SOUTHEASTERN DELEGATES
HOLD KEV
Nome and Fairbanks Evenly Balanced and
Those From Panhandle Have Balance of
Power? One Delegate to Be Elected
'special Dispatches to Daily Alaskan.)
Seattle, Nov. 16? The southeastern
Alaskan delegates seem to have the ,
balance of power in the Alaskan con
vention that is in session here. Most
of them arrived on the Dolphin this
morning. At .he various caucuses last
night it was decided to have but one j
delegate in congress. This will be ad
hered to unless southeastern Alaska
desires it otherwise. In that event
there may 1 e two or more delegates.
Fairbanks acd the Tanai>a delegations
are doing all in their power to get ;
southeastern Alaska to act.
The tight is centering upon the selec
tion of the delegate to congress. Nome
has Dick liyan as a candidate and
Fairbanks is urging Carl M. Johanson.
If the (Fairbanks crowd shall be suc
cessful in swinging southeastern Alaska
in line for Johanson he will probably
be elected.
Samuel Archer.of Nome, is temporary
chairman of the convention and Albert j
H. Fitz, of Council, temporary secre- j
tary. They will probably be made [
permanent Th? convention will coi-|
vene this afternoon at 2 o'clock.
The delegates are wrangling over
proxies. The majority of those on
the ground declare that no one who is
not a member of the convention will be
allowed to vote. If this proposition
shall carry then many proxies may
have to be turned over to delegates in
the convention by wire.
R. E. R\an has by no means giveo
up the tight. Just as the convention
convened, at 2 o'clock this afternoon,
he said he would resume the light at
once and he believes he has enough
votes to win out.
The Southeastern Alaska delegates
are preparing to caucu:- and vote as a
unit in the convention.
It is likely that the convention will
not mention the governorshir. Inas
much as the pres'dent is now investi
gating Gov. Brady it is thought it
might be construed as an insult to him
or that it might offend some of the sen
ators at Washington and injure other
measures.
The resolutions memorializing con
gress to allow Alaska representation in
congress will ba passed unanimously
this afternoon. Nome's resolut on
changirg assessment on mining claims
to a $2i tax will be passed.
