OF CONVENTION
Harrals Friends in Interior Em
barrassed Because O'Connor
Made Committeeman
In anticipation of decisive ac
tion upon the relative merits.of
the two conventions at Valdez
last inontti—that which nominat
ed Robert W. Jennings as Dem
ocratic candidate for delegate
and designated A. J. Daly as
the choice for national commit
teeman, and that which nomi
nated Martin llarrais as candi
date and William O'Connor for
national commit Iceman—about
seventy members of the Tanana
Valley Democratic eluh attended
the special meeting of the club
in ttie auditorium, last night.
There were present Charles K.
Davidson, a delegate to the Val
dez convention, and now terri
torial committeeman in IhcKair
.banks district, and John Moe, who
held a pr«»;.y at Valdez. from the
I Fairbanks district. Davidson

Holh Davidson and Moe were
questioned by the members pres
ent, hut most of tiny discussion
was at random. The important
point seemed to lie in a question
of technical procedure in politi
cal . convenlions, and nobody
present seemed to be familiar
with such questions. According
ly, Ihe question of endorsing one
convention or the other was not
brought to- a vote. A telegram
was read from the acknowledged
and long-time leader of the Dem
ocratic party at Nome, declaring
fraudulent the Nome proxies vot
ed in the Harrais-O'Connor can
vnnlfon and refusing to recog
nize that convention. Valdez
Democrats also sen! a similar
repudiation.—Fairbanks Times.
