It is estimated that the total vote cast in the Territory will reach about 14,OOO.

The Third Division cast 3,977 and the Fourth, 2,490 votes. It is not believed any of them will fall below the figures of 1926.
 Both Parties Confident

Democratic nominee for Delegate to Congress, and Dele gate Sutherland, seeking re-elec- tion for fifth term, claim to be confident of victory The Corner base their forecasts Of triumph on reports received from other Divi- sions and on the apparent local strength of their candidate. The ease with which Sutherland has won every election since 1920 is mainly responsible for the feeling of confidence his followers exhib. it.
 MT. Grlgsby, mailing the banner of Home Rule to the masthead ol his campaign ship, has concluded notably vigorous campaign tha : covered communities from NomI to Ketchikan. Charging tha Sutherland is avowediy opposed to extension of powers of self-gov
