dova Mr. llarrais said: "It. was
lucky I went to Cordova just when
1 did as I met. many Alaskans who
were returning to Iheir homes in
the interior. They were from all
sections and were pleased 1 had
been honored by I lie nomination
and assured me I bey would work
in my interests. I met people
there whom I could not have seen
for three months and they will all
begin working for me when they
jret home. They were such men
as Frank Man ley, Frank Reese,
• >f Iditarod, Henry Hiley, of Fair

tlie report that lie was a parly
1o the mauufaeture of proxies al
leged to have been manipulated
here, lie was omphalic in his de
nial and said: "I have heard the
• barge proxies were made here
at the eon vent ion, bill I do not
believe iI. If there was anything
of the sort I did no| know of it
ftnd would not, have been a parly
to Mich work. I don't believe
there is anything to the rumor
• except election talk to discredit
.me."
Mr. llarrais said lie would take

people of Yahlez while here and
would announce the dale of the
meeting after conferring with
