BUNNELL POPULAR
 IN THE INTERIOR

CHITINA, Sept. 1l--Charles E. Bun- nell, the regular Democratic candidate for Congress, who has been campaign ing the Copper River valley, left here today on the Sheldon Ford machine for Fairbanks.
 The work of the Valdez candidate here has resulted in securing for the Democratic candidate Q large vo:e in this section. It is freely predicted that the Guggenhelms will be unable 70 control the vote of the laboring men, as they did two years ago, when all Guggenheim towns voted solidly for Wickersham.
 Following the policy outlined by Mir Bunnell in his speech in Valdez he has promised the people here that if elected he will be the peoples agent at Washington and will not use his office to work out his personal spite against the men in Alaska who are opposed to him, but on the contrary will use his every endeavor to secure for Alaska the greatest possible aid from the Democratic administration now in power, and which has already done much for the development of the Northland.-Valdez Miner.

 Seattle, Wash.
 Gentlemen: hereby acknowledge receipt or your check for S5,000.o0, In full pay ment of my claim for loss of sight un- der my "3 in l" policy, for $5,OOO.OO.
 In looking back over my experience I cannot help but feel very thankful to your representative, Major Ransom, for his Insistent do it now" which he used when soliciting my business last February. At that time wanted to put of taking the insurance for six months, thinking I would then be in better shape financially to pay for it, although I knew at the time that my wife and little girls needed the pro lection. AS it was, the policy was only received by me few days before the ammonia explosion which cost me the sight of both my eyes.
 I certainly appreciate the difference between the Three in One" of the Northern Life and the Life only poli- cies as written by other Life lnsur- ance companies, which would have been burden under my present cir cumstances, while as 1t Is, I have re- celved the lace of the policy in cash and my Life insurance is not affected thereby. Again thanking the company for the prompt and satisfactory settle ment, remain
 Very truly yours,

would not receive the approval OF the
people of the country The very fact
that our national forces have been in
battle and our men have been killed,
has added to the bitter feeling against
Mexico and to the agitation for
complete settlement at this time, even
though IL should require the entire
armed forces of the nation to show
that this country cannot be wantoDly
insulted.
One Of the reason for the feeling or
apprehension I'm Congress has been
the attitude adopted' by the a0minis-
tration In handling the Developments
TO date. Not a single Democratic
leader has been consulted Under
wood, who forced through the tariff
hill; Glass, author Of the currency
law and the various heads of power
ful committees, who ordinarily ex-
pect the confidence Of the President.
have been kept In complete ignorance
OF what WAS going on aud forced to
learn the administration plans from
the newspapers The only persons
consulted BY the President and Sec
retary Bryan have been the ranking
members of the two committees deal
ing with foreign affairs and in most
| instances, including the acceptance Of
/ the mediation plan, have been called
In to see wha- had been on rather
than for advice on what has been
done.
The President believes there is rea-
son for this but Il has brought about
situation that is extremely delicate
Friends of leader Underwood have
been the most bitter. They allege
that instead of sending for the Ala
hama representative to consult with
him, the President sent Secretary
NicAdoo to the capital TO ask that a
war revenue measure be introduced.
lfThoy allege that because Underwood
and most Of the other leaders felt
obligated to oppose the President on
his tolls program. there has been a
disposition on the part OF the White
House to ignore them, a declaration
that meets with emphatic denial and
resentment at the White House.
The effect OF this feeling, however.
may handicap the administration
when any mediation proposal comes
TO Congress for approval. Ordinarily.
it would not be necessary for the
President TO submit anything on the
negotiations TO Congress. inasmuch
as there has been no declaration OF
war, and despite the array OF force
developed and the fighting at Vera
Cruz, there is practically no change
in actual Mexican conditions over a
year ago The President, however.
