"Those opposing Hazcledt have made
the charge that he was the candidate
of the Guggenheim interests, which
control many of the territory's lead
ing Industries and also hold a practi
cal monoiioly of livuiaportation be
tween Alaska and the Pacific coast. It
is claimed, however, that the charge
of Guggenheim affiliations laid against
the Cordova man has not been sus
tained by any evidence **rosented in
opposition to his candidacy. It Is
nevertheless clear that, although no
evidence, has been laid before the In
terior Department, in support of the
charge, Hazelett. has suffered some
what from the fact that he had form
erly l*e«n identified with the Guggen
