H. F. THUMM: Left Rampant last summer and spent last fall, winter and spring in Seattle and Pittsburgh. MT. Thumm arrived here few weeks ago -Juue IS, and had not got acclimated when thrust into local politics. He will not be a resident under the Act by some ten months and cannot cast vote.
 JOHN STANLEY: Left Rampant for Seattle about May 20, 1905; spent two months there and returned here about August l, 1905. While MT. Stanley will be able to cast his vote at the cleo tion, still he is not a qualified elector on the date of the convention-July IA.
 These <'delegates" chosen at this select gathering are therefore not qua lifted electors under the law and cannot be seated in the convention. They are merely cheechakoes under this Act, and the vast amount of scheming, wire-pul- ling and framing up'' secretly going on the past two weeks all for nought. The only qualification of a delegate at this meeting, preeminent over all, was that those slated must be ''good Wick ersham men," and with the latter the delegates chosen at this select gather ing will be entitled to seat only in the gallery reserved for the ''rubber-necks."

FOURTH RECESS APPOINTMENT

SHOULD the news prove authentic re- garding the determination of President Roosevelt to give Judge Wickersham another recess appointment, making the fourth given that official, it will cause no surprise to those who have kept close watch on developments dur ing the Wickersham controversy.
 It has been authoritively stated that the president had promised that if the senate failed to confirm the judge this session, he would not give him another recess appoinement, but would name new man. This, taken with the state ment made by the judge when called to to Washington-th that he would not re- turn until he left the capilal with his confirmation in his pock ket-gave this assurance of the president weight.
 It would appear, however, that the president has again taken the bit. and is not only overriding the senate but is bent on ignoring the wishes of the peo- pie of the Third division, as he likewise forced Gov. Brady on the whole of AL aska, and then in a few months was compelled to request the resignation of his appointee.

Hall last Monday cannot be seated at the Republican Territorial Convention that will be held at Juneau, July IA to nom- mate Republican candidate for con- gressional delegate.
