operation of these offices and boards Individually

AS consequence it should also be obvious that
whatever legislative ideas candidate for any OF
these offices may have he has in fact no more actual
power to put them into effect an official than as

Again Territorial officers administrators not

To include legislative issues in platform or as
arguments for election to administrative office either
shows ignorance of the functions of that office on
the part of the candidate using them, or desire to
befuddle the voters.
Competency for the particular position candidate
for Territorial office is seeking is the one basis on
which voters can neligently base their opinions and

cluded Saturday with concert on each of the two
DAYS The music festival is than local COM
munity affair 1t embraces the young musicians from

the schools of these four cities of the Southeast
should get together in musical festival 1t means
that in another year two youngsters from these
Alaska schools may be qualified to take part In state
or national festivals in the States.
1t is laudable undertaking and worthy the sup

things in the future.

Territorial offices be taken indicators that the
general information regarding the duties handled by
