WESTWARD MEN
Charles E. Herron, published of the
Anchorage Times, and Ed. H. Whltte
tnore, of Seward, who attended the
Republican convention at Valdez, re
turned to Cordova with the delegation
from this city.
Both gentlemen are greatly impres
sed with the prosperity of Cordova,
which is evident to any visitor.
Herron always has taken a promi
nent part in the Republican party in
Alaska, and was temporary chair
man of the convention at Valdez which
endorsed Wickersham.
Speaking of the action of the con
vention this morning, Herron said:
"The convention at Valdez did only
that which was demanded of it by the
Republicans of the territory. Previ
ous to the Seward convention Eewis
Shackleford and his supporters in
southeastern Alaska, instituted a cam
paign to nominate Wickersham at that
convention.
"This campaign was successfully
carried out, so much so, that upon the
failure of the convention to go through
and name James Wickersham, it be
came more insistent, and the Valdez
convention was forced, in the interest
of harmony in its own ranks, to ful
fill the promises made by Shackleford
prior to the Seward convention."
Herron was met in Cordova by his
son, Willard, who is a through pas
senger on the Alaska, bound for An
chorage, and will take the boat for his
home town tonight. Whlttemore also
will return on the Alaska to Seward.
