 4th Division
 Senate - Frank Gordon (hold- over). Leo ROgge, John ButroVieh' Andrew Nerland.
 House - Jesse Lander, Alaska Linck, Robert Hopes, Harry Bad ger and Maurice Johnson.
 One Republican was elected in the First, Steve Vukovich for theI House. We'll liked, sound American, Steve's vote can be considered al fine personal tribute to the man, asI in the face of a virtually straight Democratic victory in the First, Steve running on the minority ticket, boiled an outstanding voteI throughout the division.
 Second division will send OneI Republican to the session, B. G.l Baker, Nome man, elected to theI House. With results from the Third still uncertain, Almer Peterson, Repub- llcan for the House, appears cer- tain of election. Remainder proba- bly, will be all Democrats.
 The Fourth will send two Repub- lican Senators, Andrew Nerland, veteran of many a session in the House, and John ButroVich, while Maurice Johnson, also Republican, is assured of election to the House from the Fourth Out of its delega- Gion of nine, Fourth will have three Republicans, best showing COP made anywhere in the Terri tory.
 Although Delegate-Elect B. L.. CBob) Bartlett, (Demo) defeated John Manders, (Rep) better than two to one throughout the Terri tory there was ample indication the GOPers for the first time in 10I years consolidated their efforts and worked for their ticket. It's barely possible the so-called Whites and the anti Whites walked on differ ent sides of the street in their en- deavors, but doubtless they were headed toward the same objective election of a few Republicans. The big vote given COPS Manders in Juneau, where there is more than a smattering of anti-New Deal feeling; in Anchorage where the anti-administration Harvey Smith Karl Drager Democratic faction tunctioned and in the Fourth where the Republicans showed their maxi mum strength is indicative the ele. phant boys were on some kind of 6 partially united march, or, per haps just standing on their aborlg- inal rights. There was a day when Alaska Republicans elected a Dele gate to Congress by having that Delegate sponsor the Indian claims legislation. It also meant Repuhli- can control of the legislature in those days by winning the Indian vote. This trip G0Pers chose to attempt to pass the Indian claim ball to the Democrats but the 2 donkey-riders passed up the toss : though Republican Manders obvi- ously gained by capitalizing on the try. They came, as MT Churchill might say, with too little, too late
