NOME IS RICH
 IN CANDIDATES
GRIGSBY AND POWELL FOR SEN ATE AND MANY FOR
 THE HOUSE

That Nome will have large crop of candidates for election to the terri torial legislature is the news convey ed in letter which reached Seward yesterday from the Seward Peninsula city.
 George Grigsby, formerly district attorney, and Thomas Cader Powell, former United States marshal, arc candidates for the territorial senate notwithstanding the statement of some democratic newspapers to the effect that Grigsby did not get the nomination at the Skayway conven- ton because he was too busy to take it. Charles Jones and Frank Aldrich, both members of the house in the first session, are again candidates. An other candidate for the house is Hugh O'Neill who started, with others, a democratic paper in Nome last fall to fight the officials that were sent in from the outside. He and Grigsby and the inner circle of the democratic organization are allied. Powell will probably run as republican and Grigsby as democrat. Thomas Calf ney who was a member of the house last time has been appointed Indian agent for the Second division by Gov ernor Strong. Elwood Bruner is the holdover senator for Nome.
