VICTORY SURE, DECLARE RIVAL
 LEADERS HERE
Is Democratic Year Every where, Says Connors-
 Gardner Claims Victory

AlAo Q DClAiONl dJlk yCdl llOlli Alaska to Florida and tomorrow will witness the biggest turnover 'of political power in recent years" declared J. J. Connors, National Committeeman of that party, here today. His claims to Alaska were disputed by local Republican lead CTS, and C. T. Gardner. G. O. P. candidate for Senator in this Di- vision and manager of the local campaign, said there will be noth- ing to the election tomorrow except the Republican ticket.
 This is but one sample of the varying views of the two parties and their candidates, Others could be offered but there would be little difference in their nature.
 Even Break in Juneau
 MT. Gardner said reports from party workers everywhere told a story of success in tomorrow's bat tie of ballots. He didn't concede the Democrats any chance to win anywhere along the line. He fore cast victory for the Republican Party throughout the Territory
 In, the First Division, he was con- fident that his ticket, running under the Harmony for the Par tvs Sake" slogan, would receive large majorities. He predicted that he and his Democratic opponent, AL len Shattuck, would break even in this city.
 Alaska With tine Nation
 Alaska is in line with the rest of the Nation this year, and while the country at large is registering it's disapproval of the Hoover Ad- ministration for its atrocious tariff legislation, its straddling on Pro- hibition, it's ineffectiveness in re- lieving unemployment and lack of leadership on virtually every other national problem, Alaskans are go- ing to vote the Democratic ticket from top to bottom in greater numbers than every before," de- clared MT. Connors.
 This is Democratic year in every sense of tha word. The peo- pie of the. country are going to elect a majority of Democrats to both the Senate and House of Rep- resentatives in the Congress, turn ing to them for relief from the all most unbearable conditions that exist at present And Alaska is go- ing to elect Democrats in sympathy with the next Congress; Alaskans are tired of being made the tool of political bosses and would-be dictators and tomorrow will register their disapproval of them and their tactics by voting for the straight Democratic ticket"
 Hard Fight Here
 The First Division campaign was the hardest fought in the entire Territory, MT. Connors pointed out. He predicted the Democratic leg islative ticket would overcome the handicap of the Indian bloc vote and defeat the Wickersham Paul. Gardner Scott alliance.
 . "The voters of the First Divi- sion," he said, "are fully awake to what it is proposed to hand to them under the Republican candi- dates plea of party loyalty and will not be misled by the demand made by these office seekers that party unity must be preserved. When Messrs. Gardner and Scott left their own political habitations and adopted the wigwams of the Steel Paul combine for the sake of tying up the 1,00O-odd Indian votes con- trolled by William L. Paul they forfeited all rights to consideration at tie hands of their former sup porters. They and their allies snould be and will be defeated.
 "The cleancut and progressive program sponsored by the Demo- cratic Party and put before the public by George B. Grigsby, can ui6ate for Delegate to Congress, is strikingly in contrast to the time worn platitudes and vote-catching devices offered by our opposition. MT. Grigsby and his co-candidates
