NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Pourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash, LOOK THEM OVER WELL The coming Territorial Primary Election will have a ballot a yard long, or close to it. Therefore, it would be wise for all Alaskans to look over the list of can- didates well before voting April 25. Throughout the Territory, 32 members of the House of Representatives will be nominated in the primary for each party, have full tickets in other divisions. was half this size, The Senate will consist of 16 members next year instead of the usual eight, also dotbled in size. How- ever, one holdover Senator will come down from each division, so voters will have to worry about choosing only three on each ticket, in each division—12 in all Two years ago it In this division, Democratic ticket, contests are | seen for Delegate, Attorney General, Highway En- gineer, and House and Senate. s For Delegate, Democrats must choose one out of | three candidates—E. L. Bartlett, Henry Roden and A. H. Ziegler. For Attorney General we must choose between Karl Drager of Anehorage and Ralph J. Rivers of Fairbanks. For Highway Engineer—Frank A. W. Leonard Smith. Metcall and There are four Division candidates for the four- | year term in the Senate, two to be chosen on the Democratic ticket from James V. Davis, Joe Green, Orystal S. Jenne and Norman R. Walker. Andy | Gundersen antomatically gets the nomination for Sen- ! ntor for the short term. Nashingtes ing a party, | Governor providing the Republicans | The Democratic ticket for the House is a long 15 seeking eight nominations. Candidates are as follows: Edith B. Barras, A. B. Cain, Carroll Clausen, G. A. Doelker, F. G. Hanford, Ragnar A. Hansen, Chris Hennings, Andrew Hope, J. F. Krause, John E. Olofson, Frank Peratrovich, J. H. Sawyer, Curtis G. Shattuck, W. C. Stump and Andrew Zorich. The Republicons even have a contest on for the Delegate's nomination with John E. Manders and George B. Grigsby vying for the nomination. They have candidates for Attorney General, Auditor and Highway Engineer, but no.contest For the Senate the Republicans have L. S. Ferris, Heward D. Stabler and Mrs. E. E. Engstrom, can- didates for the four-year term, two to be nominated. All eight candidates for the House will be automatically nominated We note that two Indians—Frank Peratrovich, Mayor of Klawock, and Andrew Hope of Sitka, have filed on the Democratic ticket for the House for this division. Certainly, with the increased size of the House for the coming session, the Indians should be represented ,and we are glad to see these filings. The election is just two weeks from tomorrow. Start looking the list over now—and vote April 25. JUST IIKE THE MARINES Just like the Marines, the Peratrovich family seems to have landed in Klawock's municipal election and have the situation well in hand. Elected as mayor was Frank Peratrovich. Elected as councilmen were: John Peratrovich, Nick Peratrovich and Robert J. Peratrovich, Anyhow, it should have been an economical cam- paign. “Vote for Peratrovich” would have taken care of the four of them. .mdor and Confidence (Washington Post) The indiscretion of a United States Army ser- geant is responsible for the release of the news that |23 American transport planes were shot down by our own anti-aircraft fire during the invasion of Sicily | one the Army Stars and Stripes, did not know that it is a form of lese majeste to tell of blunders by our mili- tary and naval commanders.
