Rally Candidates
Speak At Wasilla
An enthusiastic crowd of
over 100 turned out for the
Republican Rally held Oct. 20
at Williwaw Lodge on Wasilla
Lake.
Martha Stewart was chair
man of the rally committee. At
tending candidates were Mike
Stepovich, candidate for gover
nor; Lowell Thomas, Jr., candi
date for the U. S. House of Re
presentatives; Bob Stratton,
running for the State Senate,
District E; Gene Reid, candi
date for U. S. Representative,
District 7; and Brad Phillips,
campaign manager for Stepo
vich.
Phillips acted as master of
ceremonies for the rally and
introduced the speakers.
In urging his audience to
make a “change”, Mike Stepo
vich, gubernatorial candidate
agreed that his opponent is a
nice guy, however, that as an
administrator he cannot handle
the job of governor of Alaska
in a manner that is advantage
ous to the Alaskan taxpayer.
Continuing, Stepovich said
“Mr. Egan’s spending and bung
ling has created too much gov
ernment in Juneau and as a
matter of fact, we now have
more government than used to
come out of Washington, D. C.
during Territorial days.”
In conclusion Stepovich felt
that his opponent is not pay-1
ing enough attention to thej
needs of Alaskans, that more
elective offices are needed, and
Alaska’s natural resources

Wasilla, Alaska
should be surveyed so the land
can be used “as the good Lord
intended.”
Gene Reid, Palmer area farm
er pointed out that while he is
not a politician, he is a work
ing farmer. Promising the vot
ers “all” is not good business,
and Reid said he would work
for Alaska as an Alaskan.
Lowell Thomas Jr., Anchor
age resident aspiring to the seat
in the House of Representatives
now held by Ralph Rivers
claimed his opponent had made
elaborate claims for his abilit
ies and results in Washington.
Specifically Thomas question
ed what the present represen
tative did in regards to lifting
the crab embargo. Another
point brought out by Thomas
was Rivers’ action when the
Russian fishing fleet invaded
Alaska waters.
Contending that Rivers was
a Kennedycrat and voting 100
percent down the Kennedy line,
Thomas said that a 100 per
cent administration voting rec
ord is not in Alaska’s best in
terest.
The last candidate to speak
was Bob Stratton, Anchorage
businessman and running for
the State Senate. Stratton
spoke in favor of the Agricul
tural Loan Revolving Fund and
reiterated his continuing sup
port of the program, that is so
vital to the Matanuska Valley
area. He felt that social and
economic progress must be
brought about through fiscal
responsibility, which our pres
ent administration apparently
shows no intention of doing.
A dinner preceded the cam
paign speeches, followed by a
social hour.

DEAR EDITOR:
Your Editorial of October 25,
although it covered the subject
very well, has done little to ov
ercome the apathy of the local
voters.
Of approximately 1,411 tax
payers only 400 have registered
to date. 201 of these could de
cide the issue. Only 42 attend
ed the hearing.
Besides the $1,322,000 bond
authorization for local schools
there will be four (4) bond au
thorizations amounting to $17,
325.000 to be voted upon on the
state level. $5,950,000 for Uni
versity of Alaska construction;
$5,000,000 for construction and
equipment of certain elemen
tary and secondary schools;
$4,175,000 trunk airports at
Lower Yukon, Sand Point, Bar
row, Sitka and Savoonga; $2,
200.000 Vocational school at
Kodiak-Aleutians Senate Dis
trict.
Almost all taxes are passed
on to the consumer along with
the cost of production.
It is difficult to pin down
just who the consumers are.
But they are apparently some
of the same people who shop
outside of Palmer to save the
sales tax, then come home to
vote for tax increases.
