On election night all four candi
dates for the delcgateahip were as
sembled in Nome. When asked for
an expression of thnir opinion on
the results, they gave out the fol
lowing opinions.
Gilmore attributes hi* defeat In
the Taiiana valley to the appoint
ment of Attorney Fuller to the fed
eral benrh of the Foorth division.1
He believes the appointment has
prejudiced the Tananaltes against
the administration and against Nome
Jennings has little to say regard- J
ing the result of the election. He
appears to have been greatly sitr-!
prised by the vote, and says he
can not understand It.
Krauczunna is the least disap
pointed of the four He declares
that the vote cast for him proves
beyond a doubt what may be ac
complished by 'he Socialists at a
later election.
