SULzER MAKES
 HIT AT SEWARD BROTHERHOOD HALL BLOCKED Candidate Makes Telling Speech and Is Enthusiastically Cheered-Pre- dicted Will Get Double the Bun- nell Vote There.


SEWARD, Oct. 2S.--The big Arc tic Brotherhood hall here was filled to overtlowing last night with Seward rites to hear Charles A. Sulzer, the Democratic nominee for Delegate to Congress. Sulzer made telling speech, proving by documentary evi- dence every charge made against Del egate Wickersham and giving the Del egate such trimming as he had nev- CT had before in Seward.
 He had the audience with him from the start and again ana again he was interrupted by tumultuous cheers. He spoke of Wickersham's attack on Col. Richardson and said he lacked the courage to repeat the attack in Valdez.
 Sulzer made a splendid impression here and will poll at least twice the Bunnell vote of two years ago. Re- ports from Anchorage are also more favorable than ever. and the indica- tions are that the candidate will get better than an even break there. not withstanding the claims of the Wick ershamites that they will carry the town.
