Hubbard's Election
Will Be Contested

Seward Gateway: The territorial
Democratic organization is now
taking up with the national Demo
cratic committee the advisability of
contesting the election of O. P. Hub
bard to the Alaska senate.
The organic act provides that a
man elected to the legislature shall
have been a resident and an inhabi-
tant of the division for two years
prior to the date of election and
it is now claimed that Hubbard had
an office in La Sale street. Chica-
go and maintained his residence
there for two years prior to 1914.
1t is also claimed that his fam
lily has been absent from the terri
tory for five years. Funds are now
being collected, it is said, in Val
dez, Cordova, Juneau and other
cities to contest the election. The
opponents of Hubbard also say that
the senate will refuse to seat him
and will declare the seat vacant.
