Special te the Nugget


 The Daily Empire, Sulzers recog- nized mouth piece issue of March eight, published an interview with Donohue Democratic National Com mtteeman, In which he denied the statement made by Maloncy, and pub lished by the Juneau Dispatch, to the effect that Donohue had admitted Maloney would defeat Sulzer at the primary and had threatened to put up an independent candidate against Maloney in case he should do so. Donorue admitted however that he did visit Maloney and that he did try to induce Maloney to withdraw
 The Empire tried to beltttle Ma loney and poke fun at him. It said; The joke is on the Dispatch and its psuedo political writer. To day the town held its sides with laughter. Bo- lieving that Thomas J. Donohue, Democratic National Commtteeman, had departed on the Evans, and would be on the high seas where he could not answer the misstatements for several days at least,the Dispatch, selfstyled Republican organ, in it's eagerness to boost the campaign of Vim Maloncy, who is running against Sulzer for Delegate in common with the Wickersham forces, reported that Mir. Donohue had stated that Maioney would be the king bee in the political puddle"
 After quoting from the Despatch the Empire went on to say, When in terviewed this morning, Mir Donohue said there was just two statements Tn the article published in the Despatch that were correct or true. These were the statements that he called upon Mir. Maloney, and that he endeavored to induce MT Maloney to withdraw as a candidate for Delegate in the Dem ocratic primaries. Mir Donohue said hls action in this matter was largely actuated by his friendship for MT. Ma loney as the latter hitherto had been a loyal party man and had rendered excellent party service in the last Delegate campaign for Alr. Sulzer. Mir Donohue pointed out to MT Ma loney that he was being used by the remnants of the Wickersham machine in an effort to defeat MT. Sulzer, both in the primaries and in the general election. When tho attention or MT. Donohue was called to the statement in the Despatch that "Donohue con- cedes the defeat of Sulzer in the pri- maries is likely" he smiled over the absurdity of such statement, abso- lutely denied it and on the contrary said that he demonstrated to MT Ma loney that the latter would not gel in the entire territory two hundred Democratic votes at the primaries Mir. Donohue said that what he did concede was that NIT Maloney would get all the votes of the Wickershan machine in the primaries
 Then the Empire, in It's enort t' ridicule Maloney, and, thru him, th' great mass of laborlng men in Alaska made the mistake Of saying: H' stated that Maioney had, as far as h' knew. performed his duties as min ing inspector fairly well, but as delegate to Congress he would be joke. and in the language of tn streets. would have Tom Gale skin ned mile as first class boob.
 This aroused the well known hSht ing qualities of MT Maioney. and n cane back With a reHly In tte Dc latch of the ninth which set the hair oi Mir DonohIa and his ht'l ring and demonstrated that even
 teob has more brains th0n the whol lunch put together. NIT Malonoy's re ply in full follows;
