PRICE 10 CENT8
Junem. Nov. 14 ? Every delegation in Alaska is al
ready represented at the Republican convention except^
Skagway. The advent of the Lynn Canal delegates is ex
pected at noon today.
Ryan. Colonel Steel and Perkins control thirty-seven
votes from the Second Division. Tozier. of Fairbanks with,
Richie. Youngs, McKenzie and Sheldon are 011 the ground
with about twenty-eight votes and seven votes from Cleary
o^er which there will be a contest before the committee on
credentials. This gives the northern and interior combi
nation sixty five votes and with the six and possible eight
votes from Skagway and the one from Haines the practical
control of the convention. Ketchikan will arrive with sev
en votes and the delegation will undoubtedly combine with
the control. It is now estimated that when the convention
meets today, that there will be one hundred and thirty-five
votes represented. Hoggatt workers are striving hard to
head off the condemnation resolutions but insist on beatiug
Wickersham and have formed a combination between Wran
gel, Juneau and Douglas Island, with Dodge of Fairbanks
and Corson of Xome.fDouglas Island now threatens to drop
out of this combination on account of its friendliness to
Wickersham. If a compromise is effected Wickersliam will
withdraw from the contest and Tozier will be the national
committeeman. If no compromise can be effected the con
vention will split over territorial government. The forces
of Hoggatt and Wickersliam and the delegations from all
judicial divisions are split over the selections of delegates
not having been able to come to conclusions in any of the
caucusses. The Ryan combination controls the Second Di
vision, Tozier the Third and Shackleford the First. This
control only maintains, however, upon the question of dele
gates to the convention. The convention will convene at 2
o'clock today when a temporary organization will probably
be effected and an adjournment taken until evening.
