LXVII, NO. 10,395 JUNEAU, ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1946 MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS — PRICE TEN CENTS — RED SOX WIN BY SHUTOUT OVER CARDS State SURPRISE BY LARGE GAINS Labor Office, One Senate, One House Seat Are Hotly Contested Fears that Southeast Alaska might be anti-statehood have been proven groundless. Alaska’s First Judicial Division apparently has put its OK upon Alaska statehood now—the state- hood referendum question drawing & slightly less than two to one favoring vote at yesterday’s gen- eral election. ‘Tightest contests in the First Di- viston were in the Territory-wide race for Labor Commissioner and in the run for the eighth open seat in the House of the Legislature. Complete unofficial returns from 31 of Southeast Alaska's 53 precincts —with Ketchikan's First Precinct missing—show incumbent Demo- cratic Labor Commissioner Walter P. Sharpe leading Republican Henry Benson by a mere three votes, with the third candidate, In- dependent Ross E. Kimball, out of | the running. Republican Frank Price and Democratic Legislator - Chris - Hen- nings are vying for the last va- cant House seat and have equal votes. Also in contention for the eighth place in the House are Democrats Joe Krause and John; Smith. Leading House candidates, | in . order, are James Nolan, Steve! Vukovich, Mrs. Elton Engstrom,' G. E. Almquist,| Harry Newell and Andrew Hope. All appear assured of seats. If| Price were to capture the eighth| place, the Republican party would | have an equal division of First Di- vision Housz places in the next: Legislature for the first time since the Democrats moved into power in 1932. A Republican surge is evidenced | also in Dr. L. P. Dawes’ position as leading Senate contestant. Dr. Dawes leads his nearest competitor by more than 500 votes and is sure| of election. Democrats Frank Pera- trovich and Andrew Gunderson are heatedly contesting the second Sen- ate vacancy. { Delegate to Congress E. L. (Bob) | Bartlett has steadily piled up a' more than two-to-one lead for re-| election over Republican Almer J. Peterson but Treasurer Oscar G. Olson is closely pressed by GOPer| Cash Cole. The second question referred to! the people by the Legislature, pro- | posed adoption of the Blanket Pri- mary Ballot system, has won First, Division favor by the widest edge recorded in yesterday’s general election. Favoring votes override those opposed by a near four-to-one count. Only one Southeast Alaska | precinct has so far gone on record against adoption of the Blanket Primary. Major precincts still to be return- ed include the large First Precinct of Ketchikan, Hoonah, Hydaburg, Kake and Klawock. Voting yes- terday throughout the First Divis- jon was heavy. | Vegelables Thrive n Hiroshima Soil | Blasted by A-Bomb | HIROSHIMA—On soil seared by the first atomic bomb ever loosed in warfare, the Japanese are rais- ing a bumper vegetable crop, qui- eting fears the ground might be barren for years. Kyodo News Agency says many individual yields are even better proportionately than in the sur-| rounding countryside which escaped | the atomic blast. The citizens of Hiroshima have planted vegetable gardens around| the temporary homes they have| built among the city's ruins. | K — h REPUBLICANS jouPaIg Juneau No. 1 Juneau No. 2 Juneau No. 3 Thane West Juneau Salmon Creek | Tenakee | Mendenhall Lynn Canal Gustavus | Scow Bay Jamestown Bay Douglas Petersburg Skagway ‘Ward Cove Mountain | Saxman Wacker Craig Sitka Ketchikan No. 2 | Pelican Wrangell Stikine Yakutat Chilkat | Klukwan Haines H Chichagof | Metlakatla Point Totals UNOFFICIAL RETURNS-FIRST DIVISION-GENERAL ELECTION, OCTOBER 8, 1946 Senator ood Is Favored By Southeast Alaska RUDY YORK - SWATS OUT HOME RUN Sends Two'Meh in Ahead~ in First Inning-Ferriss Hurls Tight Game SHORT SCORE (Today's Game) Delegate Treasurer Labor C m.
