ENGSTROM, ANITA GARNICK. Question 1: Why did your Kepublican re.iesentatives Frank Johnson, Engqtrom and Garnick help the New Deal- ers kill House Bill No. 1 which was introduced by Republican Speaker Oscar Gill for the purp of giving the Territory more authority over its own affairs and taking away power from the Federally appointed, non-Alaskan Governor? On TFebruary 25, 1947, the 30th day of the Session, Steve McCutcheon, the Governc Legislative Spokesman, moved that House Bill No. 1 be laid indefinitely on the table. Republican Representative Engstrom seconded that motion. Republican Representatives FRANK JOHNSON, ENG- STROM AND GARNICK voted affirmatively for that motion, and thereby helped New Dealer Steve McCutcheon kill House Bill No. 1. Why did they vote against the best interests of Republicanism ? Why did they vote to keep the non-Alaskan, federally appomt(d Governor in power. Question 2: Why did your Republican representatives Frank Inllnxun Engstrom and Garnick deprne you and all Republicans of the right to participate in the government of your own—the Republican party ? On February 26, 1947, the 31st day of the session, Re- publican Representatives Frank Johnson, Engstrom and Garnick, along with New Dealer Spokesman Steve Mec- Cutcheon, voted down House Bill No. 2 which provided that your National Committeeman and woman and the Delegates and Alternates to the National Conventions should be elected by your. direct vote. They killed that bill. They destroyed your right to participate in an open election in the government of your own—the Republican party. Who were they then voting for? Certainly not for you and ‘the majority of Republicans. Question No. 3: Why didn’t Republican Representatives Frank Johnson, Engstrom and Garnick desire that the vot- ers at the primary which will be held on April 27, 1948, should be sufficiently qualified to be able to read and write the United States Constitution in the English language? On February 6, 1947, the 11th day of the Session, Re- publican Representatives Frank Johnson, Engstrom and Garnick voted against that amendment, and attempted to kill House Bill No. 11. Why do they want unqualified people, who can’t read or write even the United States Constitution, to be able to vote? Later on the same day, two attempts were made to block the passage of the Primary Law which was House Bill No. 11 and under which you are privileged on April 27, 1948, to vote without being obliged to tell any ward heeling politician what ballot you will select. Republican Representatives Frank Johnson, Engstrom and Garnick voted to support those b]ockadmg attempts. Fortunately they lost. On February-8, 1947, the 13th day of the session, another attempt was made to stop the passage of House Bill No. 11, the primary ballot law. Again Republican Representatives Frank Johnson, Eng- strom and Garnick voted, along with New Dealer Steve Mccutcheon, to block the passage of that law. Fortunately again they lost. SUGGESTION You can vote for a total of 8, but not more than 8 Representatives. Therefore, out of the remaining Republi- can candidates for Representative, select those 4 more whom you think best qualified to serve, and also vote for them. Wilson and Arlzxur Soper Why did they vote against the best interests of Re- publicanism? Who is it they were voting for? Were they supporting the non-Alaskan, federally-appointed Governor? They of a certainty were voting against Republicanism. Not until all of these attempts to prevent House Bill No. 11 from becoming a law, did Frank Johrison, Engstrom and Garnick vote in favor of it. Question 4: Why didn’t Republican Representatives Frank Johnson, Engstrom and Garnick want to enact House Bill No. 100 which provided ior a referendum on whether or not National Committeemen and women and Delegates and Alternates to National Conventions should be elected by a direct vote? Did they want to keep you and other Republicans from participating in your party’s internal government ? On March 1v, 1947, the 13 d day of the session, they helped New Deal spokesman McCutcheon to kill that bill by voting against it when it came up for final passage. They didn’t even favor giving you and other Republi- cans the privilege of expressing your opinion at the polls as to whether you favored that legislation. Why didn’t they? Question 5: Why didn't Republican Representatives Frank Johnson, Engstrom and Garnick want the Republican Party’s government organized and controlled in Alaska through the medium of Divisional and Territorial Conven- tions? Why didn’t they vote for the good of the Republican Party instead of aiding New Deal Spokesman McCutcheon help kill Senate Bill No. 84, which had passed the Senate by a large majority and which would have permitted you and all Republicans to participate in your Republican Party’s government in Alaska. On March 18, 1947, the 51st day of the Session, they helped Democratic Leader McCutcheon defeat that bill, by voting against its passage. So you still have no means, you are still denied the privilege of participating in the government of your own Republican party in Alaska. Whose fault is it? Question 6: Were Republican Representatives Frank John- son, Engstrom, and Garnick voting for the good of the Republican Party and of Alaska, or were they voting for a federally-appointed, non-Alaskan Governor, when they joined with New Deal Spokesman McCutcheon to sustain the Governor’s veto of House Bill No. 108 which would have required administrative agency boards and commissions to hold public meetings and hearings when adopting rules, regu- lations and procedures. On the 60th day of the Session Frank Johnson, Eng- strom and Garnick voted with McCutcheon to sustain the Governor’s veto of House Bill No. 108, and thereby killed it and thereby said no publicity should be required to be given by administrative agency boards and commissions. Question 7: Why did Republican Representatives Frank Johnson, Engstrom, and Garnick aid the Federally ap- pointed non-Alaskan Governor in his attempt to not re- appoint A. H. Ziegler to the Territorial Board of Education? On March 21, 1947, the 54th day of the Session, Re- publican Representatlves Frank Johnson, Engstrom and Garnick voted with New Dealers McCutcheon, Almaquist, Barnett, and Hope in a last vain attempt to deprive the Territorial Board of Education of the eminent and satisfact- ory services of Mr. Ziegler. Fortunately, they were outvoted. And, Mr. Ziegler was reappointed, but over their qepposition. The House Journals of the 1947 Legislative Session show that Republican Representatives Frank Johnson, Engstrom and Garnick voted consistently, almost invariably, with the New Dealers and in support of the federally ap- pointed, non-Alaskan Governor. They didn’t vote Republican. Are 'you going to re-elect these 3 candidates, who, although (claiming to be Republicans, voted against Republi- canism and the best interests of the Territory and of the * Republican Party? We don’t believe you are. BUT, DON'T SPOIL YOUR BALLOT 1. Vote for only 2 Senators, namely: VUKOVICH and WILLIAMS. .2. Vote for MacKINNON, SHELTON, LOCKEN and WINN as Representatives, and for not more than 4 more. REMEMBER 1. Vote at the Primary Elecnon on April 27, 1948. o Vote for the good of Alaska and of Republicanism. 3. Vote for those Candidates whose names are given in this reminder. YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY WHETHER YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT. No Previous registration required. This is a Blanket Primary Election. Every voter receives the same kind of a ballot.
