Opposition Developing. That there will be much oppos- thon to Clark is apparent today. ‘Those who oppose him “wi out the facts that he {a closely allied with the Guggenheim inter- eats in Alaska. A political storm is Hable to result from the nomination. Walter BE. Clark is a newspaper man of national prominence. At Washington he serves as the rep resentative of the New York Sun and Seattle Post-Inteltigencer, &, H. Stevens, editor of the Nome Gold Digger, and an old time Alas- kan, when informed by The Star that Governor Hoggatt had resigned, and that W. B, Clark had been nom- fnated by President Taft, expressed * the greatest surprive, W abeurd,” sald Stevens. “Clark has only been in Alaska once In bin life, and that was on a trip solicit- ing advertising for a Beattle paper. ‘There are dozens of good Alaskans from which number Taft could eas- fly select a man acceptable to the entire country. “When the people of Alaska hear of the nomination of Clark there will be an awful ‘holler’ Certainly the appointment will not meet with favor from a majority of the true Alaskans. From indications = it seemed apparent to us of the north that in selecting officers for Alas- ka President Taft would choose Alaskans or men closely associated with Alaska Interonts. “It i# quite certain that our dele- gate, James Wickersham, was not consulted in the matter, for he never would have consented to the appointment of a man who has had fan little to do with Alaska as Clark. “There is no question in my mind but that Clark's appointment will stir up great feeling in the north. He will not be welcome in any part of Ainska, except, possibly, by the corporations. On the face of It, this appointment shows that It was made at the request of the trusts.” JAPANESE CAPTURE CITY OF VANCOUVER VANCOUVER, B.
