John Noes Account of
 Split in the Convention

trict, three lawyers. Mir. Jennings. Mir Cheney and Mir Kolb. and an ex- prize fighter Mir Bishop. and Mir Crisp, a butcher from Douglas Isl and.
 Mir. Bach, secretary of the terri. torial committee. refused absolutely 10 have anything to do with the conventions Second district: ]. A. Daily. of Seattle. claiming to have % proxies from Nome. which were obtained last September. about four months before even the national Democratic committee had issued their call for the Democratic con yentiOn at Baltimore. From the Third district, out walked MT. Os- trander and another lawyer from CordOva, Mir. Donahue and Mir. smith. two lawyers from Valdez. and lawyer from Seward. who is commissioner and whose name have forgotten. also MT. Exum from Chitina. From the Fourth district out walked the Honorable Judge Err win, would-be lawyer. Charles David son Cf Fairbanks. MT Spray of Fair banks. claiming that he was elected as Jennings delegate from the Garden Island district, also a party named d'Heirry. claiming to have a proxy from the Miller Roadhouse. and one from Circle. but it develop ed that the proxy from Circle was given to MT. Erwin by Mir. Callahan. and We thought at the time that he had about as much right to vote his Miller proxy as he had the Circle proxy which had been given to an other man
 After all these members of the Jennings-Daly combination had with drawn from the convention hall. a motion was made that MT. OConnor be temporary chairman. which was carried, and secretary was also elected. We then proceeded with our business in the regular way, and nominated MT Martin Harrais as delegate to congress, and also selected delegates to the national Democratic convention, a territorial committeeman, and transacted such other business as was required.
 In the meantime the Jennings Daly combination got together in Moose hall and there held a trump convention. which we did not recog- nize and do not recognize as Dem ocratic convention. as it was a meet ing of Seattle and Juneau lawyers, and a few other lawyers scattered around in Alaska; in fact. their trump convention was composed of fifteen men, of whom II were law Eers, and four were hymen
 In closing, l want to say that we did everything in reason and con sistent with fair dealing. to prevent discord and have a harmonious cen vention. but, owing to the highland ed and tricky manner in which the Seattle-Jennings-Daly combination en- deavored 10 steal the convention from us, as soon as they learned that We outnumbered them. we were com pelled to proceed with our business and protect our rights with the result that We drove them from the field of battle as above set forth
