IS DISPLAYED IN PARIS
PARIS, Aug. 17. The first Prussian
eagle captured by the French in the present
war swung today above the entrance to

in the center which was borne into battle
by the First Lower Alsatia infantry regi
ment, . o. 132, of the German army, when
it came into action at Saine Blaise, also
known as Santa Marie aux Mines and Mar
kirch. The regiment came from the Ger
man fortress of Strasburg.
The ilag was taken by the Tenth bat
talion of French rifles and was brought to
Paris last night by Colonel Marcel Serrett,
formerly French military attache at Berlin.
Crowds of Parisians stood this morning star
ing at the captured standard.

(l»y Wireless to The Pioneer
FAIRBANKS, Sept. 18.—The Democratic convention for the
Fourth district of Alaska was held in this city this afternoon, and re
sulted in the nomination of Tom McGowan, for senator and the seiec
t on of L W. GruTin of Fairbanks, Vance R. McDonald of Ruby, James
Hastings of Koyukuk and William T. Burns of Fox for members of the
territorial house of representatives.
No Proxies Were Voted
When the committee on credentials made its report it was found
that forty-four out of seventy-five delegates were present. There were
no delegates nor proxies from precincts below Fort Gibbon,
on account of the non-arrival of the steamer Tanaria on its scheduled
time.
Griffin Was Chairman of Convention
E. W. Griffin, president of the Tanana Valley Democratic Club
of this city, was chairman of the convention, and W. F. Wfntely was
the secretary. These gentlemen were also made members of the per
manent Democratic divisional committee, which will have charge of
the party’s affairs during the coming campaign.
McGowan Nominated Without Opposition
Mr. McGowan was nominated without opposition, as also were
Messrs. Griffin and Burns, but there was some opposition to the nomina
tions of McDonald of Ruby and Hastings of Koyukuk.
Bunnell Gets Hearty Reception
Charles E. Bunnell of Valdez, the Democratic nominee for dele
gate to congress, arrived in the city just before the convention ad
journed, and was escorted to the convention hall, where ire made a
stirring address. A big reception and bait wilt be given in ins honor
ioni^nt. ^
May Come ic Iditarod in Launch
It is possible that Candidate Bunnell will malic a WTunwind tom
of the lower Yukon, and may visit Iditarod. He will travel in a fast
gasoline launch. _
LOCALLY IHDGRSED
About 1 o’clock yesterday afternoon The Pioneer received the
following inquiry from the Fairbanks News-Miner:
“Who is Iditarod’s Democratic choice tor representative? Rush
V-AVS-PNER.”
answer.
On account of the very vigorous campaign carried on in these
r>3'rts during the past few weeks by old General Apathy, lire Pioneer
had some difficulty in hnd.ng out who was Iditarod s choice for repre
sentative, but after a round-up of several Democrats now in the city,
the following reply was sent to Fairbanks, in the firm conviction that
it generally expressed the Democratic sentiment of the precinct:
“J c. Moody, the Little Giant of the Kuskokwim, favorably
spoken of.”
Mr. Moody, aside from being a good Democrat, a prominent mem
ber of the Iditarod bar, and the recognized dean of the legal fraternity
of the great Kuskokwim valley, has had plenty of experience in the
halls of" legislation, having been a member of the state senate
of South Dakota for a number of years, fie has also practiced his pro
fession in several states and territories of the Union. ___
