APATHY IN ELECTIONS

It is to be hoped that the general apathy which has marked this off-year election campaign will not be reflected when the votes counted tonight and tomorrow throughout the Territory.
 On basis of voting population Alaska should poll, in a year when the presidential issue is not up more than 15,O00 votes and still not have a hundred percent vote. But political leaders hop ing for 14O00 while actually anticipating somewhere around 130O0
 Apathy of elections is of the unsolved nlys- teries The April primary gave strong hint of it this year when of the smallest votes in recent years was recorded. Of course, there many in- dependent voters who do not to be affiliated with any party with the result that the primary vote is up to the poll of general election. But this years primary particularly dormant The same general lack of political interest has been re- flected through the campaign.
 There are at least two generally accepted reasons
 First the campaign has been conducted during the height of seasonal activity in the Territory. large part of the have been engaged in fishing mining and other seasonal work. They haven't had time to pay much attention to things political
 Secondly there has been no outstanding opposi- ton against Delegate Dmond the head of the ticket Even many of his opponents have been concedng his election The attitude is reflected in the money circles There is practically betting reported in todays election There no money to be had that either Republican independent candidates would nseat the Delegate. What few wagers being made had to do with how much of a majority Dimond would roll up
 While it is a fine compliment to Delegate Dimond that he is so universally liked and has made such excellent record it is not conducive to bringing out the vote. Through the years it is shown that the years of the big votes the in which there is a vigorous battle between candidates and strong, bitter partisan feeling is aroused.

HITLER POsTPONEs THE DAY

The German march for return of possessions lost ' ,through the World War continues Avoiding what many Europeans feared would amount to an outright t declaration of war, Adolf Hitler in his speech at Nurnberg yesterday made it clear that the new Ger
 many has no intentions back tracking but is headed forward toward establishing Germany one of the : most powerful nations in the world.
 Clevery evading the question the world was ask ing-"Wir Germany use force to achieve her am bitions for Sudeen Germans?"Hitler talked rather about the rights of the German minority in Czecho- sovakia and of it's self determination to become part of the German nation.
 / It was a typical Hitler speech, and it revealed that the German strong is politically astute as any of the diplomats in Europe. Had he hurled : defiance at the world yesterday he would have had to shoulder the responsibility war in Europe Hit
 Ter was too smart to do that He has indicated that he has no objections to war in order to gain lost :, German prestige but he wants somebody else to be blamed. He would much prefer to internal trouble in Czechoslovaka and then move in under the pretense that he is saving that little Republic from itself Then the burden of responsibility would fall on the Czechs and not Germany. That is the familiar Hitler procedure It has worked before and very likely he figures that it will work again.
 The German leaders, greatest danger is at home and he probably knows it. He has built up military machine comparable with the one with which Kaiser Wilhelm started to march to Paris. That military machine is beginning to feel it's power. What typi- cal Kaisersm Air Minister Goering uttered the other : day when he declared Germany is invincible; we are prepared to withstand blockade of 30 years" Coering is Hitler's fighting man. He is imbuing his army with theory that it is all powerful good fighting psychology. But of these days that machine like the history of all war machines bent on aggression and conquerng will want to prove itself There is indication that Goerng would like to prove it right now Hitlers biggest task will be keeping it in check to await the time when he it to the best advantage
 The Czech incident is far from closed AS the French spokesman said, Hitler's address only post poned the danger for while Germany is again on the march for lost power Hitler gave ndica- ton that it going to halt that march.

LOafiing! TOF'dn,e

DETROIT, Sept. 13 - Without exercns any effort, Billy Rogell, veteran Detroit Tiger shortstop, has crashed the major-league baseball record books on three different oc- casions.
 On June 16, 1886. Rogell played through 10 innings in a game here without having a putout or an as sist. Only once before in American league history and but six times in major-league baseball had a shortstop played 10 innings without accepting a chance.
 Exactly one year later Rogell went through 12 innings at Wash ington without accepting a chance.
 Now Rogell has established a re- cord of inactivity in the batting de- partment by getting seven consecu- tive bases on balls On August 18 in his last time at bat against the Chicago White Sox here he walked. The next day Johnny Whitehead, Sox hurler, gave Rogell five con- secutive passes. The following day Rogell walked his first time up against St. Louis here to extend his string to seven. He rolled out two innings later to break the string, Oral Hildebrand being the enemy pitcher
 On June Is, 1888, Jimmy Foxx of Boston drew six passes in a game at St. Louis. Only one other batter in history had equalled this mark. He was Walter Wilmot of the Chi cago Nationals, who walked six times on August 21, 1891.

Why Don't They Stay in Their Own
 Back Yard?
Philadelphia Record)

Pity the poor Republicans They don't have a yard of their own to play in and so their tongues hanging out they are mooching into the Democratic primaries wherever they can, in Idaho, in Georga.
 They are lonely; political doctors without patients Their own party is bankrupt; they are as bare of a political program Sally Rand is of flanneS And so to keep their hand in they playing Democratic politics.
 We think the President was right to reprlmand them to call their practice that is politically immoral We think the President was right to re- mark that the self-righteous and pretentlous Tory press is rather conspicuously insncere in failing to rebuke the COP for this practice. We think It violates the principle of the direct primary, which is supposed to represent free choice by party mem bers and not by ringers from another party o official candidates to carry the party banner
 But we think that if the Republican leaders were wise they would have scolded their own party long before waiting for the President to act For the Re- publican tactics in creeping into the Democratic Idaho primary to defeat Senator Pope, were con- fession of Republican futiiy. The end result will hurt the elephant more than the donkey.
 This practice is illegal in many States; 1t is sneaky and unworthy anywhere.
 Voters will not trust party which condones such maneuvers. Nor will they be inclined to trust such anti-New Dealers S OConnor who engage in the cog nate maneuver of entering both primaries at once, with political consciences flexible enough to enable them to run as fish and fowl at the same time.

TACOMA. PORT
 CLOSED TIGHT
 OVER TROUBLE
Longshoremen R efuse to Co Through Picket
 Lines of Sailors

TACOMA, Wash, April 30.-Witil only one ship at dock here, the Port of Tacoma was officially closed at o'clock this morning.
 The closing of the port was after longshoremen refused to load the Shepard Line Timber Rush
 Two longshore crews were met by a large force of pickets of the Sailors Union of the Pacific and the longshoremen refused to gc through the picket lines.
 The Waterfront Employers Asso- citation immediately declared tho Port closed to all shipping, except local ferries"
 The trouble is over "jurisdictional duties" believed to be the right of the sailors instead of longshore- men.
