^SEWARD, ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 8, MIR_•_Ten Ceuta the Copy
At two o'clock this atfernoon. government time, the
presidential election was still in doubt, it was utmost im
possible to secure any news from the various Alaska dis
tricts up to that time but the later results will be published
and sent out as fast as possible. In the Territory it is
evident that Sulzer is making a tremendous tight and
many of his supporters see a chance for him but it must
always be remembered that Wickersham gets his biggest
vote in the creek districts and these are the last to be
heard from. It would be very safe to predict the election
of Wickersham in spite of the fact that his majorities in
Fairbanks city and Anchorage were not at all as large as
his supporters had counted on. the results from Juneau
had not been learned when this was written. Grigsby
seems to be safe foi election as attorney general. With
the exception of Fairbanks where Schofield beat him badly
he is running very strong. The majority for Sulzer in
Nenana is probably the most surprising of* all. Jack Ho
nan is probably eiected senator from this division. Jack
Noon sems to be safe for the house and \\. I\ Henry, the
other lolal man, is going strong. Frame has been evi
dently snowed under except in his home town. The Sulz
cr majority in the First is being looked for but Douglas
and l readw ell only gave him a slight lead. He did not ex
pect much on the island, however. W here Sulzer's big
\ote in the First will come is probably at Ketchikan.

Owing to the many government political caoies aim
tlu* political cables for private people coming the regular,
press cables are not coming in very fast today, it is dear
that the pro-Germans voted strong against W ilson in New
\ (irk and other large cities and counteracted the vote ol
labor in tile cities. Early tliis afternoon the cables sain
that the result of the presidential election probably de
pended on Minnesota which has twelve electoral votes.
In Missouri the contest was also in doubt. She has IS
electoral votes. In both these states W ilson had a slight
load but the votes front the rural districts were evidently
cutting them down. It is likely that the two states, any
now. will decide the presidency. The Chicago Herald this
morning claimed Wilson elected and Manager McCormick
said ail was won. Just as this was being written the cable
came showing that Sulzer carried Gastineau channel by
over four hundred votes.

SEWAIU)
Seward gave Wickersham a major
ity over Sulzer but placed the Demo
cratic candidate for the senate, Jack
Ronan, at the head of the poll. The
vote for Mr. Ronan was a splendid
one and well deserved. It is worth
stating in this respect that Ronan
and Wickersham were once oppon
ents for election to congress but this
time the local man beat the Delegate
hollow. That Seward went so strong
ly dry is, perhaps, a matter for sur
prise but not to everyone. The large
vote cast shows the growth of the
city over last year and is a matter for
congratulation. John Noon and Bill
Henry also got splendid local votes
and they deserved it.
