The duty of first importance for the people of Alaska is to vote tomorrow. That means that every citizen, man and woman, ought to make himself and herself a committee to urge friends and acquaintances to go to the polls and cast their ballots. In Alaska as elsewhere in the United States the ballot box is the source of government. When all those qualified to vote go to the polls and cast ballots good government is certain to re- sult. The danger in democracies arises when only a few do the voting. If a very large percentage of the voters do not take enough interest in the country to vote, anything is likely to happen. While the people of Alaska have no vote for there is no part of the country where Government is so important to the Federal authority extends to Alaska Presidency, the Federal average citizen. from far more angles than it does to the States. | Most of our govemn}ent comes from Washington. Therefore there are special reasons why all Alaskans of all classes and conditions ought to vote in to- morrow's election. The welfare of the Territory Is in the balance. The people must make plain what they want and they must hang together. We cannot afford to have antagonistic office seeking politicians pulling conflicting strings. Let's make it one big tug of war and everybody pull in the same direction. It will take the strength of all to win. Things have been going against Alaska at Wash- ington. Let Alaskans do their part to get a new deal. They won't do their part unless they all vote. DO FORGET! Don't doubt or forget that Gov. Roosevelt will be elected President of the United States at tomor- row's election. And don't forget that he has declared in emphatic language that he is very friendly to Alaska and that he has said he would be happy to go into a “comprehensive Alaskan program with a Democratic Delegate to Congress.” He has expressed his purpose to go into that program in March, at the very beginning of his Administration. He fol- lowed this declaration with the expression of a hope that “Alaskans will send Anthony J. Dimond” to ‘Washington. Truly this is a once in a life time opportunity for Alaska to make progress. It is a practical guaranty that if Mr. Dimond is elected Delegate to Congress his platform will be enacted into statutes before the end of next year. The voters of this community cannot do a greater work for themselves, for their town and for Alaska than by giving Mr. Dimond an overwhelming majority of their votes. Never before was the issue so simple. Never before did facts and circum- stances point so directly and unerringly to a plain duty. VOTE FOR MR. DIMOND. And uphold his hands by electing a straight Democratic ticket to back him up through and through. UNLESS PLEASED WITH CONDITIONS VOTE DEMOCRATIC. i If the people of the Territory are pleased with things as they are, the voting ought to be against the Democrats. If the people of the Territory wish to participate in the new deal that Gov. Roosevelt, who is certain of election tomorrow, has promised they ought to vote Democratic. | If the voters think the apparently imposible thing should happen and Mr. Hoover will be re- tained in the Presidency by a small majority of the' electoral votes, even then Alaskans ought to vote Democratic if they are not pleased with conditions in order to show their displeasure to those in control | Don’t let any hing prevent you from going to the |polls tomorrow. Every single voter in Juneau ought to cast a ballot. Let Juneau demonstrate her claim to be Alaska’s leading City. If every voter in the City casts a ballot she will do that. The way to vote for home rule for Alaska tomor- {row is to vote the Democratic ticket. | Telegrams from responsible citizens of all sec- tions of Alaska received by The Empire and pub- lished today indicate a certain Democratic victory |in tomorrow’s election in this Territory. Let Gas- Itineau Channel lead the parade for the bigness of her majority for Mr. Dimond and the Democratic ticket. |makes it plain that Gov. Roosevelt will be elected by a landslide majority. Let Alaska capitalize the situation by voting a straight Democratic ticket tomorrow. Every voter, man or woman, younger or old, Demo- crat, Republican or independent, ought to cast his ballot tomorrow. The polls will open at 8 o'clock in the morning and close at 7 o'clock in the evening. No previous registration is required. Vote as you' please, but vote. Forum magazine for November published a symposium of its contributors on the question of for whom they will vote for President and why. Fifty- three writers answered the query. Of them 24 said they would vote for Gov. Roosevelt. Ten were for Thomas, the Socialist, eight for Hoover and eleven for the Communist, for nobody or had failed to make up their minds. Gov. Roosevelt has won all the newspaper and magazins Presidential straw voting, but voting that will choose Presidential electors will occur next Tuesday. Smith in New England. (New York Times.) Among the most loyal of his supporters—the Democrats of New England—Alfred E. Smith dis- played, in two political speeches, those remarkable qualities which explain his place in the community and in the hearts of millions of Americans. He was both eloquent and wise; he was witty and sincere. His