Juaeau, April 5 — It was ;1»n"
l.O'iticed hop*.- tixlay tliat tho i-oniuiK
Alaska delegate tJecticn contest
will carry 'he stritunj; charge that
Charles Sulzer, the Democratic
nominee voted at the November
elec'ion at Charcoal Point near
Ketchikan.
it will be shown that sulzer tried
to vote at Ketchikan, but when he
was informed that he would be re*
<juired to swear in his vote, he
desisted from any further attempt
to yote there ami) went fo Charcoal
1'oin* where he ci'wl ^ot<? i'1 vilola
tion of the territorial efleclioa laws.
It is dainncid by l>olagat© Wick
ershain that neither Kgtcbikau nor
Charcoal Point is the l'gal res
idence of Mr. Sulzer.
This charge comes as a stunner
to Sulzer'g friends, for thoyi did
not thiuk that he personally would
be charged with the v iolatian of
the election laws, and it is thought
that i' Widtersham is able to prove
his charge that it will go a
Ion.* way in discrediting Sulzer.
