CD. MURANE NOMINATED

The Republican Territorial conven- tion, for all of Alaska, met at Juneau last Saturday morning. The Hon, George Irving, of Ketchikan,was made tenn porary chairman and John Me- Loughlin of Juneau, temporary secre- tary. The convention then adjourned until 8 o'clock p. m., or until such time as the Seattle might arrive with more delegates.
 The Seattle arrived at 2 o'clock. Aboard of her was the Hon. Richard Ryan, of Nome-and Seattle. He had a pocketful of proxies, and appeared on the floor of the convention, ready to fight her through. He first objected to the appointment of a committee on credentials, claiming that all creden- tials should be referred to the Terri torial committee that had issued the call for the convention.
 Mir. Murane, also representing the Nome district, quietly explained to Richard that he had outlined the method of procedure in National Con- ventions of the Republican party, but state and territorial conventions were conducted on an altogether different plan. Ryan subsided.
 Committees were appointed as fol- lows:
 CREDExT1ALs;-Marquam, of Skag- way; Heckman, of Ketchikan;D ;Dautrick, of Juneau; O'Connor, of Douglas; and Grant, of Wrangell.
 REsoLUTIoNs:-Shackleford, of Ju- mean; Burkhardt, of Ketchikan; Blum, of Valdez; Green, of Hadley; Boyd, of Douglas; and Tubbs, of Treadwell.

 The Convention then adjourned until o'clock. The committee on credentials failing to report at lO:45 the convention then adjourned until Monday morning at 8:3O.
 On Monday, the report of the com mittee seated Murane, and Ryan was down and out. By this time all other candidates had quietly withdrawn from the race, leaving the field clear for MT. c. D. Murane, of Nome, who was nnan- imously nominated for both the long and the short terms.
 The candidate Judge C.. D. Murane was born on farm in Minnesota and attended the public schools of Austin, Mian. Thence be went to study at the Northern Indiana Normal College, and was graduated from the law de- partment of that institution.