courageous attack on the Veterans’ Bureau waste was in scorn of political considerations. He cut through the Republican pretense of sorrowing over his failure to obtain renomination, and was magnanimous as only a person of real greatness of soul can be. Those who have charged him with giving but scant and grudging mention of the Democrtic National candidates can make the ac- cusation no longer after the forthright and earnest manner in which he asked his Massachusetts and Rhode Island friends to give, in his name, full party support. Until Mr. Smith at Newark made it perfectly clear that he understood and rejected the pretended solicitude of the Republicans for him this year, some of his friends feared that he might be be- guiled by the daily flattery, the Republican public grief over the outcome of the Chicago convention as it related to the former Governor of New York. Joseph P. Tumulty in fact issued a warning to Mr. Smith not to be moved by the campaign tears which the Republicans shed upon him. But this was not necessary. Mr. Smith was at no time beguiled. He awaited his time to smite those “who want Al Smith to get votes only when they know he hasn’t a chance to be elected.” Not without justice did he select Senators Borah and Moses as leaders of the personal phase of the campaign against him in 1928. Not again during the period between now and election day will Mr. Smith hear Republican com- pliments, or laments that his party “turned him down.” What he said at Boston and Newark struck at one of their important supply bases. He is no longer their favorite Democratic martyr, but once again an intelligent and effective foe, wholly com- mitted in the name of Franklin D. Roosevelt, as in his own name four years ago, to a change of Administration in this country for reasons which he stated with vigor and sincerity. To his lasting ipersonal credit, Mr. Smith was truly “The Happy ‘Warrior” when he spoke in New England. When he has that bright armor upon him, his strength is as the strength of ten. Hoover has learned that even a peaceful Quaker \can’t get anywhere in politics without fighting like the gent with horns and a tail—(Cincinnati En- quirer. Of every political speech delivered this year it is said, “It was a masterpiece.” But votes instead of masterpieces decide elections—(Atchison, Kan., at Washington. | Globe.) ROOSEVELT WILL BE BOSS. Unable to break through the armour of Gov. Roosevelt the Hoover speakers and papers have turned their guns on an alleged “McAdoo-Garner” combination which they pretend to believe will run the country. But the very circumstance that they have been unable to sell the idea that Gov. Roosevelt is “flabby,” etc., ought to be convincing evidence that he will be head of the new Govern- ment. No combination, “McAdoo-Garner,” or any other will dictate. It is conceded that Gov. Roose- velt has made a great campaign, one that has covered all the issues, and, as the Cincinnati En- quirer has said, comes stronger. A “McAdoo-Garner” does not threaten good government. every time he makes a speech | the issues become clearer and Gov.

Many of us' are without work and without food. And we are looking to Demo- cratic leadership for a ‘new deal’,” he declared. . . . The Primary Law, which failed so dismally as an issue in the pri- mary elections last April, is re- ported to be cropping out in the byways in these final hours of the campaign. Whisperers are stirring abroad attempting to influence vot- | ers with misinformation about the primary system. These “stool pig- eons” of politics, who, like their brethren of the Dry Law Enforce- ment system, work stealthily. To come out in the open would be to fail. There is no Primar? Zaw Issue, and there is no excuse for anyon2 saying there is. And any man or| woman who tries to make any voter believe otherwise, does so knowing that he or she is fostering a false- hood with the intent to deceive. . . . This column had hoped to finish the campaign without again chal- lenging Delegate Wickersham’s ac- curacy or having to expose any more campaign untruths than it has already done. It isn't a pleas- ant task to chronicle these slips, but it is a public duty from which there can be no shirking. And so for what should be the really last time, for after to- morrow the present Delegate ought to lose all interest in future politi- cal campaigns. In his address here on October 28, Delegate 'Wick- ersham sought to convict Senator Dimond of insincerity in his op- position to the present Alaska Game Law. He charged the Democratic Senator with voting in “1913” for a resolution asking for the passage of that law, and declared that a bill, identical in every respect, was attached to the resolution. . . . Here are the facts: In 1923, not 1913 as the Delegate stated, Senator Dimond voted for House Joint Memorial No. 12, which did ask Congress to pass such a game bill But the Memorial contained this provision: “Your memorialists most | earestly pray that the Organic Act| of the Territory be amended so as| to give the Legislature full author- ity to legislate on the subject of game and fur-bearing animals in the Territory and that meanwhile, pending the extension of such fur- ther authority to the Legislature of the Territory, the hereto attached Bill, H.
