MAlONEY LOSES IN CONTEST FOR
 PARTY SUPPORT
Democrats Rally to Support of Sulzer, Giving Him Nomination
 At Primaries.

That the Democrats of the terri tory are still solidly behind Dele gate Sulzer, despite the efforts of Governor Strong, William Maloney and other reactionaries to divide the party vote, is indicated by the heavy vote cast yesterday for Sulzer, at the territorial primaries, and the poor showing made by Mine h. spector Maloney, who aspired to the Democratic nomination as candidate for delegate.
 The vote cast at Nenana may be regarded as representative of the sentiment throughout the entire ter ritory, unless it is the Nome dis trict, the returns from which have not been received here. Only seven votes were cast for Maloney in Ne mana, there was a large majority for Sulzer in Fairbanks, and the vote in the First division was about two to one in favor of the delegate.
 The result of Maloney's defeat is that he is eliminated from territorial politics, for he can not now hope for further consideration from the Democratic party. He will lose his job as territorial mine inspector and can hardly look for favors from Governor Riggs, in view of the fact that his sympathies have been with the Strong faction throughout the campaign, opposed to the new gov ernor, opposed to Delegate Sulzer and opposed to the so-called Demo- cratic machine.
 An outstanding feature of the Me- mana voting was the scarcity of Socialists, only three votes having been cast for the Socialist nominee, Francis Connolly, and two for the two nominees for representatives w. F. Good and Bob Hilleary, of Ruby

Penning- ton, local representative of the Democratic ticket for the lower branch of the territorial legislature The fact that 25 votes were thrown out by the local election board shows that the purpose of the election was not clearly understood by many of those who voted The names of Republicans were crossed from tickets and the names of Demo- crats substituted, and vice versa Fully a score of voters arrived at the polls too late to cast their ballots.

any skill in such care. thus relieving
members of the family to do the house,

desired will be drawn in season to be
presented at the November meeting
