VARIOUS FEDERAL OFFICES
Strong is Endorsed for Governor Close Vote Between Dimond and Cochran for Judgshil,-CorrigO for Marshal and O'Neill for At tOrney.

NOME, Jan. 27-At mass meet ing of the local Democrats held here last evening for the purpose of sell ecting candidates for the various fed eral offices of the territory and this division, Governor Strong was en- dorsed for reappointment.
 The selection of a candidate for federal judgship was the only one in which there was any serious contest. The parties nominated for the posi- tion were Attorney Cochran, of this division and A. J. Dimond, of Valdez, both of whom had many friends and the vote was a close one, Cochran won out by a small majority, but it is still a questnon whether or not Ee would be the best man for the position, as for a number of years lle has been identified with the bis mining interests of this section. and If appointed to the Judgship would probably be disqualified from hear ing much of the litigation now in progress or which will arise during the next year or two. On this ground it Is believed that Dimond would be better qualified for the position than Cochran.
 Judge Corrigan, of this city, was the unanimous choice of the meeting for the position of United States Marshal, and Hugh O'Neill was also the unanimous choice of the meet ing for the office of District Attor- Ley. The names of the persons sell ected will be sent to National Com imitteeman Donohoe with instructions to use his best efforts to secure the nomination by the President.

He has fortune and says he does not need any more money. He speculates for love of the game. In between times he goes to Florida after tarpon or ducks or deer. Occasionally he shows that he only plays the market for recreation by giving his whole hearted attention to the plan for reorganizing Wabash or Rock Island. He does a good deal of serious reading and thinks for himself along highly original lines. When he gets interested in talking with visi- tor on the subject of preparedness he forgets ticker is within hun dred miles of his office. He is enthu- siastic, has a magnetic personality and will inject some interesting views into the record of the leak inquiry vi9nout admitting that he or any one else knew anything of the President s note until it appeared in print.

Having caught the "army spirit !, Howard J.

He says his company needs about 30 more men and then they will be ready for some real drilling. He urges Kingman boys to enlist in the Seventh Califor- mia, as they are assured of enlistment only for the period of the war.
 Last Sunday, he pitched and won a game of baseball for the army team against the Santa Fe shops team of San Bernardino, thus keeping up his record as a Kingman star of the dia- mond.
 Army life is very interesting, he writes, but there are some few little camp "chores" that go against the grain, such as doing his own washing and performing the task of kitchen mechanic.
