Cordova., July 2 ? The Cordova
Alaskan's representation which has
been sent broadcast to the effect
that the citizens of Cordova had ex
tensively <signt<d petitions asking
j Delegate Wickersham to withdraw
in favor of Gilmore, is absolutely
false. Gilmore s committeemen af
j ter covering the field concede that
i Wickersham will carry Seward,
| Knick, Kenai, Hope, Sunrise and
| Susitna.
Latest reports from Ruby and
I Iditarod Indicate that Wickersham
I will carry by large plurality.
The Gilmore rally at Nome was
; a Joke. Only forty-seven were
j present and they constituted the
! federal employees and the Guggen
heim followers. They rounded up
| all the henchmen and after pad
I ding the rolls wired to Wickersham
tasking him to withdraw in favor of
| Gilmore.
The report that Ritchie and Mor
j ford have come out for Gilmore is
j false as the rest of the canard.
The same old agglomeration of
grabbers that swept Orr to defeat
at the last election are resurrecting
the same old tactics which is to
i place Gilmore in the also ran
