| ton and a lot of explaining will be
 done as to why it's necessary to put
 on relief projects this winter in various Alaska towns with money
 taken from one city and given to another and not spent in the city lit was collected. Why, because it
 the policy to get the votes from
 the smaller communities in Alaska
 Every employee that holds a Demo-
 cratic position after IS years still
 wants to remain at the trough None want to give way, you will see
 same old faces on the Democratic
 ticket, even their picture on the
 placards will be the same and the
 same old worn-torn issues will be
 put out in front.
 But you will see very few vet
 erans of World War of World War II on the Democratic ticket. They had very little if any room for them
 because the Democratic ticket is filled with PERMANENT OFFICE HOLDERS.
 The Republican ticket presents as | it's candidate for Delegate to Con- gress R. H. STOCK, contractor, who has lived in Ketchikan, Douglas and Juneau. MT. Stock has been the National Committeeman for the
 American Legion for Alaska for years and now lives at Anchorage MIR. IRA FARNSWORTH, candi- date for Highway Engineer on the Republican ticket. For years a resi- dent of Alaska and Fairbanks he IS also a World War II veteran. Tn the Third District, Anchorage, J. c. Morris is a candidate for the Senate, and was former Com mander of the American Legion for Alaska. In this district we have J. s. MacKINNON, of Juneau, can didate for Representative to the Alaska Legislature. We all know him down this way in his many capacities through his service in the U. S. Navy, is World War and World War II veteran. WILL LIAM E. FEERO, Jr., born in Doug las. Alaska, is World War II vet eran. He was wounded in Italy and wears the great honor medal, THE PURPLE HEART. He is a resident of Skagway, Alaska, William Winn and Jack Fargiier, both of Juneau. We have many other candidates no doubt, also flied, that either are veterans or related by blood to vet erans or members of the Ladies Auxiliary.
 We are PROUD to have these veterans file on our ticket We will be proud to see them elected. We are more than PROUD that we have a party they can turn to for we waved when they went away and we waved when they returned. Let's not stop at that. Let's wave when they are returned with the honor they seek by standing by them as they stood by us.
 The Republican ticket is geo. graphically the better. We give rep resentation to both women and men, both young and mature peo- ple, and veterans and longtime Alaska and to Juneau, Ketchikan, Wrangell, Petersburg, Douglas, Sit ka, xake, and Skagway.
 The Democratic Party in Alaska is in vain trying to blame someone other than themselves for ths fact that after Is years the Territory is unable to furnish suitable pensions, medical care and education for our people and not stated as yet as to why the Maritime Commission, Democratic appointed board, has al lowed our freight rates to be raised to such a proportion that the cost of living has skyrocketed in Alaska along with the other economic poll cies ey have brought on to Work side by side with these raise ln rates which result in the high prices within the Territory-the highest in the United States.
 It's time the voters gave some thought to the fact that under the past Republican administration, the Territory was solvent, we did not have a tax upon the fishermen tol the gasoline they purchased which is now burden upon them and all of us. We did not have a sales tax We did not have the Republican Party introducing bill to allow prope3y tax We did not have bill to raise the city taxes from 2 to 3 per cent and we did not have our freight rates raised two or three times.
 Our candidates have basket full of issues, that is why the Repubh- can ticket in the Territory is over flowing with desire of good, com petent women and men seeing the plight of Alaska today wish to serve their mite to remedy anc put stop to the Wind Of the Locusts that is eating our heritage away and with ABRAHAM LIN COINS Party calling them ever in Alaska, for after all, the Re plblican Party in Alaska is Jht
