WOULD HAVE BURNS
 AS DUR DELEGATE
Representative From Fourth Division Spoken of By Interior Demo-

FAIRBANKS, June 11.-William T. Burns, of this city, has been sug- gested as the Democratic nominee of the Democratic party at the coming delegate election and his friends have started a campaign to secure for him the nomination at the convention to be held in Skagway on August 3rd.
 Burns carried the Fourth divis- ion by the largest vote given to any candidate and has large number of personal friends in the district who would work for his election as dele gate.
 It is expected here that the entire Fairbanks delegation will be instruct ed for Burns.
 Friends of Henry Roden, the sen ator from this division, are also act i've and are expected to make a fight for delegates and it may result in splitting the delegation from the Fourth. It is conceded here that if Roden is not lost and returns to the Iditarod before the delegates are elected he will secure the entire Dem ocratic delegation frefh his home city, besides having a chance to split the Fairbanks and creek delegations.
 E. W. Griffin, one of the largest independent merchants of this sec tion, is also spoken of as possible candidate.
