MARQUAM ALREADY BEING HAILED AS
 ALASKA DELEGATE
CANDIDATE GIVEN GLAD HAND BY MAJORITY OF SEWARD'S
 CITIZENS

Organization plans were begun in Seward Saturday evening by support CTS of Thomas A. Marquam, candidate on the Independent ticket for Delegate to congress and, judging from the en- thusiastic reception given to MT. Mar quam, his local campaign will be ably taken care of Complete announce ment of the organization will be made shortly.
 Mir. Marquam who is already being haled as Alaska's new delegate to con- gress, addressed the meeting giving a brief resume of campaign work un- der way in the First division and of the remarkable support being given him in every town and community.
 He frankly confessed to friends that he "sort of forgot about politics" in his pleasure at meeting and visiting with so many of the oldtimers, his friends of two decades standing. Tt is just like going home to be back at these places and the time have to spend here is all too short for any conversations on political topics" MT. Marquam said "However, I was given the word of my old friends and many new ones that they will stand by me in the campaign and the election. Their promises are enough for me. I know them and I am relying ab- solutely on them"
 He spent week or more at Ketchi- kan and sufficiently long in both Wrangell and Petersburg to meet numerous citizens and he returns to Seward with increased confidence his former assurance that he will poll a heavy vote in November. On his return to Juneau he found the organi- ration in his behalf as we'll as that of the Divisional Independent ticket, active in organization work and mak- ing marked inroads in the trenches of the enemy.
 MT. Marquam left for Fairbanks yesterday on a flying visit to his of- flee but is returning immediately from the Interior in time to go Westward on the steamer Starr. Upon his re- turn from the Bristol bay district he will campaign throughout the Second and Fourth divisions, via airplane, closing in this and the First division.
