ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER Republican nomination for the same office, chayges jthat there was an attempt made to dictate to him as to appointments in his office personnel. In brief, he accused Willlam Paul and W. A. Steel, the former a House candidate and the latter candidate | for the G. O. P. Senatorial nomination, with de-| manding that Steel be appointed by Mr. Breuer as his | private Secretary. Mr. Breuer, if reports current|E.

It is an- return here early Thursday morn-, EVERY CITIZEN SHOULD VOTE. Every citizen, who possesses the necessary quali- fications, shculd go to the polls tomorrow and vote in the Territorial prim elections. Whether they be Democrats or Republicans, there is the same need to register their wills for the candidates who will represent the fwo parties in the general clection next November. Indifference to the primaries has in the past been all too common in Alaska. This attitude was prob- ably the result of two factors—one a lack of com- prehension by the average voter of the nature of primary election and its real importance, and the other a disposition on the part of many voters to distrust the primary as a method of selecting party candidates. Though staged under laws of the Territory and the costs of holding them defrayed by it, the pri- maries are strictly party affairs. A voter cannot participate in both the Democratic or Republican primary. He must choose one of the two. It is in this manner that the parties make their selections for candidates to run in the general elections therefore, the rank and file of the two party organizations desire to have anything to say about who will represent them in the general elections, the only way to satisfy that desire is to vote in the party primary. For one to say that the can- didates offered at the polls are not satisfactory to him, is but to dodge a responsibility. Whether he votes or not, some of them are certainly going to represent him and his party in the final test at the polls. Therefore, it is encumbent on every yoter to register his choice of the candidates that are offered. This year's primaries are the most important in the history of the Territory. The main reason for the added importance is the fact that for the first time, candidates are in the field for every major Territorial office, except that of Attorney General. There are three posts, heretofore appointive, and one entirely new office now elective, making four | The appointive | ioner of Educa- | ! new offices for the electorate to fill. offices, now elective, are: Commis tion, Highway Engineer and Treasurer, while the new office is that of Auditor. In the Republican primary contests are numerous, and there are iwo complete tickets for the Territorial offices, and almost two for Divisional offices. In the Democratic primary, there are but two contested places. One for Highway Engineer, and there are five candidates for the four House nom- inations. With these conditions prevailing, Juneau and the surrounding territory should cast the largest primary election vote ever recorded in their history. PATRONAGE IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM.| In a signed statement given The Empire Saturday and appearing in the issue of that day, L. W. Breuer, Commissioner of Education, and candidate for the I, | should be free from partisan political pressure and by him appeared in a Petersburg paper making the me charge but in less definite terms. At that |time he merely said it had been demanded that he ‘:I])polnl “one of their leaders” in his office without specifying any definite person. It cannot, there- fore, be charged against Him that he is making eleventh hour accusations which ‘the accused have no chance to answer or explain. Since that time, Judge Wickersham has spoken in Juneau without referring to it in any way, although he did urge| |the election of Paul, Steel and sthers on the slate | Patronage is, of course, one of the chief adjuncts| |of politics. That the school system of Alaska would become involved in |able when the office was made elective. This danger | |has been pointed out emphatically on numerous cc- | ‘(:umon.s by many leading Alaskans and frequently |voiced by The Empire. So far, no damage has been |done from that source, but if the clective method is retained, the day is not far distant when not,| only the Commissioner’s office but the school |throughout the Territory will be honeycombed with | |appointments made solely on the basis of *‘“”"“ or political favors and promises of more (o come ( If Messrs. Steel and Paul, or anyone else in the | combination, sought to use whatever strength a of them posseses in the way of voting power, block Indian vote or any other factional elem.nut to force Commissioner Breuer to appoint anyonc in| his office, it was reprehensible. And it doesn’t make | any difference if it was Senator Steel or the most| humble of their workers. And Commissioner Breuer | has done his duty as a citizen no less than as hvnd“ {of the Territory’s Department of Education by mak- | iing public the deal. There is only one regret nbouc\ the whole matter, and that is that he did not| publish the facts alleged at the time of their occur- rence. He | declares that he holds the school system influence. In this he is joined by Supt. W. K. Keller of the Juneau Public Schools who is his opponent {fer the Republican nomination. Voters in that pri- mary may then base their choice on the real merit of the two candidates, their record for achieve- ments, their experience as educators and admin- :isu'stors and their technical qualifications. Every |respective party Democrat and iepuvzean owes it to his to go to the polls tomorrow and mark a ballot for the candidate he wants to rep- {resent his party in the general election next { November. The citizen who goes to the polls and casts his vote in the primary election tomorrow proves his interest in the party with which he affiliates and his desire to participate in the government of the Territory. | The several candidates will tell you for whom to vote. The Empire only urges you to vote in' | Tuesday’s primaries. i Juneau, the most populous town in Alaska, should |see to it tomorrow that no other town in the Ter-| patronage schemes was inevit- — ng.

CLEARLY VISIBLE IN JUNEAU TODAY ‘With heavy clouds obscuring the sun during most of the eclipse this morning, B. D. Stewart, with the aid of a transit, was one of the, few in this district who was able to see a shadow on the sun. About 11:15 o'clock the clonds thinned out for a few minutes and Mr. Stewart was able to see a shadow across the eastern corner | of the orb. This lasted but a short time, as the eclipse was practically over by that hour. FOUR BOATS OF U. S. B. F.

FIRST 1930 TROUT HAULED IN SUNDAY The first game trout of the sea- son, eight in number, were hauled cut of waters adjacent to Juneau, Sunday on two separate fishing parties which took to the woods in successful efforts to be the first| to break the spring ice.

Four mountain trout were taken |from the waters of the upper Sheep Creek Basin by Bert Caro and Curtis Shattuck, who hooked two ten-inch fish apiece. |SHERMAN FUNERAL HELD YESTERDAY “Shorty” beach 8.
