Emery Valentine, would appear in
new light, and constitute them
selves the Regular Republicans
Of Alaska" To this end, they
recently sent out notices to the
faithful calling On them to elect
delegates. but to send proxies in.
stead of such delegates, to Valen-
tine at Juneau.
This paper has not received
copy OF the call SO it has 10 de-

umns OF the Wickersham organs:
According to them fifty delegates
are to be allowed each of the four
judicial districts, irrespective of
the number of votes the districts
may have cast in the last or any
other election for the party ticket
The wisdom and Justice of such az:
porticnmeht is clearly illustrated in
the representation allowed our sis
Ter town of ketchikan, we'll known
as a Wickersham stronghold. In
the last election ketchikan cast less

titled to eight delegates at the CON-

state fish and game law.
AT this point Senator Roddie asked
Senator Sorrels if there are many
aliens in the eastern part of Okla
homa, to which Senator Sorrels re-
piled that there are quite a number
around the mines.
This opened up the discussion OF
how many of the aliens living in Ok
lahoma have taken out hunters Ii
censes. Senator Sorrells said he un.
derstood only one alien had taken out
such license, but Senator Roddie
thought three had done so.
That there is a sum of money in
the treasury derived from the game
laws equivalent to about $4,000 was
used as an argument against the in
justice the law is alleged to impose.
Senator Cunningham remarked that
If II is unjust for the people living
in Senator Sorrells' district to pay
the hunters tax. 1t Is equally unjust
for the people in all other parts of
the state to pay it.
Senator Graham said that If It
should be considered just for 25 per
cent of the voters in any district to
secure the suspension of the game
law, 1t would not be right to say that
the people Of Oklahoma City should
be denied the privilege (25 per cent
Of the voters) to secure the annull.
