Tomorrow voters in both parties have the opportunity of cleaning up their respective slates so they will be spic and ‘span for the general election in September. A glance at the list of candidates shows a real purge is in order. How some of the men filed could 'have the brazen effrontery to aspire to responsible office is difffcult to understand, If this were a populous State the danger would be less. But it takes fewer than a thousand votes— 800 some say—to nominate a man for the Legis- lature when there are 30 filed ip the First Division. And when there are so many irresponsible and in- capable persons willing to come forward and ask to be nominated there must be many hundreds of the same species still at large and willing to vote for them. The contests for the major offices need not worry us too greatly. Needing votes throughout the Territory, the poorer candidates tend to be cancelled out automatically. The outright menace to Alaska lies in the Legislative free-for-all. Choose your Sen- ate and House nominees as you would directors of any other many-million-dollar enterprise in whichi you were a stockholder. Don't vote for a man you never heard of just because you like the sound of his name. That is the only way some of the candi- dates could be nominated. The people who know them know better than to vote for them. The Democratic voter will find 18 names of House aspirants on his long ballot. About half of these have the qualifications of Legislators. But you can only vote for four, Study the list of candidates before you go into| the voting booth. Select your men coolly and criti- cally and either mark their names down on a piece of paper or commit them to memory. If you wait until voting time to look over the field and make a choice, it is very likely you will be confused and will make mistakes you may regret. In general, it can be said that the man in office who has proved his worth as an administrator or legislator is a better man to vote for than an un- known. In the PFirst Division, for instance, the voter cannot go wrong in casting his ballot for Norman | R. Walker of Ketchikan for Senaior. THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, MONDAY, APRIL 29, 1940. With all due ‘respec( to his opponents, the truth is that “Doc” [walker is one of the most capable legislators Alaska ever sent to the Capitol. | Senate last year. His guiding hand and considered | judgment in the Senate Chamber are assets Alaska should retain. We need him back in the Legislature in 1941. Frank Boyle, the Territory's competent Audi- tor, is another who richly deserves reelection. For | Alaska’s sake he should be retained in office. There are others who could be mentioned, but these .two outstanding. The important thing tomorrow is to get out a representative vote. With so many filed, the vote . should be fairly heavy for a primary. Every candi- (date will have his friends, if he has any, calling at the polls “early and often,” as the saying goes. The other class of voters, the great electorate whose only | interest in the election is in seeing that the best candidates are nominated, must be on the job too. Don't let tomorrow slip by without voting. If you lét things go in the expectation that you can set .everything right at the general election in the fall, you will be making a sad mistake. When fall comes there may be no one on the ballot you will| feel like voting for. Vote tomorrow. The polls will be open 8 o'clock in the morning until 7 at night are from | WHOLE NUTS Mechanization of agriculture and the processes| it involves goes right ahead. A recent invention,| produced by the University of California Agricultural College, is the "internal combustion nuteracker.” 1t saws a tiny slit in each nut, squirts a little gas into it, explodes the gas and the shell flies apart, Jeav- ing the meats unbroken. We wouldn't believe it either if the Associated Press hadn't said so. Yarn of the Week' 1 i | (Philadelphia Record) For yarn of the week we nominate the one about Yoshihide Furushima, who waited 33 years| for a telephone. It seems that when Furushima was 22, just out of college, he became interested in the telephone, | concluded it was “here to stay” (that was '07) and deposited 15 yen (about $4.20) with the ‘Communi- cations Ministry along with an application for in- stallation of a telephone. Furushima, a .patient man, waited. He became a lawyer, prospered even though, ‘lacking .2 phone, he had to use messenger boys. As the years passed, Furushima became prominent, finally was eiected .to the Diet | | A few days ago his patience reached its limit. | Rising in the Diet, he told of his 33-year wait for a | telephone, denounced the Communications Ministry, | declared 100,000 phone applications have not been acted on. Said Furushima: “If this were a private company I would have sued on a swindle and embezzlement charge. If my 15 yen had been placed in the bank in 1907 I should |now be a rich man on the accrued interest. If I (have to wait any longer for this elusive .telephone I might as well mention it in my will, in the hope | that future generations of Furushimas will henefit from it.” We don’t know what Job would have done in.an age of telephones. But we doubt he would have waited 33 years to make a phone call. Next time you start to swear over a wrong num- ber—think of Furushima. Our Newest Stamp (New York Times) From now on the face of a second Washington appears on our stamps. It is an honored face, for Booker Washington was as surely the leader of -his race as the first Washington was of his natjon. Booker Washington was really born without a last name. He was brought up in slavery. Yet 50/ years later, with no bitter memories, he could write, “No man, black or white, from North or South, shall drag me down so low as to make me hate him.” Love of his fellows, genuine concern for their ad- vancement, will carry a real man a long way in America in spite of all prejudices and restrictions. The career of Booker Washington proves that. He earned a place on our stamps in labor and in .pain. In putting him there we also honor the ever- broadening American tradition that brought him up from slavery and left him the friend of Presidents and the iddol of his people. the Want Ads MEAN TO JUNEAU . .

It is a lucky date for signing contracts and for launching new projects. Whatever is progressive and constructive is well diregted under this configura- tion which predicts for the United States marvelous experiences in at- taining world supremacy. Heart and Home: Women should be fortunate in all their aims while this planetary government prevails This is a fortunate date for girls to seek employment and most promising to heads of households The evening presages for the young or social contacts may have spec- |1al significance. Business Affars: This is a day which to promote jmportant transactions in all lines of trade and commerce. The stars indicate for the United States a period of great expansion and increased im- | portance in the world of business. The seers warn that with growth of ,pawer ;there will be intensifica- tion jn international dangers National Issues: American di- plomacy is to be put to the test next month when peace overtures | will bring about unexpected results treachery The stars foretell and | | misinformation on the part of both Hitler and Stalin who will direct subversive activities. International Affairs: France, under the influence of the recent conjunction of Saturn and Mars, will be determined to end forever all peril of future conflicts with Germany. Peace negotiations in which the United States is inter- ested will be of value in assuring better understanding and closer sympathy with the aims of the \nation. | Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of ad- vancement in social and financial ambitions. Changes should be avoid- ed. The young will be interested | in romance. ' Children born on this day probe- bly will be unusually bright and talented. Many of these subjects of Taurus excel in art or music. (Copyright, 1940) Statement of Candidacy by Allen Shattuck Next Tuesday is primary election day—the day set aside for each and every voter who desires to do 50 to have his say as to whom he wants to run for the various Ter-| ritorial offices. ‘This election is really more im- portant than the regular election in September. If you select good candidates in the primaries, we will have good officers, while if| incompetent candidates are select- ed you can't do anything about it in September. So bring your friends along and vote. Government shouldn't be left to run itself, You have the power to direct it in .the way you think it should go. The primary election is your first opportunity to show what you want. ‘We have the best type of govern- ment to be found anywhere. We have run it successfully for 150 years. A part of the reason for that success is to be found in our political system of two major parties forever competing for the fayor of the people, in the attempt of each to surpass the other in giving the best government pos- sible. Its continued success depends upon wise selection by the people of the persons who will represent them in our law-making bodies. In Alaska we have no yeice .in shaping national policies -but we carry on the two-party system and 80 we have a platform which rep- resents qur jdea of what should be done to improve government in Alaska. ered in any party platform on which our legislature has the power ithis end in view.
