Seen this morning Mr. Hanson said that if his friends felt that way he would allow his name to be presented to the delegates. Word received from the interior is that Mr. Hanson will be supported very strongly there and also he will get some support in Prince Rupert. In fact it may be said he is one of the strongest candidates to be before the convention. This now insures at least three names to be nominated. Fred Stork, G. W. Nickerson and Olof Hanson. Possibly there may be others but these have definitely intimated that they are ready to accept nomination if offered them. i ! COWIMFFTFF TO CHAIN .MOVKJ1KNT TO lAJlllilill I Lb I U 7,161.
