According to the Weekly Alaskan,
of Anchorage, Wickersham has been
nominated for delegate by the "'progres
sive democrats” at a convention held at
Valdez on April 15. The Alaskan has
the following to say concerning this
rather unexpected and somewhat mysti
fying event:
The progressive democrats held their
convention In Valdez on April 15, and
It was a party success from every
standpoint, and many delegates were
present from the various precincts.
The meeting was a most enthusiastic
one and every delegate warmed up to
the nomination of Wickersham for dele
gate and cobb for territorial attorney,
and that was the Anal outcome of the
proceedings. Resolutions were adopted
and a platform formulated that met the
approval of the convention, and one
that cannot help but meet the wishes
of the voters at the coming election.
Thai Ihe delegate was popular with the
various representations was proven from
: the start as no other name was put be
| fore the body for consideration.
John H. Cobb, of Juneau, received the
I unnminous support of the convention
I for territorial attorney and there Is no
doubt of his success at the election next
| fall.
