 go Years More of Treason
 While the Republicans view with alarm the pohucal carnage of last Tuesday the Democrats can point with pride to a handsome victory and a beautiful comeback from two years ago when their roof cayed in.
 As one of our moose hunting friends with an ear 10 the Me- Carthyisms of the day facetiously famed il prior to the election:
 "Giye me 20 years more of trea- Bon." a84a
 Obviously, moose hunter Jack Brinley rates as the star forecaster of the day. Alaska voters demon strated Tuesday that they want more of the kind of Democratic government that the controversial Republican Senator from Wiscon- sin in a hysterical moment labeled as treason.
 With the exception of a couple of House seats in the always con serVative First Division 1t appears to have been a Democatic sweep fOm Barrow to Dixon Entrance. If Alaska is a barometer of the politi- cal trend as it has often proven, the nation on Nov 2 will elect a Democratic Senate and House.
 They Did It Again
 AS they view the Republican wreckage, the residents of Central Southeast Alaska can survey the scene with a fine feeling of confid- ence and satisfaction. Their two champion yotegetters have done it again. Senator James Nolan of Mrangell has been returned to the Senate and Rep. Ed Locken of Pet ersburg has been reelected to the House. Central Southeast will have it's voice in the councils = Nolan and LOcken and Barnes.
 That moose that tipped us off two weeks ago was in the right slough but apparently was a little confused on his crossings. Neither Jim nor Ed led the ticket as he forecast but they received hand some votes which assures their eI- ection, and after all, it's the win ming touchdown that counts.
 Again the potency of hometown support revealed itself. Rep. Lock en, fighting an uphill battle a. gainst a Democratic landslide, went out of the Wrangell-Petersburg precincts with a walloping 700 and better votes while Senator Nolan amassed a neat tally of around 600 in his local precincts with which to face the field Throughout the Di- vision they received a solid vote of confidence.
 Territorial
 TerritOrial-wide our Periscopter of last week. the undefeatable Dele gate Bob Bartlett, has swept to lop-sided victory over his Republi- can opponent, Barbara Dimock of Anchorage, Bob is following in the footsteps of the late Tony Dimond and may even better that enyiable record.
 For Treasurer Democrat Hugh Wade had outdistanced his Juneau neighbor Earle Hunter and the pride of Cordova, R. J. "Kinhy'' Lannen. is leading Republican Henry Benson for Commissioner of Labor. Old Navy hand Lannen ap- pears to have done what many thought impossible beat Henry Benson who had a habit of getting votes despite everything.
 The Senate
 For the Territorial Senate it ap- pears to have been a complete Dem- ocratic victory. Senator Nolan and ticket-leader Bob Ellis, both Demo- erats, are elected from the First. In the Fourth. former Senator Frank Barr and former Attorney General Ralph Rivers have swamp ed Republicans Dan Lhamon and George Miscovitch. Democrats Neal F'osEer and Senator William Beltz, in incomplete returns, have been elected in the Second and the Third has given neat majorities to Democrats J. Earl Cooper, former Representative Al Owens. J. H. Werner.
 An interesting sidelight on the Senate scene is that Senator Nolan will probably, with the Democratic majority, be the next President of the Senate.
 The House
 I'm the House race in the First
