ton of Alaska population. Most of them pretty well
known to the in their respective Divisions Those
voters who do not know them should make it point to do
for it is only by selecting the candidates of quality and
character that the interests of Alaska be carried
forward for the general good.
Under our primary system it is more imperative
that the electorate do its duty at this election than at the
general baoting in September when party loyalty and the
selves that choose their representatives this time and
the best results for the whole people only be attained
when the best put forward by both the Democrats
and the Republicans
Enter your party primary Tuesday and mark your
ballot for the who know have the interests of the
Territory at heart and in whom you place con-
dence if they eventually elected to office. 1t is
party, community and personal duty.

ons those who ultimately sit in the next winters
Legislature That Legislature will be faced with problems
vital than which have confronted the legislative
body years Alaska through it's Legislature not only
keep in with development and but it
guard against iadvised legislation which might tend
destroy the industries and undertakings which are
putting the Territory forward Ask yourself when voting

For the Territorial Offices it must be remembered that
