tire Territory as the distances to be
covered are so vast and every mode
of transportation is required.
The other Territorial officers, the
Commissioner of Education, Attor-
ney- General, Auditor, Treasurer and
Territorial Highway Engineer, are
elected for four years, but as the
delegate is a member of the lower
house of Congress, he must stand
for election every two years.
To serve Alaska well is an ardu-
Gus task for the delegate and he
needs every ounce of energy and
every moment of time to do his work
in Washington.
1t seems contrary to the welfare of
Alaskans, as well as most unfair to
Delegate Dimond that he should be
under the necessity of putting aside
the work of the Territory in order
to build political fences at home.
However, If there should be an op-
position candidate for his office, he
will have no alternative in the mat
ter.
A contest two years from now
would be a different story. After
four years in office the delegate
should personally cover the Terri
tory again. But at this time Dele
gate Dimond deserves the support of
every Alaskan and so far as the
Sentinel is concerned, we are for
him intellectually and hope that
he will not be subjected to the phys
zeal hardships of a political cam
paign during the coming summer
and fall

FOR DELEGATE DIMOND

The preliminaries to hot political
battles in the coming campaigns in
Alaska are now under way. The fill
ing period for party nominations
will close on February 5, after
which the real warfare will begin.
The Democrats will have a COM
plete ticket for all offices, but the
Sentinel hopes that the Republicans
will not have a candidate for the Of
flee of Delegate to Congress.
Delegate Dimond's record during
the past year has been excellent. His
usefulness to the Territory, I'M
doubtedly, will steadily increase
during another term and he should
be returned to office without the
ordeal of an Alaskan campaign so
shortly after the one which resulted
in his election.
A campaign is hardship for a
candidate in any one of the four di-
visions, but it is particularly ex
hausting for candidate of the en-

SAME OLD PROBLEMS

If former American statesmen,

PERSONALITIES

(This column was originally in

I wish you could all have met
WILLIS WARD. Everybody who
did agreed that he was just about
the SWEETEST guy ever to breeze in
to town. Yes, and I wish you could
have met FRANKLIN LETT, re-

over Wards position next year.
Gee, was he ever good looking?
And he was so nice, too.
When the two boys left for the
station, a whole delegation of
folks went down with them. Ward
couldn't find his hat and started
searching on top of and under
wraps and furniture for it, but no
hat appeared. Lett grabbed head
covering belonging to someone-or-
other and jammed it down on his
pals head, but it was far from be-
ing a perfect fit. Ward groaned
and said: "Hat or no hat, / can't
miss that train!" (Whereupon /
had mental picture of KIPKE
holding up the train rather than
leave his star roaming around in
the same city with lot of STAN
peding Gophers.)
But down at the station, while
goodbyes were being said, some
bright child charged upon the
crowd, waving hat wildly aloft.

the train. He was a member of
the Michigan band, who, for some
reason or other, had been left out
of the evenings festivities. Anne

of him when he must have popped
his head out of a train window or
something, for she told him to
come down where the send-off dele
