SULZER Is LEADING
 IN THE RACE STILL
Gateway Reports From Various Precincts Gave
 Him Lead This Morning

After all the reports received ur sc Saturday night SuIzer was leading Wickcrsham. Mr. Sulzcr himself on his alival here on the Evans had it figured out that he was something oyer hundred in the iead With the figures 70 hand tlat evening and al lowing an even break in Jbe Second division i, appeared that he Was about 23. ahead of Wickersham. The re- pert coming this morning and pub i>hed here would threaten that ma jo..t! but all reports arriving from Nome to Committeeman Doaohuc promised that the Second division would not give d lead, or any mater. .aI icad, to che present Delegate.
 Air. su.zcr and llr. Donohuc, az ,ompanicd by their wives, arrived in Seward on tac Evans and spcn, scy- eraD hour, m town. Tom Holland ano Harvey Sellers. SuIzcr's la,or union representative were also with them. The whole party seemed to be per tcctly satisfied at the manner in which things were going. The attitude ol .ac chjcl candidate was admirable. lie received the latest reports, yhejh- or favorable or uatayorable, in the most even frame of mind. When told that Kodiak had not given him the majority 1t gave BgmelI he cXpresser mild surprise, nothing more. He and Donohuc were really as calm as if they were mere spectators. They were at loss to account for the fall ing down O. Nctchikan but they seem ed to agree with the Gateway eXpian- ation that the fishermen in that quarter at the last moment gave sup port to Wickersham because of the Alexander bill activities. It is saio that Marshall camp will have three or four hundred votes and the Franl, Waskcy stronghold is now the pivot al district, another California. If Frank Waskey and his friends can sway Marshall, Sulzer has won. On the other hand the people who say that the Second division will give the candidates an even break may be counting on a Sulzer majority in Marshall. Tom Donohue is naturally well satisfied with the result of the national election. As national com mitteeman he will be the real boss and if Alaska has gone democratic like the rest of the nation he will be the big TT. Donohue seems to be a very fine man and he deserves con gratulations.
 The following was the cable receiv- ed this morning regarding the result there and it shows that Sulzer did not reach 600 majority as had been ex- pected by some:
 JUNEAU, Nov. 13.-According to the figures of the Juneau Empire to hand up to the present Sulzer has a majority of 54S in the First, Wick ersham has a majority of 3 in the Fourth and 172 in the Second. The information from the Second, how ever, is that it will be about even."
 As this is being written the Evans is still reported in the bay and the candidate for congress must be at sea in more senses than one.
 Captain John Worth, the mining partner of Dan Sutherland, was also a passenger on the Evans and he pre- diets that Dam will be the next dele gate to Congress. When he was re- minded that he meant that Dan will be the next candidate he insisted that he meant what he said, "next dele gate" In this respect it is interest ing to note the we'll founded report that Shackleford, Murane, Gilmore
