Alaska is '>4.718 persons, according to

by a small margin.
The figures as made public by Supt.

population of Alaska as given by the
census of 1910 was 64.356. or ».638 more
than that of 1920.
The figures for the different cen.
sus divisions as announced heretofore
and confirmed by C. W. Hawkes

Alaska and in charge of the enumen
fion in the district, show that the

fo rthe present census showing an
increase for the ten years of 2.199
persons. The Second Judicial Divi

of 12,351. is covered by the fifth and
sixth census districts and shows a de

Division, corresponding approximately
to the second and fourth census dis
tricts, In 1910 had a population of 20,.
078 as compared with 21,787 in 1920, an
increase of 1,809. A decrease is shown

(From Juneau Daily Capital. Feb. u.j
Possibly the most interesting con
test now being waged in the Territory
for federal office is over the Governor
ship. While there are various an I
sun<1 r>' gentlemen who would be per
fectly willing to have this honor come
their way. yet there are but two active
Alaska candidates, George C. Hazelet
of Cordova, and Judge James Wicker,
sham, of Juneau, and formerly from
Fairbanks.
In th<- several divisions of the Ter
ritory lines are being tightly drawn
and th« contest promises to become
even more bitter. Harmony or com
promise, unfortunately, seems now out
of the question. Both Judge Wicker -
sham and .Mr. Hezelet had an eye on
the executive mansion at Juneau is
early as 191fi, when it seemed that
Judge Hughes would lx* elected.
But when the Republican party
went down to cl* feat these ambitious
gontlernent did not lose courage, but
patiently bided their time. And now
each believes that the hour has ar
rived for cashing in. The present ex
ecutive. Governor Thomas Riggs, has
indicated that he is willing to retire
from th,- office*' any old time after
March 4. altho his term of four yours
does not expire until April 1922.
i With the idea, that an appointment
would be made a few weeks after the
I inauguration of IVesident Harding,
the Heading Citizen of Cordova and
| the Copper River section, fcuid the
! leading Citizen of Alaska, buckled on
I the armor and wen*, to it. Citizen
Hazel* t entered the arena first and
imhnted'lately attached th*- Organization
of the Territory, of which he became a
component part at the primaries when
he was elected National Telega t- .
As v;ew«l by his opponents Mr.
Hazelet and the element supporting
him selected John C McBride to run
as National Committeeman. They
took upon themselVes the responsibili
ty of seeing that he got enough re
publican and Democratic votes to as
sure his success at the polls. And
while Mr. McBride was attending to
soi s conducted a successful fight.
At the same election Mr. Hazajet j
was fortunate enough to became a j
national delegate by a plurality of 257
votes. He immediately secured thej
proxy of Mr. McBride and proceeded ;
to the Chicago convention, to act in ;
dual capacity. There he. was on:
friendly terms with National Chair- j
man Will Hays and sought to make ;
himself strong with some of the!
Republican leaders.
Upon his return to Alaska the gub- j
ernatorial candidate took up the mat- |
ter of fortifying himself through an
organization. After consultation
with Mr. McBride, the. latter appoint
ed four Divisional Chairmen . Judge
l.omen, of Nome, candidate for Judge,
was named in the Second division:
Tom MarqiKWi*. of Fairbanks, also an
aspirant for Judge, was named in Mv
Fourth: Mr. Hazelet. of Cordova, who
expects to be Governor, represents the
Third: Judge J. R. Beegle. of Ketch -
ikan, was named in the First, but ow
ing to ill health he went South and
the responsibility was assigned by Mr. j
McBride, who is a candidate for Col
lector of Customs.
These chairmen built up their or- ,
ganization by appointing loyal follow- !
ers in many of the precincts. When!
it came to endorsing candidates for
office a general feeling of reciprocity
prevailed and of course Mr, Hazelet
swapped influence with his aspiring
brethern and secured an official en
dorsement. He was also endorsed by
a number of Republican clubs In the
Third and Fourth divisions. So he is
fully equipped I* present his claims
to the national leaders.
Judge Wicker sham was « nttie ia e
in shying his hat into the ring. He
contented himself with securing many
Republican club endorsements in the
Second and First divisions. He also
circulated petitions in various parts of
the Territory and the names are said
to number many more than the num
ber of Republicans who voted at the
November election. He is now in
Washington, where he expects soon to
tike his seat in Congress, having been
declared elected in November 1918.
His friends claim that as the favor,
ite son of Alaska, and with his political
connections in the states, and among
certain Republican Senators and party
leaders, that he Is assured of support
that spells success. He Is said to
have always been friendly with Sen t
tor Poindexter, of Washington State,
and made the fight with him some
years ago in opposition to the Morgan
[Ouggenheim Interests, that sought to
secure the group of what wax known
as the Cunningham coal olajmis. in the
Katalla fields.
These sanx- supporters declare that
Judge Wickersham is beyond question
the brainiest and biggest man in AJas
kn. That he has battled for her ad
vancement, lo. the.se many moons, and
•haf he is now entitled to end his ea
rn • r with an honorable position which
h>* would grace and is eminently qual
ified to fill. They further contend
that under no circumstances can Mr
Hazelet secure the coveted honor,
either in appointment or confirmation
This later assumption is based large
ly on the determination of Judge
Wickersam to carry the fight to the
highest court. He declares that for
twelve or fifteen years past Mr. Haze
lct has been on the Guggenheim pay
roll, that he is now manager of their
Chilcat Oil company at K at alia, and is
and has been recognized for years as
their political representative. In a
public, statement the Judge declared
among other things as follows:
"The issue is now squarely presented
to President Harding: Shall the Al
