from the Fourth division, from Eagle to the IditarOd, and there is not the | slightest doubt but that Sulzcr will carry the Fourth division by good majority. | feel safe in predicting that Mir SulZor will carry the First. Third and Fourth divisions by a very large plurality over Judge Wicker sham. The Second division will be about standor However. the vote in this division this year will be cX. tremcly light. in all probability it will not exceed Noo yotcs
 Wick's Campaign Dope
 'I mus, take my hat of to Judge Wickcrsham as q past master in the manufactur" of bogus campaeu dope. l was surprised To learn that there of my fellow Alaskans that th" com, mittec on elections having the Wick crsham.Sullcr contest under consider ation had reported in favor of Nr. Wickorsham And | understand that Judge Wickcrsham. Charley Heron and Eddie Russell have been dili- gently asserting this to bo d fact. I can pledge my word of honor to the people of Alaska that this is not the truth. The committee has not reported on the contest and it does not seem as though it would report on this contest before the present scs- sion of congress adjourns There ar" two reasons why this report has been delayed. and why in all probability ir will be delayed until the recon ycung of congress- The first is that th' members of tn" committee. like all other members of congress. have been extremely busy. and their tim" the great problems confronting con. gross and the nation. and have not had time To give tn" contest fair. honest consideration. The second reason is that should the committee make report at this tune the house could not spare the two days which is ordinarily granted for a conSidera- ton of the committee report on the floor of tn" house. Therefore the probabilities are that no report will DC made during in" present session should report he made however, 1a}" every reason to believe it would ne favorable to Mir Sulzcr am at loss to understand how Mir. Wicker sham and his friends succeeded in oh- aulne the alleged information that h, committee had or was about To report iayorably to him. for in the consideration of an election contest he committee acts in judicial ca- strange to me that any authentic in formation of what the committees proposed action would be could be ob- tainod previous to the rendition of their report. If this were true 1t V ou'd be similar tO court telling d few of his friends in advance what his decision would be- From what | tnot Of the high standing of the per -onrel of this committee am fully cn inccd that no intimation vas given by any Of its members as Iu ha' their intended report would be.
 Where the Shoe Pinches
 "| his false report is the first cam oaign lie put forth by the trio. Th"r" ill doubtless be many more before lection day. but the nndeniablc fact ucmains that Mir Sulzer is the dele gate, performing all the duties Of that office and exercising the privileges md receiving the emommcnts thereof, N hile Judge Wickcrsham is not the delegate and, what probably hurts lin more. is not receiving any of the emoluments thereof"

 isional Democratic ticket would be "Iected by substantial pluralities He ' in close touch with the political situatiOn. and is sanguine of success
