The two dele gates from Alaska had been called away, and when they returned and saw how they were being annexed by candidate to whom they were not devoted they were peeved, Later they were able to enjoy heartily the fun when big Swede farmer from Mnne sota bodily abducted the standard of Porto Rico (which had no vote in the conven- ton and with it joined the parade in honor of the 'Stawsrt Cornstalk,' as Cummins has been atfectionately termed.
 The bill for repairs to the Alaska stand ard has been greater than that of all the other standards combined Whenever the backs of the Alaska delegates were turned some other delegation was sure to steal their standard and start procession with it. It has marched in parades for Hughes, Weeks, Cummins, Borah, Lafolette Henry Ford Roosevelt. sherman, Fairbanks, General Wood and John Wanamaker and has been picked upon as the joke of the convention until the fun has gotten on the nerves of Shackleford and Gilmore
