 We said Steve, speaking of himself and his partner. figured after We got the Job done, the plumbing ought to last here for al least 20 years, so we went on up to Juneau. and Tfe been working out of there every since He sells suits.
 Steve. who is One of the four nominees on the COP ticket for a seat in the House from this DiTis- ion. had this 10 say about his can didaey:
 T have worked in mining camps and logging and mills and put in l six years with the Land Office at Juneau. and believe that I know what il is all about.

D. C.. management and control of Alaskan I resources.
 T believe in a fair deal to en- ployer and labor as we'll: that these two must get together, and 1 pre- sume that it will benefit both par l ties and Alaska as a whole to do this. I am free from any faction and I think I am able to do my own l thinking"
 With active Democratic Territor- l ial Chairman Howard Lyng on the l job for the donkey-riders and the l GOPers with some widely known men in the field. the political cam 1 paign is warming up in the Second Division.

Cochran is seeking reelection and being opposed 10 GOPer Harry | Egbert, engineer in the Nome City Fire Department. It's the first aI- tempt for Engineer Egbert and hes up against a tough proposition to l unseat veteran "O.D9, who has been in there for the last three or four sessions Of the Legislature and do- ing a fine job of it.
