T. J. DOnOhoe Gives Out Statement After Extended Investigation in
 Which Fraud Is Charged

On returning from a tour of investi- gation into possible frauds at the last election, T. J. Donohoe, of Valdez, gave out the following statement covering alleged wholesale election frauds at Afognak and Seldovia, which he says will be submitted to Congress and set tie the WickerSham-Sulzer contest in favor of Sulzer.
 The statement says:
 Dispositions in the election contest case at Afognak show that not more than 15 votes of the 62 cast were those of white people. Not less than 47 votes were cast by AleutS living under tribal relations, and 34 of the voters could neither read nor write nor understand the English language. Most of these testified that they had voted for WickerSham and others tes- tifed that they did not know for whom they voted. The testimony, undisput- ed, show that they were rounded up by John TauShwak, an educated Aleut and WickerSham agent at Afognak and that he went into the booths with them and marked their ballots for WickerSham, and that they had not the remotest idea for whom they were vot- ing nor what they were doing. Taush- walk, who marked the ballots, was not even a member of the election board.
 The testimony in the case taken at Seldovia show that 27 of the voters were members of the Kenai tribe of Indians, living under tribal relations, and that every one of them voted for WickerSham; that they were rounded up in their native village by Wicker sham agents who brought them to the polls and voted them; that they could not read nor write or understand the English language and that they had no ;dea of what they were doing nor for what they were voting.
 The evidence is plain that most of the Wickersham voters at Afognak and Seldovia were plain, wild and woody savages As a part of the proof of this contention photographs havt been taken of them and their habita- tions and will be submitted with the other evidence, particularly that as to their methods and habits of living.
