blast. the general tenor of which
was that he did not believe the
interests of accuracy had been
strictly served by the Forest Ser
vice in its latest bear census OF
Alaska. To be more explicit, Mr..
Holzworth came right out and
charged the Service with grossly
exaggerating the increase in the
number of bears.
With that duty behind him, he
continued to Kansas City and
quickly created more havoc ana
confusion than a charging brownie.
The scene where Mr.. Holzworth
had chosen to exercise his talents
was a National Convention OF the
Young Democrats of America. Fcr
the purposes of this record be II
known that what is hereafter set
forth is filled with allegations,
ut is saids,' etc, is based partly
upon hearsay and is in no sense
to be construed as a statement
of fact 100 per cent correct and
refined
Mr.. Holzworth quickly made his
way among the Young Democrats
and quickly melted them to var
ious forms of mischief. His IN
fluence became SO marked that
the delegates assembled in conven-
ton made protest and made moan
against what were termed the
"set. speeches of National party
leaders and in various and sundry
instances declined to hear those
leaders. a
Hurja Gets Busy 4,
Word of these activities OF Mr.,
Holzworth came to the ears OF
Emil ]. Hurja, high Administrative
official and good friend of Alaska,
himself in attendance at the con-
vention. A.i.
INQUIRY revealed that Mr.. Holz-
worth had gained admittance TO
the convention as the Alaska bear
delegate"
Now Mr.. Hurja is wise in ways
political. Moreover he had heard
of and about Mr.. Holzworth be
fore and perhaps was not in entire
agreement with some OF the lat
ter's theories.
So Mr.. Hurja set himself to a
little quiet investigating. The SHOTS
began to fly when it was discover
ed that Mr.. Holzworth couple
of years back was an unsuccessful
Republican candidate for Congress
from New York State. An enc
my in camp, no less!
The convention. committee on
credentials had been told that MI.
Holzworth had authority as a
delegate from Governor Troy and
in proof thereof a telegram, it is
claimed, was displayed giving such
authority and signed by "A. 9.
Dimand" secretary to Governor
Troy" Whatever strange things
might happen to a radio message
enroute from Juneau to Kansas
CITY. it is scarcely to be conceived
that the name of Harry G. Wat
son, competent secretary to Gov
ernor Troy, would come out at the
end of the travelling as "A. G. d.
mand." And it could not very well
have come out in any fashion, for
Mr.. Watson sent no such wire
and neither did the Juneau En-
pire. which, according to an arti-
Gle recently published in that pa
per. was asked by Mr.. Holzworth
to accredit him as delegate, but
perversely enough refused to do SO.
Clue Revealed
On closer inspection it might APP
pear that the name signed to the
telegram has some resemblance to
the name of Alaska's Delegate in
Congress. There are those uii-
kind enough to claim it was pur77
posely meant to have such resem-
blance and others still unkinder
have said right out in public that
certain party filed the message
at one telegraph office in Kansas
City and accepted delivery of 1t
at another. OF course, no reput-
able person would believe such a
story.
In the meantime, Mr., Holzworth
had been attempting to consolidate
his position He sent wire tc
Delegate Dimond asking the latter
to forward to him Immediately for
