 On perusing this magnificent family journal this week the read CT will doubtless note that a good ly number of candidates are offer ing their services to the taxpayers of Alaska at the going rate of pay. Tuesday the voters have to go through the list and pick out the ones they consider best qualified to compete for the permanent jobs come the general election of next October. So as the hiring boss, Nr. Voter. don't forget to get to your precinct polling place on Tuesday and mark d ballot
 As one of che voters, We have been eogitating a little on the pro blems ourselves and we've come up with some more or less obvious de- auctions. For instance, in the Dele gates race it's sort of a water haul" Both candidates, one on each ticket .are sure of nomination. Saml is true for Attorney General. Jerry Williams already is permanent employee without opposition. In eidentally. a nice compliment to J.. Gerald. and, We might add, de serving.
 Get More With Moore
 In the Auditors race where there are four names on the ballot, we've concluded Neil Moore the present Auditor of the Territory, is the best selection. He was in the office Il years under the late Frank Boyle and knows the work. Since Mr. Boyle's death he has carried on in the same straight forward. efficient, honest manner that his predecessor did. Undoubt- edly, a qualified man.
 Bob Sheldon, one of his oppon- ents, has been making some noise against Moore, but when Sheldon was in town last week he was not only campaigning against Neil but also against Jerry Williams, the Attorney General who is unoppos ed, and Joe Kehoe, Secretary of Al aska, who isn't a candidate for anything, to our knowledge What these two fellow Democrats of Bobs did to him we didn't learn but We draw from his remarks that they had crossed his trapline some where. It's our considered opinion that Sheldon's harangue against Moore is based on about the same sort of thing. Neil possibly turned back a voucher some time on the Employment Security Commission when Sheldon was heading that department. prior to his retirement with 163-odd dollars a month pay last year for age.
 For Highway Engineer, it's an- other water haul" Two candidates -one on each ticket, with both as sured nomination.
 Barnes and Jensen
 In the Senate race where you pick two out of six, we come up with Doris Barnes and Mark Jen- sen of Douglas.
 Both have served in the House; made good records, and are quali fled, logical Alaskans to serve in the Senate. Mrs. Barnes, as every one around here knows, is one of the most civic-minded persons in the community She takes the same approach in the Legislature in which she has served three terms, including the special session. The same can be said for Mark Jensen in the Douglas-Juneau area - a high-minded. reputable citizen and, as his past record shows, a con- scientious legislator.
 House All-American
 With six to vote for out of 26 on the House side of the ballot, it's quite a field to draw from but there are some above-average can- didates. As one of the nearly 1000 hiring bosses, or voters. in the First Division, we choose these as among the best qualified for the positions they seek:
 Ed Locken of Petersburg, Mayor of Petersburg and at present a member of the House, who has a keen. intelligent knowledge of Ter ritorial and municipal affairs.
 Waino Hendrickson, Mayor of Juneau, likewise a member of the House, and duplicate of everything we said about Ed.
 William "Bill'' Boardman of Ket- chikan, manager of that towns Chamber of Commerce.
 Frank Johnson of Rake, present member of the House and an hon. est. sincere representative of the native people.
