Too many overlook the point that the primary is the instrumen ernment t is a substitute for the old em, aimed at giving every member of al party a voice in selecting party car If the party members do that is not the fault of th since of party g convention s a major politi didates. It does just that not take advantage of it primary law. It is not a general election, adverse criticism would call to party colors. Just tem heraided the Democrats or the case might be, on a certain day for the purpose of nomi dates to represent the party in the gener the primary calls the party voters to the polls in lar manner, and every party member is assured a voice something he was not always assured in the old con- vention days. It is not the primary election law’s fault if the voters do not take advantage. It must be remembered that there are a great many voters in Alaska as well as in every state in the Union who do not care to he affiliated with any political party; they do their voi- ing without regard to party lines, and they have the privilege to do it at the general election. The primary is not for them, and as a matter of fact there is little criticium cf the primary by those in that large class of independent voters who are conversant with They know it as party instrument it is, and there- fore they take no particular interest in it, any more than the general interest they might, take in a Repub- lican or Democratic party convention. Most of the fault-finding with the primary comes from within the ranks of Democratic and Republican party mem- bers, who declare it doesn’t bring out the vote. Bt records will show that the primary brings out a mucn larger representation than would any convention and it gives opportunity for any member of those parties to seek public office and to declare themselves on party choices. That and that alene is the purpose of the party primary law. If it doesn't bring out the vote, is it not barely possible that the fault lies with the party in not making its platform sufficiently alluring to the voter, rather than the fault of the law? Admittedly, the primary is not perfection, but so . long as the unsavory odors of the old convention days linger in the nostrils of party voters it probably will remain as the best instrument of party representative government. to which much of th apply.

One group coming from southern California told Police Chief Dan Ralston that they were informed by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce that all one needed was $50 to get to Alaska and work could be found immediately on arrival at big wages, It is difficult to believe that the Los Chamber representatives not better informed on Alaska, and we are inclined to believe that they are It is possible in their eagerness to find work, the job hunters may have misinterpreted the information em- anating from that (1' it is true that Angeles are However, from a Southern mber. 1 letter was received here recently California resident in which he cited a report in one f the Los Angeles papers that a big road building project was underway in Alaska and men were beins sought There thought advanced by over-run h job hunter on with citation of the old idea and one But north in search of work tory of Alaska is which would seem to call for sive battle toward spreading coming to Alask: little truth in Southern California, may be more than a the ome that is attempting to move them lure of other places.
