who will vote for Clum
and few who will vote for Ronan or Corson. lie figures it
up that Wickersham will poll 80 per cent of the vote in the
valley, that C'hilberg will have 10 per cent, Ronan about f>
per cent and Corson 5. He regrets the lack of Clum votes.
The Clum committee waited on the Fairbanks News
the other day and demanded the return of $500 which the
committee put up for the support of Clum. They got noth
ing. The story leaked out aud has created great amuse
ment at the expense of the Clum party and the truth of it
is now admitted by Dr. Young. ?
Corson in dire extremities, his promised the postmast
ership here in case of his election, to four prominent
citizens. Whitey Moore formerly member of the Soapy
Smith gang is in the employ of Corson canvassing the
creeks in his interest.
Advices from the west coast give Wickersham Valdez,
Seward, the mining camps ot Cooks inletand even Cordova.
There are said to be 400 legal voters at Cordova and these
are nearly unanimous for Wickersham. The report of in
tention* on the part of Corson heelers to vote illegal votes
at the railroad camps is repeated but the polls will be
watched and illegal voting will be prosecuted.
Nome is organizing a Wickersham club which will give
him an enthusiastic reception upon his arrival and hearty
support, to the close of the polls. Many telegrams have been
received here from strong Xomeites urging the judge to
hurry along there aud meet Corson on the platform.
