ed recently in the Seattle Times,
Frank H. Foster, prominent Cor- !
dova attorney and member of:
the Alaska Legislature, will be'
a candidate in the next Territor
ial election for delegate to con- (
gress. The story follows:
Alaska’s delegate to congress
who succeeded James Wicker
sham’s seat a decade ago and has
things pretty much his own way
in succeeding campaigns, will
have a fight on his hands next
year, if the word that comes
down from the North is verified
at filing time.
Frank H. Foster of Cordova,
member of the Alaska Legisla
ture. is declared to be ready to
get into the fight against the pre
sent delegate and to have formi- j
dable backing in the southeastern
part of the Territory. He demon- j
strated his power in the Valdez
district by his election to the j
Legislature.
The present delegate was elect- j
ed from Fairbanks, and whether
he will have any trouble in the
Interior or in the Nome district!
is not made clear by Alaska gos
sip. It is said by the Foster fol
lowing that the delegate has been

Seattle interpret this to mean

I of Territorial leaders who wish

happy result.
Foster has been practicing law
in Alaska since 1911, but he was
born in Seattle on the present
site of the Railway Exchange
Building, at Second Avenue and
Cherry Street, about 1880. He
was educated in the Territorial
schools.
Later on Foster drifted into
Eastern Washington and for a
time was county clerk in Okanog
on County. He came back during
the campaign of 1910 and Philip
Tworoger, who was then secre
tary of the King County Repub
lican committee, made Foster his
assistant. Shortly after the cam
paign Foster went to Alaska to
practice law7 and has remained
there since.
