The question is, “Is it proper to use 1 building that is maintained at the pense of all citizens to promote the interests of one small political group, and thereby convert Federal and Territorial funds to the use of one political party?” Emanating from that Silver Tea was considerable publicity designed to persuade the voters that Demo- crat Administration has been of benefit to Alaska. But no mention is made of conditions that exist in Alaska today after fifteen years of Democrat Administration. Significantly, no mention is made of the condition of our fisheries after 15 years of Democrat mis- management. The salmon run is de- pleted, our resident purse-seiners are unable to earn a living in their oc- cupation, cannery workers are de- nied employment and wages, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in plant are Jving idle—all as the re- sult of 15 vears control of our greatest resource. Nothing is said abduf mifning, our second basic industry. No mention of this project.
