Senator O. p. Gautad, editor Of
 the Fairbanks News-Eloer, the
 only republican newspaper in Che
 TaHana, prints the following Polla- |oaI review
 Considerably earlier than is
 former years, there appears 10 be more activity ln Q7epa-u5ol for
 the November political campaign
 than ever noted before, according ] to papers that arc arriving from ! all parts of lAe territory In the ! First and Third divisions Fa-agElzz- ! ly there is a great deal oE talk 'GSout the coming delegate election. ! The coast papers say Elat the None ] poEucians are va-y active, but . reports received uy the Nsws-Elue-
 from the Seward peninsula indicate ] Lhat there ss EtUe stirring thEe 1 The question who VIII get the re publican nomination, and who wlI
 get the choice CT the EeDoo7aac
 party.
 ] From taa editorials os the var5- ] oUs papers, from ths writings and ! Communications sPPea-i1E 5a the ua- pers, and rom the utte-auoss os some Of the leaders, two things seem 70 be 5oregoae conclusions . They are. That Delegate Wicker sham can secure the nomination oi ] the republican pG-ly it he wants lls and that Judge c. E. BuuaeI can {. be the democratic nominee E he wlII accept 1t
 VII either want these Eonlla- uons@ Friends oi Delegate Wicker sham and many CT hls political o1- emles agree that he can be elect ed, either as i16eQudnt or as a re publican nominee Some of his friends insist tha- he viu be better off as an indsPeadent Before Delegatc ETtcke7shan Ie1y Fai-bazks he indicated thas he would .Lke to see all party differences cleared up by the republican party. He thinks that this can be brought about by his leading the party in November, and it is possible that he may accept the republican nom iuation.
 Reports from Juneau indicate thas the republicans there would like 10 have all differences healed and that thev would be willing yo support Wickershan In F1l-ba1ks s1e7o are many republicans lu the sane boat, while there Ere a few who would lght as1 even to election day.
 Judge BunpeI has made many . friends since coming to FaiToa1ks . IS judge Of the Fourth judicial d.
 vision He is more widely known
 now than he was ia 1914 when he made Jhe race for Go.cEace Es . friends declare. and the majority oE . the democrats agree, that he would be about he suoaEaz lzn the party could put UP. But the naJo-'-- CT then also agree lhaJ . he couldr- be elected agGns; Wick e7shan either as zz independent or as a republican D.
 A firm friend o5 Judge BuaneL. g . was heard ro ssv recently, ta sPs2E- . ing oI the possibility e hlu run . ming, that he $ zov a comparative ! Iy yoUlg man. He is making good ] iu his present position He will . probably continue to do So. Ee has all hEs life ahezd e him co . run for delegate Why sacrifice ] himself this year and thereby EiI his future chances o. election, when ! he might run against a weaker man ] than Delegate Wicke-sEz1
 Among others wa5 are suggested ! for the position Of nominee Of the ! republican party is W. A. Gilmore . ot Nome. who ua6e the run la 1912 . The coast papers say that the Nome . republicans are solid for him and against Wicke1shan. TeleECa9hic reports received Ny the News-li1eT . from Nome, are 70 the effect taat . nothing has been sad or done there ! regarding the nomination and that there is not likely to be for some ! time.
