 Not to be outdone by Gallup, Roper and the rest of the nationaI pollsters - We have taken poll. It was quite scientifically done. We stopped a Democrat on the street and asked him who was go- ing to be elected He replied, ''the whole Democratic ticket" We then found a Republican and asked him the same question. His reply was exactly the same except he said, ''the whole Republican ticket" Then we ran across a "no party" character with our question. Said he: What difference does it make? It looks to me as if Harry Bridges has taken over" After month-old strike and a stalk of air-borne celery selling in Juneau for S5 cents, maybe the ehnp has something. At any rate, that's the result of our poll. We still think it would be a good idea to go out and vote come election day.
