VouSU9 lQJi svtyW
 Juneaus three voting precincts caucused last night at the Moose hall electing 55 delegates to the di- visional Democratic convention to be held December B at Sitka.
 Verne Metcalf, Territorial legis- Iator. was elected permanent cau- GUS chairman for the Democrats of Juneau over nominees Ken Bow man and Russell Maynard. Eliza beth Peratrovich was elected unan- |imously as permanent caucus secre- tary.
 First and Third Democratic pre- cincts elected their delegates quick llv and nearly unanimously. A split of opinion was evident in the Sec ond precinct as persons present l from that precinct gradually pared down a list of some 50 nominees to the allotted 23 finally approved.
 The only general floor squabble came when Gene Lockridge, as chairman for the First precinct committed, arose moving that the IS prospective delegates picked by his group be unanimously approved by the whole caucus. Maynard questioned the right oi the action, a recess was called, ana ;Lockridge withdrew the motion. Later, nominees chosen by each precinct were unanimously elected as delegates representing Juneau Democrats to the Sitka convention.
 Delegates from each precinct will !now, according to the code of the Democratic party of the Territory, represent the party as one precinct.
