Demo Candidates Get 1919 Of Votes
For House, 81 % for Senate, $500
For Delegate, Contrasting With 1852

But the Third Division (An-
chorage) Division has been the
chameleon of the two-year cycle.
That division had a 81 percent
vote for Democratic candidates
for the House in the 1852 primary,
then swung about by general cleo
ton time and elected nine Repub-
licans and one Democrat to the
House. Then in last weeks pri-
mary the pendulum swung again
and So percent Of the vote for
House candidates went to Demo
Gratis, who outnumbered the Re
publicans in the running.
It's such changes as those that
make it difficult to draw any hard
and fast line from primary cleo
ton to October.
1t led the top getters in
each party in the Third Division
House races to give sharply diff
fering estimates.
I'm not as pessimistic as some
Democrats think | should be-"
commented Rep. Dorothy Prior Of
Anchorage. II don't think there
will be a tremendous Democratic
victory in the fall" She expressed
the belief that developments on
the national level and the appeal
Of individual candidates, especial
ly to the Large non-partisan vote"
in the Anchorage area, will be
major factors.
Ray Plummer, Democratic ma
tional committeeman who polled
more votes than any other House
candidate ever received in Alaska,
expressed the differing opinion:
eve are confident that the strong
trend indicated last Tuesday will
carry over into the general cleo
ton and that the voters will re-
turn the Democratic Party to
power in Alaska in 1854"

ARBOR DAY IN NOME

By proclamation, Governor Heintzleman has set
aside May 18th as Arbor Day for Alaska.
The observance of Arbor Day started in Nebraska
in 1872 for the purpose Of planting and cultivang
trees and the idea spread all the States
Our governor stated in his proclamation that
"Arbor Day has a far-reaching effect in developing
good citizenship and that the Arbor Day tree is a
SYMBOL standing for civic pride and community spirit,
for appreciation Of good living and for faith in the
futurehe future when the tree itself will grow up
and reach its greatest value"
This may sound like it doesn't apply to northern
Alaska-but it does It has been the goal of of
the members Of this community to plant trees along
the side of the road through the cemetery as the
ground is thawed there and small trees planted by
individuals have flourished through the years
If some organizations could arrange cooperation
through Of arlines to bring couple of small
spruce from Council or White Mountain, Nome could
proudly participate in this worthy observance Of Arbor
Dav.

WASHINGTON, R-President

Eisenhower used six pens to
sign the bill. He finished signing
his name with the sixth and said
with a grin:
"By golly, that's about all the
pens 1 can use unless l use one for

Alaska Legislative Correspondent

The swing of Alaska's voters
into the Democratic primaries last
week saw more than 70 percent
of the total votes 60 to the Demo-
cratic candidates for the Territor-
ial House Of Representatives.
Democrats polled about 81 per
cent of the total tabulated vote in
the four divisions for candidates
for the Territorial Senate
At the same time, the Demo
cratic candidates for delegate to
Congress polled SO percent Of the
vote, compared with "a percent in
the 1852 primary However, it is
acknowledged generally that some
Of the comparatively small vote
for Neil Moore in the Democratic
congressional race was actually
an anti-Bartlett vote instead Of an
indication of the voter swinging to
the Democratic side on his ballot.
The one-sided percentages stood
out boldly Thursday as an cleo
ton figures survey went to work
on an assessment Of the returns in
comparison with the 1852 primary
The figures compare with "a
percent for Democratic Senate
candidates in the 1852 primary
and barely over so percent for
Democratic candidates for the
House.
There may be some solace in
those figures for Republicans who
say their party's hopes for the
legislature will rise or fall On an
aggressive and effective campaign
before the October general cleo
ton. 1t worked for them in 1852
but the primary election odds did
Mt run nearly so heavily against
them then.
While the Republicans polled
only As percent Of the votes for
Senate candidates in the 1852 pri-
mary, they ended up by getting
six Republicans elected to the
Senate to the Democrats three.
And after getting a shade less
than so percent of the totai vote
for House candidates in the pri-
mary, they sent 20 members to
the Territorial House while only
four Democrats were elected
The sharpest reversal in pri-
mary results between 1852 and
1854 occurred in the Fourth Fair-
banks Division Senate nominal
tions. The Republicans polled 68
percent of the votes for Senate
candidates in the 1852 primary
and the Democrats polled about
81 percent this time.
