e e R 4 THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSDAY, ‘APRIL 23, 1936. A check disclosed that 14 million messages had been sent and received in Washington during the 10 months, whereup two weeks later Mr. Shouse said in another radio broadcast: ‘“More than 22000 telegrams sent from or received ‘t the Washington office between Feb. 1 and Dec. 1, 1835, were copied and turned over to the Black Committee.” A correction to the extent of 13.978,000. “Now what is the truth?” Daily Alaska Emplre ROBERT W.

Its pur- { pose is to discredit President Roosevelt and prevent his re-election. It distributed upward of 112 pamphlets in the last 18 months, every one of which contained ALASKTAN:N‘rf;ALrflcleNANGvbgzuz:vEi%a[?cffmr‘i‘fia“ criticism of the President and his administration. &) The sworn statement shows that during 1935 the League received as financial aid the $um of $483000, 6f which $270,000 came from the duPont family or their busi- ness or personal-associates or affiliates. “What is the business (f the duPonts?

As pointed out in yesterday’s Empire, the important thing is to select candidates in the respective parties at Tuesday's primary who will have the capacity to consider in a broad light problems of this nature. It is something to consider seriously when going to the polls. The future of Alaska is at stake.
