Believe Democrats Have
Present indications point to the
decisive defeat of Delegate Wicker
sham and the election of Chas. A.
Sulzer, the Democratic nominee to
the office of Delegate to Congress from
Alaska. The election like that in the,
states will be a close one, and like
the national election, is filled with
! surprises. The First division did not
come tip to its expected plurality in
favor of Sulzer but the Fourth divi
sion, usually counted as the strong
hold of Mr. Wickersham, gave him
little better than a standoff.
This is probably as great a surprise
to the opponents of Mr. Wickersham
as to his friends. In the Third divi
sion the situation was even more com
plicated than in the other divisions.
Cordova, usually opposed to Wicker
sham and indicating such by a slight
'Plurality against him, this year gave
!him a plurality, but up the road where
he has usually polled a strong vote, he
[fell down materially.
Seward which was expected to give
Sulzer a strong vote, went for Wick,
while in Valdez, where no one but the
I’rosp^tojr expected Sulzer to do more
than break even, Mr. Wickersham
was defeated by 35 votes. This was
due to the efficient campaign against
the Delegate by his opponents in this
city.
Katalla. usually 90 per cent VVick
ersham, gave a plurality against him,
while Anchorage, which was looked
upon by many to give Mr. Wicker
sham a good plurality, due to.the fact
that all the newspapers there were
boosting for him, gave him a plural
ity of less than'100 over Sulzer.
Lena Morrow Lewis, the Socialist
candidate, received an immense vote,
as was expected by those who have
kept track of the lady's excellent cam
paign methotis. ... ...
The following table gives the vote
for Delegate in the various precincts
received up tcf the time of going to
