There are a few rdces yet“so close ‘that it'may take the final official tally to decide the issue, but in the majority of cases the returns thus far give the answer. For the Territorial offices, primary made no difference as there was no contest for nom- ination. Delegate Anthony J. Dimond will be the Democratic nominee and Albert White of Juneau the Republican candidate. George Grigsby of Juneau will be running Independent. For Treasurer, Oscar Olson, the incumbent, will be the Democratic candi- date and Will H. Chase of Cordova will be found ea the Republican ticket In the four Divisions the lineup looks like this FIRST DIVISION For the Senate, Howard D. Stabler of Juneau will be the Republican candidate, and will be opposed by Senator Henry Rocen of Juneau, Democrat. who ap- parently has defeated Crystal Snow Jenne the nomination. Democratic House candidates in the general elec- tion will be John McCormick, J. P. Anderson and James V. Davis, all of Juneau, and either A. P. Walker of Craig or Henry Messerschmidt of Juneau the fourth candidate. The latter two are still in a neck and| neck race. Opposing them on the Republican ticket will be Frank Barnes of Wrangell, Frank Price of Sitka, with either Cash Cole, Mrs. Mildred Hermann or k Foster, all of Juneau, holding the other two positions. The last three are in a close race, and two rtain of nomination idents for the House in this Division will McCall of Ketchikan, Jack Westfall of nd Arnold Wasdik of Petersburg SECOND DIVISION George Laiblin apparently the Democratic nomination for the Senate there, defeating Senator John Devine, and opposing him will be Leroy M. Sul- livan, Republican In the House. Democratic race Howard Lyng and Garnett; Martin, hoth former Legislators, are nomin- ated ‘and either E. B, O'Connor, Wallace .Porteror Walter J. Dowd will be the other two nominees on of course, the for has THe Republican ticket in the Second for the| House has but two candidates, W. E. H. Crewer and Sam Taggart. However, there are four Independents | who will be in the House race in that Division— Edward M. Seidenberg, B. J. MacConaghy, Edward | Anderson and Pete Blomquist THIRD DIVISION | J. S. Hofman of Seward, former Speaker of the| House. has won the Democratic nomination for the| Senate and he will be opposed by the Rev. B. J.| Bingle of Palmer, an Independent, For the House in the Third on the Democratic ticket are Edward D. Coffey, who served Imn the last session, Tom Burchett, Karl Drager and Harvey Smith. Opposing them on the Republican ticket will be Moritz Andresen, Hans Elvig, Florence Nafstad and M. D. Snodgrass. Independents who will be run- ning in that Division are C. Chester Carlson of Cor- dova and George Burleigh of Anchorage. FOURTH DIVISION C. H. “Alabam” LeBoyteaux will be the: Democratic candidate for the Senate and will be opposed by L. F. Joy, Republican. Democratic nominees for the House apparently are Leo Rogge, who served in the last session, Frank Gordon, Chester Spencer and Jesse Lander. Opposing them on the Republican ticket will be Martin Knuppe. Fred B. Johnston, L. D. Colbert and either Jesse Bryari or Charles O. Fowler, as the fourth candidates, the latter two now being tied for the nomination. ALASKA l‘\’ THF NATION \l PROGR/ DEFENSE An Army air base near Fairbanks, as much as three years ago, appe: contemplated to be destined for cons ion, with work possibly starting thi fwamer, News dispatches from Washington quote Chairman May of the House Military Affairs com- mittee as ing the base will be built with plan | copies of this newspaper, accommodating from 500 to 1,000 planes, and, if ti money is made available in the “pump priming” pro- gram, the War Department says the project can be gotten underway within 30 da; The projected air base gives an idea of wha the President’s recommended spending proposal can mean to Alaska. Aside from the Fairbanks Army base, the Navy is planning a base at Kodiak anc other defenses along the Alaskan coast. It is reportec that’;aprroximately, one bundred. and twenty. millior will besasked for defenses on the west coast, including Alaska,’which means, in the face of the announcec plans for Territorial defenses, that a large part of it will be spent in the north. Of course, the entire program is contingent to some extent on what Congress finally does with the President’s recommendation for appropriations run- ning into billions in an effort to revive busines: activity. Moncy for the Fairbanks base, according THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, SATURDAY, APRIL 30, to present indications, would come from the “pump| priming” funds. However, sizeable appropriations, probably the largest peace-time appropriations on record, are expected to be made for the Navy as well s the Army. and doubtless if that money is granted to those two departments a great deal of military and naval activity will be seen in the north. The Navy s| plans are fairly definite toward that end at t time. Ultimately, unless all signs fail, Alaska will figure in the national defense picture something like this: It will be on the northern end of a Navy defense | line from the Aleutians .south | to Hawaii | and Samoa. Naval bases will dot the Alaskan coast running rea. Backing up these naval outposts will be army bases and doubiless an additional number of troops in the north. For service to the Army bases, the International Highway figures prominently, Wiih that road’s construction between the States and motorized troop movements Alaska will be possible. True, it probably will take a good many years to omplete the entire picture, but in the meantime Alaska will be becoming more and more a strategic point in the national defense program, as the nounced plans for Army and Navy bases foretell an- Let '"Em Eat Mud (Philadelphia Record) The wolf pack tasted blood. Defeat of the Reorganization Bill has touched off a new Republicai Smear Roosevelt” campaign, which is signalized by the return to the political battlefront of the Republi- can National Committee National Chairman John Hamilton starts the bali| rolling by announcing the appointment of Franklyn Waltman, one of the slicker anti-Roosevelt snipers among the Washington news corps, as “publicity director.” The Republican press announces Mr. Waltman's duties with scarcely an attempt to conceal their nature. It will be his task to smear Roosevelt with any mud he may be able to find. Hereafter it can be predicted with certainty that if the administration recommends an appropriation for lead pencils the measure will be greeted with cries of “Fascism,” “Jacobinism” and “Antidisestab- lishmentarianism.” What the particular “ism” is won't matter lo as it has nothing whatever to do with the legi: lation under consideration and has a vaguely un- pleasant sound. The underlying idea of the G.O.P. strategy is to yell so loud that the public will forget Mr. is trying to do something about the economic situation of the country. Since the reactionaries began to block the New Deal the nation is slipping back to where it was when Mr. Hoover finished with it. | For all the Republican National Committee cares it can keep right on slipping. In fact, the faster it slips the better Messrs. Hamilton, Waltman, and friends will like it Every million more unemployed will be so much more ammunition in the campaign to turn the White House into a mud hut. That this is the state of mind of the men who are running and financing the new Roosevelt hate orgy is amply indicated by the striking absence of any ructive program on the Republican side v will oppose every Administration measure without putting forward any tangible suggestions about what should be done about the crisis which | has been brought upon the nation by their clamor | against Government spending for recov 3 Their propaganda shut off recovery funds and threw millions out of work. Now they plan to feed the unemployed with mud, revive business with invective against the President in place of customers, and solve the farm problem by circulating the report that the most democratic Presi- dent since Lincoln is a dictator at heart Watch the new “Smear Roosevelt” campaign.

April Heresies (New York Times) It was not on a warm, sunny day in April, with the crocuses blooming and the grass greening and the willows looking like a scene from an old teac! that Poor Richard, Samuel Smiles and Oliver Op! conceived their useful pattern for human conduct. Ah, no—that was done on a rainy day in March or in the dreary last week of November.
