.PH|NN AND M'DONALD, LEGISLATURE CANDIDATES,
 BROADCAST PLATFORMS

Wm. B. Phinn and Geo. F. Mc- Donald, prominent business men of Cordova wh m yesterday were flown to Anchorage, were heard last evening broadcasting over KFQD, Anchorage.
 Both men are Republican candi- dates as Representatives to the Territorial Legislature from this division and made forceful ad dresses, expressing their sincerity in seeking home rule for Alaska. They both stand for the primary law and favor home for pioneer men and women at Anchorage.
 Phinn and Mcdonald have been residents of the Territory for about 30 years, own their own businesses and are not politicians. They be- lieve, however, citizen owes some of his time to public service. So at the request of their friends, they tossed their hats into the arena.
 Mir. Phinn's address was brief but to the point; he desires to see Alaska go forward and, if elected, will confine all his efforts to that goal.
 MT. Mcdonald went on record as favoring construction of the long, hoped for Matanuska- Anchorage road. He also called attention to the fact this division, the Third, pays 75 per cent of all Territorial taxes.
 MT. Mcdonald said he asked an oldtimer, a few days ago, what he thought about the depression. The oldtimer informed him that he had gone through several similar ones and he recalled they lasted just about as long as two pair of pants. Mcdonald said he was now on his third pair, that this pair is now worn so thin that if he sat down on nickle he could tell whether it was heads or tails. In other words, he believes hardtimes are about over.
