NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Pourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. P . U P T THE PEOPLE SHOULD CONTROL We like the remark made the other Juneau's' new mayor-—A. B. “Cot” Hayes—when he referred to the vote on the milk proposition. The unusually large vote, the overwhelming defeat of the proposition, he pointed out, indicated that the people are determined to govern themselves Another thing that we liked about our recent city election: Harry Lueas, retiring mayor, a man who has held the post for six years and has done a good job, viewed the election of the new officers with*an air of impartiality. A long time in office, Lucas had the support of a great many people of Juneau, and any day by views he might have expressed would have carried much weight, regardiess. However, Lucas acted in the traditional American way. people. Now that the city election is over, Juneauites should be thinking seriously about the coming Terri- torial primary election. This pot has been boiling for some time now, and giving off some very bad odors at times. There seems to be a unified movement afoot to attempt to direct the people of Alaska toward supporting one certain candidate—something which we don't like at all and will do our utmost to point out strongly. This is one reason we are opposing E. L. Bartlett, but by no means the only reason. We hope that we will not have to bring out all of the facts which have He left it up to the | power lead and we follow like a bunch of sheep—or determined our decision However, that may be 1. E. L. Bartlett is named by retiring Delegate Anthony J. Dimond as the man to succeed him. 2. E. L. Bartlett is supported by the Governor of Alaska. 3. E. L. Bartlett has a Roosevelt, also supporting him. So far, to the best of our knowledge, he hasn’t been cndovsed by Prime Minister Winston Churchill, or Premier Joe Stalin. letter from President Is it the recognized privilege of the retiring delegate to attempt to force any of several candidates for his job upon the people of Alaske by endorsing this candidate in practically the same breath in which he announces he, himself, will not run again? Is this a fair use of power gained through many years in office? 1Is it the American way of choosing our rep- resentatives? Our opinion is that it is not. Harry Lucas recognizes the American way much better than our retiring delegate and new judge. Similarly, is it good choice for the Governor of Alaska, an appointed Federal representative of the Department of the Interior and doubly the highest executive in Alaska, to discard impartiality and take | an active part in Alaska's campaign--behind one candidate? The Hatch Act, one of the poorly enforced laws of this great country is designed to prevent just such things. Unfortunately there are loopholes through which one can crawl. And likewise, what business is it of the P‘:esidenti of the United States to tell us who we should elect to | Congress? As far as we know F. D. R, has not looked into the qualifications of the other candidates. The President is not a resident of Alaska, and to us, an endorsement of Bartlett by Churchill or Stalin would | be just as appropriate as the one by President Roosevelt. 3 l The people of Alaska, as well as the people oII the rest of the United States, of recent years have | been content to roll in their prosperity and come a'Tunning like well-behaved dogs at the beck and call | of their masters’ in power. But recent indications lead us to believe that the people of Alaska, at any | rate, are determined to govern themselves. v If we follow the will of the men in power, why | then hold an election, why waste the money and the‘ time?

We have unlimited faith in the honesty of the people, a‘ large faith in their common sense.

Low visibility was the cause for misjudgment of the distance of the plane above the water, it was stated. Arthur G. Shoup, U. S. District Attorney for the First Division with headquarters in Juneau, was in Seattle from Washington, D. C. He said that four small and speedy cutters were to be added to the Coast Guard Service in Alaska this year to combat rum running. He also declared that rum running had been reduced half in Alaska during the recent I'| years. J W. 8. Pekovich had let a contract for driving 1,000 feet of tunnel on his Punter Bay mining property and he expected to have the stamp mill that had been erected on the property at work during the summer. Mr. Pekovich, who had returned from New York shortly before this time, had been in Juneau for several days making arrangements for miners to work at Funter Bay during the summer. Magnus Hanson, well known local halibut fisherman and boat owner, arrived in'port from Seattle with his new boat, Portlock. He made the trip from Seattle in six days. The boat was 65 feet in length, had a 14-foot beam and a capacity of 60,000 pounds. It was equipped,with a 100-horsepower Enterprise Diesel engine and made nine knots per hour. George E. Cleveland, of the B. M. Behnends Bank, who had been South on a vacation, returned home on the Alameda.
