 The Democratic Divisional con vention completed its work last night O few minutes before 6 O. clock. The third and last session of the convention began promptly at 4:30 o'clock to whichc hour it was adjourned from o'clock. The adjournment was taken after six men had been placed in nom- nation for Representatives in order to hear from Mayor M. C.. Henegen. of Ketchikan, and Chas. M. McGrath. of Sitka. There was a manifest disposition on the part of the Juneau delegation to see that the southern portion of the Divis- ion had representation on the tick ct. However, telegrams were re- ceived from Mayor Henegen and Mir. NfcGrath saying that they could not, on account Of pressure of business, accept nominations.
 This left but five candidates in nomination. and it soon became ev- iident that there was no chance for lthe nomination of Rev J. N. Co., iker. of Craig. whose name had been presented in behalf of the dele gates from that place and Sulzer, who had acted in the belief that 1t would be necessary for Senator Sul- ger to resign from the Territorial Legislature in the event of his election as Delegate to Congress. However, when it became known lthat there is no reason why he should not serve throughout the next legislative session regardless of whether or not he is chosen to represent Alaska in Congress, sen ltlment rapidly centered on the four candidates named by the various lGastineau channel delegations, and Mir. Coker's name was withdrawn.
