The news from Nome that Hugh
O'Neill Is backed by the Democrats of
that place for the attorneyship of thp|
territory has been followed by letters
and exchanges from other places tell
ing that many other attorneys of the
territory are mentioned as probable'
candidates for the place. The story ,
from Nome, by the way, also showed j
that the Democrats there are for
Grigsby for delegate and Sulzer for
national committeeman, and they are
two very strong men. From Juneau
comes word that John Rustgard. for
merly district attorney, is out for the
attorneyship. He is a Republican,
and so is George Irving, who is also
mentioned as an aspirant for the hon
or and emoluments. In the Fairbanks
division Tom McGovern Is spoken of
for the position. He is attorney for
the Northern Commercial Company.
Tj. V. Ray is mentioned as the likely
candidate from the Third division, but
Mr. Ray declines to say anything
about it personally. O'Neill is a
young attorney, who went to Nome
only two or three years ago. He is
a close political friend of Grigsby.
The remarkable thing about this at
torney generalship is that the man
who holds the job may be called upon
to decide whether he is entitled to his
salary or not. It is the opinion of
many that the territorial legislature
did not have the power to provide for
an attorney general, and the fact that
Delegate AVickersham has introduced
a bill in Congress to create the office,
rather shows that be also suspects that
the territorial bill was ultra vires, to
use a legal phrase while we are
speaking of attorneys at all.
AA’hile on the subject it may be said
that the action of the Nome Demo
crats in putting forward Grigsby for
the delegateship and Sulzer for com
mitteeman throws a bright light on
politics far removed from us. It in
dicates clearly that the Nome people
recoguize Sulzer as a formidable op

or delegate, and they have thrown

s only a candidate for the commit
eetnanship, but rumors are that he is
jut for delegate. Whatever one says

CONDITIONS AT
ANCHORAGE
UNCHANGED
I>ntest advices from Anchorage say
that the labor eondltions there remain
unchanged, but that there is a feeling
of uneasiness among the workers,
which is beginning to manifest itself.
In nddltion to the tracklayers and
carpenters, the teamsters in the em
ploy of the engineering commission
have struck, and although they were
offered $75 per month and board, they
refused to go back to work. Private
transportation companies in Anchor
age are paying $90 per month and
board.
To add to the commission's difficul
ties (lie cable being out of commission,
has prevented the officials from get
ting into communication with Chair
man Edes in regard to the wage dis
putes In the meantime mild weather
lias set in and it is feared that the
trails will break up before supplies
can lie sent into the Matanuska sec
tion, and that the work may possibly
be delayed another year.
