OKLAHOMA'S SENATOR Elmer
Thomas’ statements to a Senate
appropriations committee this week
lias caused widespread comment
throughout Alaska.
Senator Thomas very evidently is
one of those people who believe
the only way to make their own
possessions look better is to run
down what other people have.
ANY PERSON who has spent as
many hours in Oklahoma as Mr.
Thomas did in Alaska is well quali
fied to take issue with his opinion.
Tliis writer spent four long and
miserable months in Oklahoma,
and that is the only place he’s ever
stood in ankle-deep mud and could
not see forty feet because of dust
in his eyes, or hear the orders from
the C.O. because of the howling
wind. Not just a few hours of it—
four months!
IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA
to instigate an educational fund to
take care of such people. Why not
send him a few pounds of potatoes
from Hope. Palmer, Kcnai, Homer
or any other agricultural section of
Alaska? A few heads of lettuce
and some turnips, carrots, ruta
lilt?, bank

bagas, a quart or so of raspberries
large enough so lie wouldn’t recog
nize them for what they really are,
could be pitched into the program.
It could make no difference where
the products come from, as long
as it's Alaska.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST and by
all means, lot's give the man a leg
to stand on. Send him a few heads
of cabbage. There is no doubt that
he could find at least one from
Oklahoma that would be of good
size and a lot solider than any we
can produce in Alaska.

The Cradle Rocker is still excit
ed over the earthquake this morn
ing, and is not backward to declare,
admit and confess that I was plumb
scared, absolutely paralyzed! It be
ing my first experience of what
seems to have been a real, honest
to goodness earthquake. Broken!
dishes, pictures, mirrors, etc., are!
not unusual in my house, but it
ha always happened from my own
clumsy mishandling. 1
Another earthshaking e vent
seems to be looming larger by the
minute in Seward, the results of
which will not he evident for an
other week. The petitions for mu
nicipal offices are now on file, and
the arguments can be heard around
the tovCn pro and con.
It remains to he seen whether wei
can conduct an election here omit-/
ting name calling and personal!
gibes. Being Americans it is our'
privilege and custom to wax vo
ciferous in anger or eloquent with
oily promises.
As for myself, having filed this
afternoon for councilman, I make
this pledge that if elected to of
fice, I shall be steadfast to what I
consider to be the best for Seward,
shall enter into no secret agree
ments, and will try to be impar
tial at all times, which I believe is
the most difficult attitude to main
tain.
This is my sole and final state
ment upon my candidacy for office
as councilman.
