COPPER NOLL IS CONFIDENT
A letter was received on this boat
from Judeg Wm. 1). Coppernoll, who
at pre.ent is in Juneau, stating that
'e had been assured of good support
in tiie First division, but that the
present attorney general was backed
strongly by Delegate Sutherland and
the Indian vote, and that his majority
depended largely on the latter vote.
Mr. Coppernoll stated that if Rust
gard did not beat him more than 200
to 300 in the First that he (Copper
aril) would be elected, but it the del
egate’s Influence carried much weight
that Rustgard might carry the First by
more. He says the sole doubt lies in
the Indian vote. Some estimate it at
400 and others from 700 to 800. The
question remains whether or not the
whites or the Scandinavians and In
dians or 10 predominate.
Judge Coppernoll will leave for
Skagway and Wrangell on April 8th.
He will reach Ketchikan about the
13th and will remain there until after
the primaries.
Judge (.opp-'inoli says he will get a
good majority in Ketchikan.
