not agree upon him. After the con
vention reconvened and it had received
the report that the Third division had
| not agreed, an adjournment was taken
for the noon hour to avoid further
, trouble.
Nome Favor* One Del cite
During the noon recess, from 1
o'clock until 2, the delegates tried to
get together, but the efforts were una
vailing. At once upon the reassembl
ing of the convention, Sheppard, of St.
Michael, otTered an amendment to the
Price resolution, striking out the pro
vision for three delegates and inserting
one providing for a single representa
tive.
In support of his amendment Shep
pard said one delegate would be seated
by congress while three wou'd be re
garded as a boarJ. He urged that
three delegates probably would not be
able to agree on matters that would
cjme up before congress for action.
Sheppard Starts Trouble
Sheppard started the turmoil again
by declaring, in the course of his
speech in favor of one delegate, that i
the Second division came into the con
vention politically divided on the ques
tion of a candidate for the judiciary.
At the mention of this Hughes, of
Fairbanks, was on his feet at once, pre
testing against the parliamentary con
duct and personalities of the speaker.
Chairman Swineford called Sheppard
down.
Continuing his speech, Sheppard stid
the attitude of the second division had
a tendency to debase and drag down the
judiciary.
Seward Leader Hu Tilt With
Sheppard
John G. Ballaine, at ihe head of the
Seward delegation, asked Sheppard if
I HI I - Iff 11
he were willing In the in' erst of har
mony and for the purpose of having
only one delegate to elect a man from
Southeastern Alaska.
Sheppard declined to discuss the
point, saying that it would be improper
to indicate where a delegate should be
from in advance of the elecLion.
Prioo M?kn Sproch
Price, of Skagway. said it was unfair
to make Southeastern Alaska, which
was on the floor of the convention, j
harmonious and united ou all things,
the fighting ground of conflicting fac
tions which were divided on matters
that were of no concern to the first
division. He said It was slso not right
to drag Southeastern Alaska into the
fight to settle others' local affairs. He
thought the fair way to settle the mat
ter was for each of tho divisions to have
a delegate. By that menr.s the delega
tion would be harmonious in the great
fundamental questions th. t. concern all
the people of the district nd it would
leave the local interests to fight out
their own local questions in whatever
manner as seemed to then best.
Frirbanks Fight U> A Rain
The Fairbanks row wa interjected
into the proceedings ag n by Judge
Hutchinson, who said he i id not been
allowed to vote in theeauc is, which, he
said, had practiced gag 1 ;w. He de
manded that the conventi i rule on the
question as to whether he nada right to
vote his proxies as he saw tit His re
quest was declared to be o it of order.
"The proxy question, " .?-.lidthe chair
nnn, ' was settled when the report ol
the committee on credentials was
adopted."
Conv ntion S stuic* Price
The convention, seeing that there
was no longer any chance to settle the
controversy by debate, began calling
for the question. A vote was soon
reached on the Sheppard amendment
for one delegate and it was defeated.
The Price resolution was then adopted.
Wlokerahum the Bona of Contention
The delegates from the first and
second divisions say the difficulties of
the convention all resulted over the
fight amongithe delegates from the third
divisiou over the questlor. of the reap
apointment of Judge Wickjrsham.
There was opposition to Judge Wick
ersham from Nome also. Several of j
those who were Ryan men sa'.d they
would have been willing to support
Johanson from the beginning but they
believed he was pledged to Judge
Wickersham.
No news of resolutions adpoted at a
Fairbanks meeting, opposing the re
appointment of Judge Wickersham,
was permitted to reach the convention
at the afternoon session.
As soon as he saw the convention
would probably elect more than one
delegate, Ryan, of Nome, has favored
the election of three.
