POLITICAL RUM0R
 WITHOUT BASIS

Notwithstanding rumor to the con Etrary, there has been no ultlmatum de- lIyered to the Democratic party of Alaska by the administration as to the nomination of Delegate to Con gress or any other matter, according to members of the organization and others who are in position to know. Those who attended the meeting of the Juneau club Tuesday night are unanimous in saying that there was not an intimation or hint in anything that was said or done that could be construed into the suggestion of an ultimatum, or request, or that an ulti- matum or request of any kind was contemplated.
 Territorial Committee for Demo-
 cratic Principles.
 skagway was selected as the con vention city, according to the mem bers of the central committee, because 1t was regarded as nearly CenIrai point from a transportation standpoint as there is in the Territory. It was rec ognized that there is no place in the Territory that a convention could be held that would be equally accessible to all parts of the Territory.
 Two months notice of the conven- tion was given, for the purpose as ex- pressed by committee members, of giving the Democrats of the Territory every opportunity to discuss all phases of the campaign that is approaching.
 The provision was made that within the incorporated towns of the Terri tory delegates to the convention should be selected at primary cleo tions where the majority of the Demo- cratic voters can control.
