Wickersham Enthusiasm Fills the Largest Hall in Nome on the Eve of Election
Second Division Certain for W ickersham? Third Division Two

Special Dispatch to the Dally Alaskin
Valdez, Aug, 11? The railroad forces at
Cordova are spending money like water
Everybody is being urged to line up for
Corson. There is- notwithstanding, a strong
leeling for Wickersham and it is expected
that he will stand a fair chance to carry
even the railroad camps, as the men are
fretting under the domination of the bosses
and many declare they will not stand for it
Special Dispatch to The Dally Alaskan
Fairbanks, Aug. 11.- Twenty enthusiastic telegrams j
bring the story here of last night's meeting at Nome,
a record meeting in all the history of Alaska; rhe greatest '
gathering ever kuown in the district. Eagle hall, the larg
est in Nome, and perhaps the largest in Alaska, was packed
by a yelling ciowd while hundreds outside, jammed about j
the doors and windows, echoed the enthusiasm within. i
Wickersham for an hour scored Corson for his unfair
nethods and misrepresentation throughout the campaign.
L'lie enthusiasm was contagious and the town yelled itself
loarse till after midnight.
Wickersham is sure of a large plurality in the second
division. Corson is really not a factor there.
The Ronan support is confined to a few democrats that
nsist upon being "regular," while the labor vote is split
ip by the desire of a part of it to support Chilberg.
Fairbanks, A us* 11. ? At !'0X City, 11
miuinf? camp here, an attempt was
made to hold a Corson medio* [ast
nl.'ht but ii wound up with three lusty
cheers for Wickersham. The only
chance for Corson to get votes here is
through the crookedness of the Okla
homa bunch. Citlz-ns nre determined
to make a finish tight of it.
