 In recent years the Fisher Bro thers, especially Fred and Charles, have branched out in their ac- tivities. Lawrence is president of the Cadillac Motor company.

THE JOHN FRAME TICKET

A great many puns could be made
about the FRAME ticket, but such
course would only befuddle the
issue.
The people of Alaska however
are entitled to know something
about certain candidates.
JOHN FRAME is supporting the
following ticket;
Forest J. Hunt for Senator.
Pat Gildea of Ketchikan, Eugene
Wacker of Ketchikan, A. L. Otis,
of Ketchikan, and Charles Darwell,
of Wrangell, for representatives.
Frame is Opposing Sutherland.
Frame is supporting George Orig
shy for Delegate to Congress.
The Full Plan.
The full plan is to get the help
of the Democrats CRANES real
party aff1liation) and nominate the
supposed weakest Republicans in
primaries and then knife them in
the general election. That is how
Otis gets In on Frames ticket.
What A Combination.
Here is a combination to make the
gods weep-George Grigsby, John
Frame, Forest J. Hunt. Too bad
to find Mr.. Hunt in such bad com
pany. Mr. Hunt doesn't like to be
"bossed" by William L. Paul and
so he takes on the yoke of John
Frame This is a queer world
These three are supporting Eu-
gene Wacker, Pat Gildea, Charles
Darwell for the House. Otis is only
on their ticket to be knitted later
(They will be fooled).

POVERTY

Working on solution for the
widespread idleness (lack of work.
which by the way Coolidge calls
prosperity, and Hoover terms wond-
erful commercial success, it was
found that there is $1,000 in indebt-
edness throughout the listed States
and territories each 500 in
gold there is in existence. This
find, alone, is enough to breed all
sorts Of worry, hardship and COM
mercial failure. Then on top of thai
it is estimated that more than four
million men in the United States ara
jobless. Figure out q prosperity
angle to this il you can. There has
been much more of luck in Coolidge
safely hedging through his terms of
office than there has been manage
ment. Who ever takes his place
will have mighty reconstruction
job on his hands, Coolidge, the
mediocre, will step out with a re-
cord Of prosperity behind him; a
much more brainy man may take his
place and be condemned for the fail
ures of his predecessor. Such Is
the fickleness Of Lady Luck.
