STRONG THE ONLY
 MAN CONSIDERED

That Governor Strong is the only nan considered for gubernatorial hon DTS in Alaska, is the statement made last Sunday by Frank Whitely, secre- fary of the Democratic Central Com nittee, who passed by on his way rom Washington to Fairbanks, his place of residence. NIr Whitely said ehat even if in ordinary times anyone mad any chance to step into the pres eat governors shoes there is not the zrost of a show now as the admins ration, in the first place, is too busy to bother about making changes. In the second place, he seems to think, Gov rnor Strong's administration has been
 satisfactory that change is not in contemplation.
 MT. Whitely, as stated, is from Fair hanks and has just come from the na. ional capital. While speaking oi fairbanks it is recalled that Tom Me @awan who was here a few days ago aas become so thoroughly disgusted with the manner in which official Dem oerats are conducting affairs in the fourth division that he has resigned sam the central committee.-Juneau Dispatch

 ROAMING HILLS
Fairbanks Citizen)

Jack Kannelly, the well known Cir cle oldtimer. who is a recent arrival in Fairbanks, reports that an insane man is roaming in the hills between the Chatinika and Tolovana rivers.

TO OUR READERS

The Blade sees much that needs
reforming among our people.
But our policy is constructive,
not destructive. We aim to build
up and improve, not tear down.
Any public institution among
us that is badly managed and
yet deserves to live, we will try
to reform and make truly useful
20 the people. Any bad practice
we see we will try to root up and
cast aside.
As a general rule we have no
quarrel with individuals. We
will fight individuals only in
cases where they assume public
functions and engage in public
