Seattle, Nov. 10? A strong fight will <
be made in the coming Alaskan conven
tion against holding any more conven
tions outside of the district of Alaska.
Two Seward peninsula and other Third
f division delegates favor holding the
next convention in the winter time.
S:nce the declination of Judge Wick
| ersham to permit his name to be con
sidered as a delegate, which was re
peated today, speculation is rife as to
who will win out. It is alleged that R.

and that he will probably fail.
W. T. Perkins, of Nome, and W. B.
Hoggstt, of Juneau, are the only candi
dates for governor.
