One reason so many mar
riages are failures, says a writer,
is because so many failures get
married.
Democracies often are ill
prepared for war but if you no
tice they always come in strong
at the finish.
Swallowing false pride will
never give you indigestion.
"For the cause that lacks assistance;
For the wrong that needs resistance;
For the future in the distance, and
The good that we can do."

WHAT THE DEMOCRATS
HAVE DONE FOR YOU:
Jusl so you will not forget what the DEMOCRATS have done
for you during their TWENTY YE^.RS in office, the Seward
Republican Club is reminding you of a few of the outstanding
accomplishments.
1. Seward has wanted airport improvements for the past 15 years.
The DEMOCRATS promised it. They PROMISED it for this
year—DEFINITELY. Now they have PROMISED it DEFI
NITELY for next year. Seward will get its airport—oh, yes!
We ll get it—the DEMOCRATS HAVE PROMISED!
2. Kodiak, Anchorage, Seward, Homer, and every other com
munity of any size in the Territory are in crying need of
schools. We will all get those schools. HOW? Brothers, you
will dig down in your own pockets to build them! Will the
DEMOCRATS do it? SURE—HAVEN’T YOU HEARD? They
set up the Alaska Public Works Bill, placed $70 million dollars
under General Services Administration two years ago. APART
MENTS, SCHOOLS, LIBRARIES, SEWER AND WATER
SYSTEMS—all these fine things were coming to Alaska.
WHERE ARE THEY? Eighteen projects have been approved.
Out of those 18 projects ONLY THREE are under construction
after TWO YEARS! Does Seward have its sewer, its hospital,
its school? Does Kodiak or Homer have their schools?
Seward does because it bonded itself and built it!
3. Seward has plead for years for a decent road through the
forest. An appropriation has now been made in Congress and
bids are to be let next month for the construction of that road.
The DEMOCRATS CANNOT claim credit for that. Every
person in Alaska knows that it was a matter of MILITARY
NECESSITY—a belated effort to build up the defense of
Continental United States.
4. The last Territorial Legislature (1947) drew up a beautiful tax
plan to finance the Territory. The DEMOCRATS did it. BUT—
they couched it in such terms that it was broken at the first
test!
5. The DEMOCRATS appropriated $750,000 for schools in Alaska.
They have told you all about it on their visits about the Terri
tory. What they DID NOT tell you was that before the legis
lators had unpacked their bags at home the fund was FROZEN
and STILL has NOT been distributed!
6. Two years ago there was an overwhelming response in the
entire Territory on the referendum against FISHTRAPS. The
DEMOCRATS were going to abolish those fishtraps. TODAY,
EVERY FISHERMAN knows that there are MORE fishtraps
than ever before!
7. The DEMOCRATS believe in the TWO-PARTY plan of
government—
as long as both parties are DEMOCRATS.
THGRWALD QSBO — REPUBLICAN
For House of Representatives
Seward has a candidate for the Territorial Legislature. He
is NOT A DEMOCRAT. He will make no promises, except to do
all in his power to protect Seward and the Kenai Peninsula in
any proposed legislation. He wouldn't promise anything for 20
years because he doesn’t expect to live that long! ,
Thorwald Osbo has been a resident of Seward for over 35
years, as a working man and. in late years, as a business man.
NOBODY will question his integrity.
Seward will have NO REPRESENTATION in the next legis
lature unless you elect THORWALD OSBO who is NOT a Demo
crat. He is a REPUBLICAN who has NEVER changed his af
filiations. He has always been a REPUBLICAN and is PROUD
of it!
A VOTE for OSBO is a VOTE for SEWARD
and the KENAI PENINSULA!
