First Division Results.
Delegate Sutherland carried a
great majority of the 10 precincts
from which reports have been re-
ceived by The Empire and is lead
ing his Democratic opponent. E. J.
White in the division by 1913 votes,
the vote being received by each be-
ing, Sutherland 1880, White 1877.
In the same precincts in the 1920
election Mr.. Sutherland received a.
total of 2,151 while George B. Grigs-
by, his Democratic opponent get l.
552 votes.
The decrease in the vote this year
over that of two years ago is ascrib-
ed to the lack of interest that pre-
vailed in all sections of the di-
vision throughout the campaign
The shrinkage is noticeable in every
section of the division. In Juneau
in 1920 Mr.. Sutherland received
772 votes as compared to 539 yes
terday The total vote in juneau
yesterday was 807 or 1926 less than
two years ago. Gastineau Channels
vote yesterday totaled 1850 as COM
pared to 1927 in 1920. Two years
ago Mr.. Sutherland received a ma
jority on Gastineau Channel Of All
over Mr.. Grigsby. In yesterdays ell
cotton he only received 1856 more
votes than Mr. White. But while
his lead here was cut at other points
in the Division he made gains that
overcame losses in his majority. This
was particularly true at ketchikan
which was carried by Mr.. Grigsby in
1920 but went against Mr. White
yesterday.
