VOICE OF THE PEOPLE With practically all of the returns in for the First Division, candidates who have been nominated are now pretty well determined. The large number of ballots cast in the primary indicates that the general election will probably follow much along the same lines, with the Republican candidate for Delegate probably picking up a few more votes than he received in the primary. A fairly large vote was cast, larger than has been the case in the primary election in the past, and for that reason it can be taken as honestly representdtive ; of the people of the First Division. The trend seems to be that we will have largely a labor, or at least, pro-labor iegislature next spring. As we stated above, it is almost certain that E. L. Bartlett will carry .the general election by a wide margin in the fall. The people have spoken for a pro-labor legisla- ture and a pro-Administration, pro-bureau Delegate. We will not argue with the people. Unfortunately, for reasons of our own, we cannot actively urge the support of Mr. Bartlett. He needs a great deal of support because his task in Washing- ton will not be an easy row to hoe. The House the fortunate | Naples which have been strongly opposed to Badoglio | cipal dissent appears to come from the Party of ! cannot cooperate in any government of which Badoglio | already is anti-Administration and it is conceded by | most that it will be Republican next session. The | Senate, in the case of the Montgomery-Ward property | seizure by uoops. also has shown an anti-Admin- | istration tendency investigation. Alaska is still predominantly Democratic politic- But Outside the Republicans are gaining power. At present, separate States with Republican 4d- ministrations take in 86,000,000 residents of the United States and account for 342 out of 531 electoral votes. The Republicans have about 203 seats out of the total of 435 in the House of Representatives but the Senate still 1s Democratic. Appropriations for Alaska, of course, must come from the House. We believe that it is unfortunate that Mr. Bart- lett made use of the endorsement of President Roose- velt and’ also declared himself so strongly in favor of the bureau system that has turned the House against Mr. Roosevelt. It seems apparent that Mr. Bartlett would have won the nomination without these things and his job in Washington would have been much less difficult. If the pendulum continues to swing, it is very likely that the States will go Republican this fall. However, the trend in the States usually does not take in Alaska until several years after it has set in in the States, and we look for no Republican landslide in Alaska next September. ally | Government for Italy *(Washington Post) With the air somewhat cleared and the opposi- tion somewhat mollified by the promised abdication of King Victor Emmannuel, it begins to appear that Marshal Badoglio may get a representative govern- ment organrized at last. Of the six political parties at as well as to the King, four have now voted willing- ness to participate in the formation of what would amount to a coalition provisional ministry. The prin- Action, whose leader, Alberto Cianca, has said that he mains the head. The other dissidents are the! At a recent meeting the committee of op- sts refused to vote either for or against the resolution to participate in a government with Badoglio. Whether this is mainly because of resent- ment over the initiative of the Communists in urglng‘ collaboration with Badoglio or for deeper reasons of | i policy it is difficult to say. It is of course no secret that all of the parties which have held aloof from the Committee of Na- tional Liberation, with the possible exception of the Communisfs whose aims in Italy as elsewhere remain more or less unscrutable, would be pleased to see Marshal Badoglio retire, But since for the present | there is little likelihood of it, the policy of collabora- tion seems; at this distance, the wisest, especially as the housecleaning of vestigal Fascist officialdom in the portions of Italy held by the Allies now appears | to be proceeding in earnest. With so great a portion | of Italy still unredeemed, and with all anti-Fascist | political activity so recently emerged from under- | ground, 1o one can estimate the relative strength of the various parties in or oustide the Committee | of Liberation. But it is obvious that the extent and nature of the military government of the Allies must be largely determined by the ability and will of the Italians to govern themselves in the period of re- | construction. And a government including such fig- ures as Count Sforza and Signor Groce, as now seems | probable, would certainly command as great preshgel and confidence aboad as in Italy itself. re Nashingies By (Contmuea irom Page One) smaller, 000,000. for building Everything was to be electrically operated, including five large open hearth furnaces and eighteen heat-treating They set the Government back $8,- More than $10,000000 was spent construetion. e | SEABEE TRAVELS | 5,500 MILES HOME FASTER THAN MAIL On a 15-day pre-embarkation leave, Alfred E.

By June 10, all halibut vessels calling in this port were to be able to obtain ice in any quantities desired or needed, relieving a situation which in the past had worked to the disadvantage of the town as a market for the fares of halibut boats. Additions to the ice-making machine of the Juneau Cold Storage Company being made at this time was ex- pected to bring this about, according to Wallis S. George, Secretary of the company. Dr. H. Vance and Warren Wilson, owners of the Alaska Steam Laundry, had purchased the Forrest property on lower Front Street, paying $10,000 for it. Another property change anncunced in town was the sale of the J. S. Morgan home on Distin Avenue to John Pastl for $2,000.
