NO PERMANENT ORGANIZATION
 OF 6. 0. P. YET
Republicans Going to List en to Keynote Speech
 Despite Everything
SHARP CLASH OCCURS
 OVER CREDENTIALS
Dele g ates Determined to Fight It Out If It Takes
 All Spring

IT O
 Status quo was still the situation with the Alaska Republican conven- ton meeting in Douglas as the aft ernoon of the second day of the sessions slowly turned toward eve ming and the prospect of keynote speech to be delivered to a group of G. O. P, delegates not yet organized into permanent organization Judge H. B. LeFevre is to deliver it at 8 o'clock this evening in the I. O. O. F. hall in Douglas.
 Today was gwen over entirely to the well known game of politics; the ayes and the noes apparently still standing at loggerheads and noth- ing brought out in the open or on the floor to indicate that Territorial Chairman Albert White was not still in drivers seat. There was evil dence that plenty of tacks were being dropped along his route, but apparently, the Territorial Chair man wasn't much worried, for when the "buz" was the loudest this after noon, MT. White was reaching for his hat to go out and get bit oi refreshments, an expression on his face similar to the Marines when they have the situation well in hand
 Minority Active
 The minority, however, was not idle and general observation late this afternoon was that any little thing might tip the apple cart. There appeared to be willing hands to push from both sides.
 Judge J. Lindley Green of An chorage, Chairman of the Creden- tials committee, announced at 3 o'clock that his committee would not report before 10 o'clock tomor- row morning. The gossip was that the anticipated arrival of Lester O. Gore of Ketchikan, Republican candidate for Delegate to Congress, on the Northland tonight might have something to do with it.
 A sharp little clash that revealed the tenseness of the situation broke out in credentials this afternoon when Dr. R. N. Scruby of Wran- gell attempted to get the commit tee to recognize telegraphic in formation on some proxies. He said he was protesting the attitude Of the committee and was going to keep on fighting as long as he felt somebody wasn't getting a square deal.
 q take that as an insult" sharp ly retorted Chairman Green. "I resent any man saying this com mittee isn't giving everybody a fair hearing"
 Insult Charged
 Lets have vote?" somebody suggested.
 T don't care whether you have a vote or not" said Dr. Scruby, you are all of the same mind anyway"
 That's an insult" challenged w. H. Caswell of Ketchikan, T won't stand that sort of thing from any man." pushing back his chair. Nobody can say I'm of one mind. I make up my own mind"
 Two or three men moved over with let's get down to business 2 mo use in arguing" and other calming remarks, and Dr. Scruby walked away, more serious trouble being averted.
 A vote of the committee on the matter showed them unanimously on record against accepting any further telegrams relative to prox- ies.
 The delegates spent much of the day milling around the hall, conversing in groups and apparently
