IT ONLY REMAINS TO VOTE.

With a total registration Of l664 votes, Juneau broke all former records and is in position to cast record-breaking vote in tomorrow's annual municipal election. The heavy registration, of course is an indication of the unusual interest that is being taken in the election It means that people are not only interested in municipal government but that the candidates for Mayor and Counclmen have been active. And that is good, too Anything that induces people to participate in civic affairs and elections stand at the top of the list is well worthwhile All the candidates then deserve thanks for their activity.
 The Empire has picked candidates There are two complete tickets in the field Mayor Godstein, Counclmen Beistline, George and Messerschmidt, whose terms are now expiring, seeking re-eec- ton on tn Economy Ticket. Former Mayor Thomas B. Judson, G. E. Krause, former Council member, Ludwig Nelson and Hugo Peterson are running on the Progressive Ticket. The seventh candidate for the City Council is John E. Green, also former Councilman.
 All of these men are too well known to the community to need description The Economy Ticket is composed of three business men-Messrs. Goldstein George and Messerschmidt, and MT. Beistline, a longtime employee of the Alaska Juneau. The Progressive Ticket is equally as well known. MT. Judson former mill superintendent of the Alaska Juneau, is a property owner and construction man. Messrs Nelson and Krause are business men and MT. Peterson has been employed by the Alaska Juneau for many years. MT Green is substantial business man of the city. All own property and all are sincerely interested in the future of Juneau.
 With candidates of such caliber there is no need of worrying about the next years city ad- minstration. Whoever is elected, Juneau is assured of a sane, sound and businesslike government The taxpayers will get their moneys worth for every dollar expended.
 The city has a right to be proud of the large registration. It only remains for those who registered to go to the polls tomorrow and vote. The booths will be opened at am. and close at pm Everyone who registered should take the trouble to go to them and vote.
 The taxpayers who cast ballots tomorrow are called upon to vote, also, the question of a bond issue. measure is now pending in Congress that would permit the city to issue $l00,000 in municipal bonds which it is proposed to as a basis for loan from the Federal Government Of that sum, $3O000 will be contributed by the Gov eInment making it necessary for the city to repay only s70000. It will have 25 years in which to redeem the bonds which bear interest at per cent The proceeds of the issue will be used to finance needed public improvements, including permanent streets, bridge Gold Creek and other work. As strictly business proposition the bond referendum should carry Apparently there is mo active opposition to it. There should be none active passive.
 Grover c. Winn, who is concluding IT years of service member of the local School Board is candidate for another three-year term. He is un- opposed He has given lot of time, energy and thought to Juneaus public school system He is the first graduate of the local High School Of course, he will be reelected But everyone who casts ballot tomorrow ought to mark cross opposite his name. He is deserving of tribute for his unselfish services the Board and none could be finer than a record vote for him.
 One thing about tomorrow's election that every voter ought to realize is that it is strictly non- partisan and non political Some of the candidates Democrats. others Republican They, however, not running Democrats and Republicans. They stand on their merits, not on their political beliefs and affiliations And that is as. it should be. Party politics have place in municipal gov ernment. Vote for the tomorrow. Vote for whom you think will serve the public interests best. And remember to vote!
