Back Troy and Connors The candidacies of Jonri W. Troy for Governor and J. J. Connors for Collector Customs, already sup- ported Dy the organizations in the other three Divisions, were also erdorsed by the First Division Committee. Their names, together with those of the other three, will' be certified by the Committee to e National Committeeman, the Territorial Committee and the Delegate to Congress. The races for committee en- dorsements for two of the posi- tions—judge and marshal, were close at the outset although the final votes were said to have been unanimous. On the first ballot for Judge, Mr. Hellenthal and Judge Holzheimer each received six votes and one was cast for| J. A. Hellenthal. Mr. Hahoney| was selected on the first vote, re- | celving seven to six for James McCloskey, long-time Democratic worker of this city. Holzheimer Releases Supporters | After a brief caucus, during a recess yesterday afternoon, Judge' Holzheimer, in the interest of par- ty harmony and to prevent what might have been a prolonged dead- lock leading to future friction within the organization ranks, re- leased his own supporters from their pledges and the election of S Hellenthal was then made unan- imous. i Judge Holzheimer was then unanimously endorsed for United States District Attorney, with Henry Roden for second choice. This gave the Ketchikan Demo- crats two of the three places on the slate, and attained the rec-, ognition they had sought so far as division of patronage was con- | cerned. !

Mahoney, of Ketchi- kan, and James Dolan, Wrangell, members of the Democratic Di- visional Committee which has just cempleted a meeting here, have been invited to be guests of the Chamber of Commerce at noon to- morrow at Bailey’s Cafe.

The Delegate's letter was referred to R. E. Robertson, prom- inent local attorney, for study and, report.

Transportation is tied up in many sections of the country. There is intense suffering and even death in a wide area of the nation from the Northwest to the Great i Lakes, from whence the icy blast is heading eastward, and from Canada to Texas. The storm rules with un- abated fury today. By nightfall the weather man said the Eastern sea- board will be feeling the full effects of the disturbance. In this city it is estimated that 11,000 homeless flooded the charity shelters and po- lice stations. Six are known to have frozen to death. The mercury at noon today was at zero and 10 degrees below zero is predicted in this section of the country, There is no immediate re- lief in sight. Highways in the big storm swept section of the nation are lined with helpless automobiles. Air, rail and bus traffic is crip- pled through the Middle States. The thermometer is 55 degrees below zero at Moran, Wyoming. It is 41 degrees below at Beidji, Minnesota. Freezing temperatures are re- ported in all sections of the sunny South. | Fairbanks Bond Act Is Signed by Hoover WASHINGTCN, Feb. 8—Presi- dent Hoover has signed the act authorizing Fairbanks to issue bonds up to $100,006 for construct- ing and equipping a public: school. | | | Congress Is Slow; Joint Session Called To Get Information WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.— Congress has been called for a Jjoint session to hear from the Electoral College that Franklin D.
