Capt James Carroll. who was q passenger

Cays. Carroll although Democrat. WAS
a interested spectator AZ the primaries.
and says me fight was one OF she hottest
he has ever seen He attaches a great
deal OF importance TO the presence At
Juneau Of a View York politician. who put
in an appearance a short time before the
primaries ard made himself known and
felt. Cart Carroll could not remember
this mans name bu; says he u satisfied
that he was sent 70 Alaska b. Flatf or
some other big New York manager. Cpon
his arrival in the little mining town he a
once set about to End who was who. and
also 10 acqualnt himself with the list Of

yen'ion. take into consideration the IA
~o-ahie feeling evincesi towards straight
Rspubficanism In the districts outside Of

Tho two men who ssem 20 be the choice
Of tho Independents for delegates 20 ST.
Louis are c. W. Young and c. S Biacket.,
the latter seeming to be especially friendly
with tho mysterious politician from the
East Asctaer booster and active worker
for the Independents was Harry Ash. who
keeps variety theafer In juneau. He
more than voted men. and "a did not matter
much Whistler they had been residents for
the specified time or not. just so they were
Of age. understand men were voted for
that ticket that had not been In town ten
days. and who did not expect to remain
that much longer.
ut reminded me Of the story told on a
government official who was ordered to
purchase 20 mules for the government at
Eureka. Humboldt county. Cal. He had
q yard with gAtcs on each side and sta
toned himself at the foremost one with
. book In which he entered the animals and
kept count. The man who sold the mules
led them In one at a time. and a. fast as
they were accepted took them out the other
gate and around again. He had twenty
hva mules and led each one around ten
times. This IL about the way men were
voted In Juneau"
The eleven delegates elected on the In
dependent ticket at Juneau and the vote
each received were: Frank Young. ~

IL Was reported at Douglas City that the
holding OF the caucus by certain per-
sons pretending 10 represent the Re-
publican party was without notice and
Irregular. For that reason several prom
inert Republicans registered a protest, and

her or friends He Is a brilliant orato-
and ssaunch Republican. and would make
