Everybody loves fighter For that reason the popu- arty of Harry S.

Mr. Truman was apparently the only candidate who really took the opinion polls to heart While the general public being ued to sleep by everybods opinion to the outcome of the election, Candidate Truman got in there and fought.
 The result was that Mr. Truman got voters enough to to his aid-enough to win Nor will this experi- be the death of the posters They probably correct in their reported findings Their sampngs calculated the basis of 90 million eligible vot- But only about AT million ttle than haf) of these eligible voters went to the polls to vote And few of these fighting-for MT.

KEEP THE DEVELOPMENT BOARD
(The Alaska Weekly)

It is of the regrettable things about our demo- cratic system of government that any governmental tivity must inevitably become involved and sometimes befouled with politics. We do not happen to be political ly interested in the personnel of the Alaska Develop ment Board in its management What does interest us is that there be development board and that be adequately financed to do the job which needs to be done and that it be made up of of sound judgment and administered by capable people, board up and absolutely divorced from politics do nestim able good for the Territory during the very important years just ahead.
 The Alaska Development Board has asked for an ap- propraon of $25 000 for each of the next two years it were properly organized and equipped, and this is no reflection its present personnel could find only fault with that request-namely that it is enough money.
 However, this is organization which has some thing of unique record in Territorial for that mat ter, national circles. far as concerns governmental agencies It has not accepted the right to spend given amount of money a mandate to spend 1t. When it could not spend to the advantage of the obectves it trying to accomplish did the next best thing-t kept the money We inclined to think that the type of people who have been and may expect to be appoint ed on that board will continue similar tactics
 We have not always been happy with the activities of the present board It has seemed to at times that the press releases and the public utterances of the ment were far more the expression of the personal opinion of the manager and the chairman than of the board membership and think less latitude should be allowed in that direction
 But we do believe, and we want to make this very emphatic that the Alaska Development Board with the limited funds and personnel at it's command, has done
 very good job and that should not only be continued but continued with opportunities for helping the sibilties open to it.
