 Mrs. Hansen's report is as fol lows:
 The seven clubs, Anchorage, Juneau, Douglas, Skag way, Wran gell, Kodiak and Seward, that make up the Alaska Federation of Women's Clubs, are well into the eleventh year Of their cha work. While these clubs have not grown in number nor size, the fact that each continues and ac- complishes much worthwhile .civir and cultural work in their com munlty is sign of their perman- ence.
 The Alaska Federation Year Book published in 1928, of which 1000 copies were sent broadcast over the country, have given all Alaska wide publicity. Librsfies Libraries are one of the prin- ciple interests of the Skagway Seward, Kodiak and Wrangell clubs. At the last session of the Legislature the Alaska Fedora. tion fostered bill for library aid in small towns. The bill was lost but will be introduced at the next session.
 The Skagway and Wrangell clubs sponsored "Fairs"-Skag4 way, "The Harvest Festival" the proceeds to be used for civic i'm. provement. Wrangell, "The Com munity Fair" the proceeds given for the benefit of the local hos pital.
 The Douglas Woman's Clui, meets twice a month, and has an active membership. The club ha been enjoying interesting depar.- ment programs

"The entire country In interested

discussing the appeal for a federal
investigation. "Never since the days
Of reconstruction has such a cam

fighting for the same rights the
South was fighting for in those
days"
Griffin stated that one Of the
large newspaper syndicates Of the
country had sent n representative 10

paign. "The friends Of the admins
tration claim we are injuring Hi
dalgo county by the publicity given

Griffin stated that he is n demo-

Governor Smith and the entire demo-
cratic sttae ticket, and though he
participated in the democratic pri-
maries he did not feel. in view Of re-
cent disclosures. he Is under obliga-
tions to support the democratic

The McAllen attorney asserted that
administration leaders gave a bar
becue for voters Saturday and issued
instructions to the effect that no
alien or other illegal votes would be
permitted.

Stating there had been no grand

the county despite repeated charges
or inefficiency and incompetence
made at mass meetings. Griffin de-
cIared that one Of his. first acts in
the event of his election will be to
'impanel a grand jury which will

Referring to the pencil campaign,
