He has seen the legislature in operation. Democrats and Republicans alike, we think, will be glad when the time comes that party divisions are not drawn along lines of “Gruening or anti-Gruening members."” We should elect men to office for their ability to serve best for Alaska—not because they can be ruled by the administration, or because they cannot be. ! However, as long as Governor Gruening plays | politics to the extent of attempting to dictate who will or who will not be chosen to run for office, who will or who will not be nominated in party primaries; as long as he uses his power in pressure politics (a power we grant that he has through the use of his office), so long will the men and women elected be pro- or anti-adminsitration. Being anti-administration does not mean, neces- sarily, that one is anti-Gruening. A legislator can be an independent. He may be in favor of a part O B¢ “administration program.

But if he disagrees with a single Gruening dic- tate, he faces a fight against a Gruening purge should :lu- wish to run for office again. Among legislators who succumbed to the Gov- | ernor’s removal treatment because they had opposed | some of his program during previous sessions in the we can mention Senator Frank Whaley; members of the House, Alaska Linck, Curtis Shat- tuck and Harvey Smith; Senator N. R. (Doc) Walker. In the case of the latter, Gruening, a Democrat, in legislator, for election to the Senate for the First Division. In the 1950 primaries, word was sent out to elimi- nate Robert Hoopes, who had served in the House of Representatives from the Fourth Division, and who carried Fairbanks in the primaries in his race for the Senate, was defeated by the vote from the villages up and down the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers where the word was spread “no votes for Hoopes.” A similar attempt was made by the administra- tion to get James Nolan, Democrat, in the primary election and again in the general election this year. But Nolan is too well known throughout j the First Division to yield to the administration attack | and we join many Southeast Alaskans in being proud of his high vote. The Democr covering Southeast Alaska during the recent campaign touring in a special airplane included Bob Bartlett, Frank Peratrovich, Amelia} Gundersen, Verne Metcalfe and B. D. Stewart. These people passed out campaign literature asking that people vote for Democratic candidates in the general election. James Nolan was not among those h\u‘(l' Only candidate for Senator for whom these Democrats asked support was Frank Peratrovich. Sent by a superior, one of the administration- supported candidates' came into this office and asked why The Empire was not supporting “the straight Democratic ticket.” Yet these same Démocrats were not supporting Nolan who is the chairman of the Democratic Div sional Committee. Nor were they supporting Marcus Jensen or Bob Coughlin, Democratic candidates for the House. j Nolan’s large vote is ‘more than a personal vote or party vote for him because of his record of ability and integrity in the House of Representatives where he served in the 1947 and 1949 sessions. A part of that vote, we believe is a protest against the Grueninz band of politics, in which, we are sQrry to say, he was joined, this year, by Delegate Bob Bartlett. We have been told that during the hearings by the Senate committee on Governor Gruening’s con- firmation for reappointment in 1949, he was warned by Senator Millikin (R. Colorado) “to stay out of politics.” He is not staying out of politics. And until he does, members of the legislature will probably declare themselves by their votes to be pro- or anti-adminis- tration. A realignment, with the interest of the Territory the first consideration of everyone, will be difficult until the governor follows the suggestion of the Sen- ator who told him his business in the Territory was that of a Federal appointee, that he should leave the Territory’s pelitics to Alaskans. rid of I} JUNEAU SKI (LUB BREAKFAST SUNDAY The Juneau Ski Club will start off their membership drive of the season with a breakfast for al! members, potential members and ski enthusiasts to be held in the Gold Room of the Baranof Hot Sunday morning at 9 o'cleck, cording to Club President Hardy.
