PRESIDENTIAL RACE EXPECTED TO BE CLOSEST IN MANY YEARS
By Alexander R. George AZ NeNsfeaInres MriLar

W ASHIN Presidential preference polls and analyses by most political observers indicate that the Roosevelt Q Dewey contest will be the closest in 2S years. II may be the hottest race since the famous Hayes-Tilden dispute 6S years ago.
 There hasn't been a really close contest for the presidency since Woodrow Wlson nosed out Charles Evans Hughes in 1916 by margin of g electoral votes. ut is the cleo tors who technically receive the votes They in turn name the presi- denL) Early returns indicated Hughes had a substantial lead. The morning after election day New York newspapers had headlines reading Sweeping Victory for Hughes"
 The Associated Press, however. withheld its announcement of the. result until votes in California and other far western states, wher e| President Wilson was running sur-I prisingly strong. were completely tahulated. Related returns showed Wilson carried California and many other western states, and on the' third day after voting his election Was generally known.
 California Was Key State
 If Hughes had carried California. normally Republican state in those days, he would have won the presidency He did carry such big electoral-yote states as New York. Pennsylvania. Illinois. Massachu- sets and Michigan but Wilson's capture of many western states. plus the Solid South and border states, put him over.

 PIEIRLSGOPE

There's pretty deep seated feeling among some of those who attended the aboriginal rights hearings at Hydaburg, Klawock. Kake and Ketchikan that the res ervations in the areas requested are going to be set up. Impression seems to be that the orders ereat- ing them were written almost be- fore the hearings were announced and that the hearings themselves were largely a camouflage. T 8 feeling. as We get it, appears to arise from the sentiment expressed by Interior Department represen- tatives from the Outside who actu- ally conducted the hearings It may or may not be the right interpre- tation but obviously there was some basis for it in view of the fact that the expressed sentiment is almost unanimous to that effect. There will be an endeavor, potent one. to spike the action. It's more than an even gamble it will be sue cessful.

There has been a revived appeal for statehood in recent years, sup ported by virtually all Alaskans, white, Indian and Eskimo. Every Alaskan knows statehood IS the fundamental answer to the many of the Territory's woes-mainly the one of being an experiment station for every crackpot idea ever ger minated in Washington. It is gen. orally accepted now that if Indian land reservations are set up in Al aska, the chance of the Territory becoming a state within the remote future is nil. Neither industry. people, nor expansion and develop ment can come to a country set aside in large part as a reservation. There is much in the public mind at the present time to prepare Al aska for a vast program of develop ment in the post war period, in preparation for ultimate statehood. Alaska is in the mood to go out and do something on it's own toward meeting its own problems and pre- pairing for the future. All this will go by the board if any special priv ileges are going to be granted to any special groups, white or h. dian, (Which will have the economic effect of stifling Alaska enterprise. That is what the Indian reserYa- tions as proposed would accom- plish; they would in effect grant special privilege to the Indian as against his white neighbor. Neither the Indian nor the white man Tn Alaska want it, but the Indian of- flee does and it is trying hard to sell Interior Secretary Ickes bill of goods. Reports from the hearings indicate it has made considerable headway in that direction.
 Altogether, the Indian hearings remind your Periscoper of the story told by Lewis Connolly of Local 47C in Fairbanks. Connolly tells about the man who just installed a radio and while tuning in got three sta tions on the same wave length. Ont was a minister; the second was man telling the condition of tho roads. while the third was lecture on poultry. This is what he got:
 '-The Old Testament tells us tha baby chicks should detour one mil
 south of Tacoma and listen to tn
 words of the prophet Be care full in the selection of your egg and you will find hard surface
The Wrangell sentinel., 1944-10-06

Most unfortunate reaction arls- ing from the hearings is the reVlF- al of racial prejudice which had in recent years largely been overcome. The modern Indian has come to be accepted at his face value. He does the good and the bad just as hls white brother and is evalued on that premise. He works with the same degree of success in the yarl- ous vacations of the north just as the white man: he wins public ot- flee. public recognition along with his white neighbor Race hatred was rapidly dying out. The hear ings have naturally enough, re- vived it. As one man who attended the hearings put it: Tt has put the Indian back 100 years It was his belief that everything the In dian has done to establish hlmsen as a good American citizen, the equal of any race, will be swept away if the Indian reservations are granted. In other words, it will be Ihe survival of the white man in Alaska. not that of the Indian as the Indian office has cried during the years. Human nature being what it is, the white man will be bitter if he sees the Alaska he has nut toll and money into to make it his home turned over to the In dian. Already the echoes are omi- nous. Already there is the scorn- full crack: How about some reser- vations for the white man. and, Lets ask Ickes for some white aboriginal rights" It all leads to one thing - bad feeling which neither the Indian nor the white man wants.

6,3S0 Awards at Stake
Mr.. Posen in describing the contest
said that all retail stores, which are
included in the eleven classifications,
no matter how small or large, should
enter the contest. He pointed out that
small stores will not be in competition
with large ones, and that each entry
will be Judged only in relationship to
other contestants in its own classih-
cation. For instance, department

Display Men Essential
Mr.. Wrightson said that the Treas
ury officials are fully aware and have
given expression to the fact that the
displays in the Fifth War Loan Drive
played vital part in the success of
the War Loan Drive. "The Sixth War
Loan Display Contest" he said, "has
no equal either in prize awards or
scope in the history of retailing, and it
is distinct challenge to the ingenu-
ity and patriotism of every display
man in America. Their aid, as before,
has been declared essential to the sue
cess of the drive. We in Maryland
want, first of all, to do a good job as
far as Bond selling is concerned. In
the second place we want to see Mary
land display men carry off several of
the national prizes. Therefore l urge
all retail stores, large and small, to
go into this contest with the idea of
winning it in every respect"
Retailers interested in entering the
contest should write for further par
