RIGGS ENDORSED FUR GOVERNOR
 OF ALASKA
Special to the Times)

VALDEZ, May 21. - Attorney Thos. J. Donohoe, Democratic national com mitteeman, is now making an open and aggressive fight against Governor J. F. A. Strong. In an interview given out by him. he outlines his opposition to the Democratic war-horse and says 1t is due to weak and eolorless ad. ministration, and claims the rank and file of the Democratic organization and newspapers have endorsed the com mitteeman in the stand he has taken, It is admitted that Strong has some support, but Donohoe says it is almost entirely from Wickershamites. It is charged that every appointment made by Strong went, with to exceptions, to Republicans or Wickersham support CTS, and the cases of w. w. Shortill, the governors secretary, W. G. Smith the territorial treasurer, A. c. Shoup, of the Pioneers home at Sitka, J. A. Cobb, former attorney for Alaska, and others are instanced
 Donohoe further charges treachery in the attempt to give Wickersham A certificate of election; that Strong no tified Wickersham as early as Febru- ary 10 that he would give him a cer- tificate of election and had no inten- tion of following Attorney General Grigsby's opinion. unless favorable to Wickersham; that on the advice of the Democratic central committee, Dono- hoe had endorsed Juoge Jennings at Washington.
 The interview then goes on to say that about a week ago at Juneau meeting, representing all of the divi- sions, Jennings withdrew his name as candidate for governor, and the meeting endorsed Thomas Riggs, Jr., of the Alaskan engineering commis- sion. and sent to Secretary of Interior Lane wire, asking for his appoint ment. Donohoe expresses the hope that all good Democrats of the terri tory will wire an endorsement of Riggs to Lane.
