So Ida answered. signing her name l. NJ. Brown, with no mention of her sex.

THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE
## *
Local Candidates Make Good

Now that the Yote-getting classic has been run. we are rather happy to report that the local boys and girls have made good again.
 Representative Ed Locken of P tersburg has so many votes for re-nomination that they'll probably have to buy a couple of new adding machine tape rolls to compute his total vote. Senator James Nolan of Wrangell. who nobody, including the Senator, thought would carry Kluk- wan precinct, is up there at the top of the ticket. and Senator Doris M. Barnes of Wrangell, this time being honored by her party to be Repub- lican National Committeewoman, ap- parently has virtually all the votes the GOPers decided to cast in that strictly party contest.
 Having watched them come and go for more than a half century, The Sentinel is prepared to say that it about as able a three-some as any area has been able to produce and we trust that come the October general election the voters will use the same excellent judgment that they used with such keen foresight on Tuesday last.
 Democracy Rides Again
 Thus sayeth one of our favorite correspondents the Associated Press bureau in Seattle, in giving us a little highlight on just how the AL aska election is going. Ad libs the AP, includes all populous areas. such as Wrangell," and then in its always absolutely reliable reporting advises that Delegate Bob Bartlett has 9,414 votes and Territorial Aud itor Neil Moore has a paltry 1880 in their race (that isn't right word but we'll make it suffice) for nom ination for Delegate on the Demo- cratic ticket. (Neil, it looks like last Tuesday was the day you, Sid Charles at the Ketchikan News and We shoulda stood in bed.)
 Been giving the matter some weighty consideration and we've come to the conclusion that about the only way to beat Bob Bartlett for Delegate is to relinquish our re- servation on that corner room in the Pioneers Home and offer it as an inducement to Bob toward retire. ment.
 Incomplete returns indicate that Mrs. Barbara Dimock of Anchorage will be the Republican nominee for Delegate. She was running about two to one ahead of Ray Beach, sec retary of the Republican Central Committee, at last report. But she didn't have any nine thousand and better votes which probably inspired that line democracy rides again."
 Labor Commissioner
 Labor Commissioner Henry Ben son was doing all right and was as- sured re-nomination on the Repub- lican ticket over Jack Westfall of Ketchikan. "Kinky'' Lannen of Cor dova, Democrat, will be his opponent in the fall.

For Treasurer

Earle Hunter, Juneau banker, had apparently captured the Republican nomination for Treasurer from Bert Caro and Hugh Wade was leading Bob Coughlin for the Democratic nomination. Nobody, of course, had anywhere near nine thousand votes except Delegate Bartlett.
 Democracy Rides Again
 Democracy obviously was riding again in the First Division Senate contest. Unopposed for the Demo- cratic nomination Senator Jim Nolan amassing a very handsome majority of the votes. Senator Elton Eng strom was well out ahead for the Republican nomination with a con test for second spot on the G o P ticket between Ralph Bartholomew of Ketchikan and Bob Druxman of Juntau.
 For the House
 Out of the maze of candidates for the House the Republicans appear to nave nominated EQ Lochen or ret ersburg, who will probably wind up being high man. Frank Johnson of Rake, Bill Boardman of Ketchikan, Fred Eastaugh of Juneau, Carl Hein- miller of Haines and Joe Mclean of Juneau. Democrats probably now ara Vern Metealfe of Juneau, Burke Riley of Haines, Tom Stewart oi Juneau, Dora Sweeney of Juneau Peter Nielsen of Juneau, Peter Wood of Juneau.
 Hickel Committeeman
 Walter Hickel of Anchorage wal leading Senator Dan Lhamon oi Fairbanks by a comfortable margin for Republican Rational Committee man and probably would be elected Mrs. Barnes was sure of being Re publican National Committeewomar and for the Democrats Ray Hummer of Anchorage and Katherine Nor dale of Juneau were unopposed foi similar offices.
