to circular sent out broadcast, con-
tanning his platform. Both he and, t,
J. Donohoe, Democratic National
Committeeman, claim that he VIII
carry the Territory. Mr.. Sutherland
and his supporters are equally con
fident of his victory, but the cam
paign the Republican candidate il
making is claimed by Mr. White to
show that the former is not as sure
Of election as ne claims to be.
The legislative candidates on the
Democratic ticket in this Division
have followed the lead of Mr.. White
in not going on the stump. Most Of
the Republican candidates have
toured al least a portion OF the Di-
vision. Frank Aldrich, Republican
candidate for Senator, has made an
extensive campaign, visiting virtually
all of the Important towns Mr.
Britt, his Democratic opponent, has
confined his campaign to newspaper
advertising and a personal letter
mailed to few individuals in each
locality.
Local Issues Few
Except for a division on the road
building policy of the Territory, there
Is virtually no sharply dividing issue
| between the Democratic and Republi-
can candidates locally. The Re-
| publican candidates, or portion OF
! them, have declared against the
/ avis irn and fn
yor the creation of Territorial road
+! building organization. The Demo-
Gratis favor retention of the present
, system and are claiming thousands
of dollars have been saved by the
Territory and put into roads under
it that otherwise would have gone
I into salaries, equipment, supplies,
I etc.
Jack Mcdonald Democratic candi-
| date for the lower House, in the clos
| ing days of the campaign, brought to
the fore an Indian problem, that has
been kept in the background for
sometime but which has been loom
ing larger and larger turing the past
two years. He openly declared it
time for the general public to recog-
ME the situation. He regards it as
the most serious matter now con-
fronting the Territory. He said he
Is opposed to wholesale voting of
Indians and to indiscriminate adj
mission OF Indians into public
schools. The Republican candidates
have been generally silent on this
issue. Mr. Mcdonald said. he has
received encouraging reports from
outside districts and expects to be
elected
Indian Vote ProbIematic
Just how many Indians will vote
in this Division tomorrow is prob
lematical No accurate forecasts
could be obtained Democratic lead
ers said 800 Indians might go to
the polls and vote If they were not
prevented by judges of the election.
They claim that between 500 and 700
voted in the Republican primary last
April and that Indian politicians are
attempting to get out an even larger
number in the support of certain
candidates in the general election
