THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE

With the special session of the Legislature tentative set to convene March and the special election required in the Third Division 10 fill vacancies caused by the deaths of Senator H H. McCutcheon and Representative Joseph Diamond. set for January 29, the political pot is beginning to boil a little earlier than would be normally expected for the Territorial elections next year.
 This may be due to a number of reasons but one of the most potent, doubtless, is the fact that filing for Territorial offices and seats in the legislature must be made by February l and then in March comes the special session to be fol- lowed by the primary election the fourth Tuesday in April. If the special session lasts through March as it probably will. the members who also are candidates for re- election will lose a month of cam raigning during March. all but the First Division members being out of their Division in Juneau.
 There's been considerable demand to have the special session moved Up but this proved impossible due to the vacancies It's mandatory for a special election to be held 10 fill vacancies where such vacancies occur more than 40 days before converting of the Legislature. The Third is a far-flung Division. re- quiring. especially in winter, a long time to get election supplies to the various precincts. Returns can be received by radio, but it's imposs- ible to send supplies out by the same method. with the result the epecial election in the Third was called for January 29. Thirty days is required for returns and canvas sing. thus March is the earliest the special can convene
 
 Report is that Corporal Steve McCutcheon is going to make a hid for his late fathers seat in the i Senate from the Third. While there are no officials filing for the spec | fal election. word from the Third | says young Steve will try to get the seat for the special session as well as for the regular term 9th CT candidates being mentioned for the two vacancies in the Third are former Representative Harvey | Smith of Anchorage and William Egan of Valdez Egan like Me Cutcheon is a World War II man: Smith is a veteran of the first World War.
 Interesting figures on approxi-l mate cost of the special session have been compiled by Auditor Frank A. Boyle at the requests of various legislatures. His figures es- innate a 15-day session at s33,S8 and a 30-day session at S50,652 GA. These figures include salaries Of members, mileage, general expense, including help, stationery, printing, etc. based on comparative costs of other years. Expenses of the spec ial session must be paid by the Territory.
 
 The Second Division politicos are up in the air over the proposed bill to stream-line the Organic Act now being studied by Dele gate Bartlett and members of the House Committee on Territories as a possible step toward statehood A long breif has gone forward to the Delegate from lawmakers and others in the Second, protesting the changing of the present Second Division lines. The proposed bill would eliminate all Division lines and establish legislative districts on basis of population.
