FRED JOHNSTON
of Fairbanks

The boy Of 1923 became the man
Of 1927. Fred Johnston, a man of
few words, made his presence felt
in all the legislation Of 1927. He
is man of proven honesty. No one
can stampede him. But with every
sudden shock, he proved his strength
of character.
President Howard gives the cre-
dit for the Agricultural College ap-
preparation to Senators Pratt and
Dunn and Representatives Fisher
and Sheldon. AS a matter of fact,
it was consideration for Johnston
and Ross that prevented the defeat
of the College bill in the Senate.
Johnston is one of the strong men
Of the Republican party. He gives
credit to the Intelligence of the
Fourth Division. His view of the
problems of Alaska is comprehens-
i've and if adopted would make for
better Alaska.
