KEEN INTEREST IN REPUBLICAN
 PRIMARY FIGHT
KAl sk Hlsll
KclT't S~A -I-- Three-cornered Delegate Con test Expected to Bring
 Out Heavy Vote.

election both locally and throughout the Territory centers in the Re publican primary. There is no con test in the Democratic primary and in none of the Divisions has the latter party presented a full ticket.
 There is apparently enough con tests in the Republican races to in. sure a representative Republican vote in every Division. The three-cor- nered fight for tho Delegateship should draw out heavy Republican ballot and added to it there are in three Divisions contests for member ship in both Houses of the Territorial Legislature, which should add to the total vote in each. In this Division there are seven candidates for Re publican nominations as members of the lower House and two for the Sen ate. In the Third Division there are also two for the Senatorial nomina- tion In the Fourth there are five candidates for the lower House. In the Second and Fourth Divisions two Senators are to be nominated, one in each for uneNpired terms and one for the full term.
 Vote of 1920 Primary
 The present situation as regards Tuesdays primaries is almost exactly the same as that which existed in the 1920 primaries. On the Democratir ticket there were no contests while on the Republican ticket there were numerous Territorial candidates and although but one candidate for Dele gate, there were three candidates for National Committeeman.
 The heavy vote was cast for Ma tional Committeeman in every Divi sion except the Second, where seven more Republican votes were cast for candidates for the Attorney Generals office than for National Committee man, the three former getting 224 votes.
 In the 1920 primaries there were 4740 votes cast Out of this number 1888 were boiled in this Division, 1880 in the Third, 54S in the Fourth and PA in the Second The vote in the Fourth was lighter than would otherwise have been the case on ac- count of a severe epidemic of influ- cnza in Fairbanks, Nenana and near by communities. Republican leaders are confident that the vote this year will not fall below that of two years ago.
 This year it is expected that the heavy vote will be for candidates for the Delegate nomination. It is gener- Galen of Cordova, now in this city, or Delegate Sutherland will be nominated with Thomas B Drayton, of Seward, trailing in the ruck
