DELEGATES SEND PROXIES
TO VALDEZ PrOPLE
Seward People Put All Their Eggs
Into One Basket for Convention
The men elected as delegate to the
Skagway convention from Seward
have sent their proxies .0 Committe -
man Bunnell of Valdez who asked for
them. There are two panes in the
Democratic ranks in that ci .y and it
is feared in some quarters that the
proxies may be used to further the
interests of one of the par*t *s to the
detriment of the other, lut e two
parties agreed in the primar elec
tion but the bieach has not bc*-*i heal
ed although the Seward debates can
hardly be blamed for not 1 owing
that. It is hoped by some !ocM De u
ocrats that the proxies wdl be used
for the general good of thj party,
however, in spite of the haste.
