 SULZER EXISTS OUT IN
 THE WESTWARD COUNTRY

That a very strong Sulzer senti- ment, irrespective Of party lines, exists in the Third Division is the word that is brought to Juneau by returning travelling salesmen from that section Of Alaska. Tt would be easy to predict ca large majority for Sulzer in Cordova, Valdez and Seward" said one of the oldest, in point of Alaska service. tray- cling men on the road. and while 1t would be difficult for any one to make prediction based on figures, there is no question of his strength at Anchorage. His friends there believe that he will carry that sec tion.
 "ono of the favorable indica- tions as to Sulzcr's chances out in the Westward country said an- other travelling man who is back in Juneau from trip there, lis that he is strong with those Of all class es Particularly 80 among the la boring men. That Is why it is be- lieyed that he will not only carry Cordova, Valdez and Seward, but that he will carry Anchorage"

pears to be Imminent.

LONDON, Dec l5.-The long de-
layed settlement of the Irish question
is near. An amicable union Of VI
sterltes and southern Irishmen is vis-
ible. Lloyd Georges negotiations
started following the Dublin revolt
at first appeared a failure but they
are steadily progressing and have
reached the stage where definite
agreement Is expected daily
The Irish did not seriously object
to Sir Edward Carson's appointment
to the new cabinet, The Irish strong
ly objected when Carson was first
included i'm Asqulths cabinet. There
was no criticism over Lloyd George
retaining Henry Edward Duke as
chief secretary for Ireland Lloyd
Georges action is undoubtedly the
result of Dukes efforts to reunite
Ireland.
Major Redmond's appeal in the
House of Commons yesterday, where
in he cited the fact that the Ulster
man. and nationalists We're most ami
able companions in the trenches was
the first open indication Of impend-

in debates showed negotiations are
proceeding successfully.
