ALASKAN THINKS SULZER CERTAIN
 TO BE ELECTED
If Law Is Followed He Will Be Delegate to
 Congress Says Donohoe.
STATEMENT OF FACTS

SEATTLE, Feb. 1z-Alaska will
 be represented in the next Congress
 by Charles A. Sulzer, Democrat, Gc.
 cording to the belief of T. J Dono-
 hoe, national committeeman from II Alaska, who arrived .n Seattle yes. tterdNy on his way east, says the ! IPOstIntelligencerr Mr. DonchoA and
 Mrs Donohoe are at the New Wash-
 ington They plan to go 10 New ' York ilrst returning to Washing ton in time to attend the inwugura- ton of President Wilson.
 ''l feel quite certain that Mir Sul. iAcr will get the certificate of cleo. tion from the canyassing board" Mir. IDonohoe said. "The board cannot dc otherwise if 1t chooses to follow tho law which gave Alaska the Aus tralian ballot The ballots used in the Chogglung and Nushagak pre-. clncts. which gave Wickersham a ma. iOrity Of som6Sthirty votes, were dis ! lnctly a violation Of the Alaska law, Doth because Of their form and be- Icause of tue fact that they were not accompanied by a certificate show. ling why the regular ballots were mot used. The ballots in these two precincts bore only the names Of the Wickersham.Frame ticket There were three candidates for Delegate, | these ballots bore the names Of IWickersham alone There were three candidates for tue Territorial Sen. ate these ballots had only the. name of Frame. There were over dozen men running for Bepresen- tatiye, but only four were on the. ballot
 More Votes to Come
 "Thc entire vote of these two pre-. cincts were for the Wckersham FrameHcket, and, desides, so far as we have been able to ascertain there was no one in either Choggiung orI Nushagak who could operate a type writer. We think the ballots were sent there by the Frame campaign committee"
 In the belief Of Mir Douohoc, with these precincts eliminated. Sulzer will have the delegateship clearly | Other precincts in doubt are Deering and Utica, in the Second Division. 1 on which hinge the election of one of the four Representatives to the Territorial Legislature. If Dceriug | and Utica ere countedI Democrat | will nose out a Republican for the place by a few votes The votes of those precincts have been mailed | from Nome, but have not yet been received in Juneau.
 With a Democrat representing AL aska in Congress" continued Mir Donohoe "the Territory will come on new era of development Alask2 may look for a brighter future in obtaining needed legislation and nee. cssities that heretofore have been denied because of her lack of co. operation. The election Of Sulzer means much to Alaska and, because of the relation of Alaska to Seattle it means just as much to the future Of Seattle.
 Benefits Expected
 "The things that will come to Al. aska, we Democrats believe, will be more complete Territorial govern ment. the right to look after our own school system and the right of Mlskans to be governed by bona ride Alaskans."
 Mir. Donohoe said that no change were pending with regard to federal appointments in the Territory. He said that Judge Tucker, Of Nome. lad announced that he would be Q for reappointment to the bench in the Second Division. Mir. will be in the east until he middle of March.
