STRIFE IN THE TOWNSEND
GROUP IS PLEASING ALL
OLD-LINE POLITICIANS 1936
By BYRON PRICE
(Chief of Bureau, The As
sociated Press, Wash)
The explosion in the
Townsend camp is rated by
many old-line politicians as
one of the prime political
developments of 1936. Of
course opinions differ as to
the ultimate consequences,
but the feeling is general
that a profound change, of
one kind or another, is tak
ing place with respect to
the most-discussed of all of
TO THE VOTERS OF ALASKA
Juneau, Alaska, March 2, 1936.
In 1932, at the urgent request of friends through
out the Territory, Frank A. Boyle became the candidate
of the Democratic Party for the office of Auditor of Alaska
and was elected. He assumed the duties of the office on
April 1, 1933. He is now' a candidate for re-election to
the office of Auditor and will appreciate your support
and vote at the Democratic Primary on April 28, 1936.
Knowing the responsibility attaching to an office
of this kind he has put it on a purely business basis and
has run il in an efficient and economical manner. A com
parison of the reports of the last two biennial audits of
the Territorial books will show:
First: Claims against the Territory
which were audited during 1931
and 1932 . 13,851
Similar claims audited during 1933
and 1934 .23,796
Excess during past two years .9,945
Second: Office expense during 1931
and 1932 .$29,922.00
Office expense during 1933 and 1934 23,206.67
Reduction during past two years $6,715.33
In other words the work of the office was in
creased about seventy-five percent, while the cost to the
Territory was reduced about twenty-five percent. In ad
dition to the usual duties of the office he has served as
Secretary of the following boards:
Board of Administration
Board of Liquor Control
Pioneers’ Home Building Commission,
Law Revision Commission
In the conduct of the office he has at all times co
operated with the other offices of the Territory and of the
Federal Government.
He was present at the convention of the Democrat
ic Party held at Seward on January 18, 1936 and assisted
in the preparation and adoption of the Platform provided
by that convention, is in accord with and endorses the
same, and particularly favors:
1. The increase in appropriations for relief of the
old pioneers so as to insure additional com
forts to those who have done so much in the
development of the Territory.
2. The appropriation of sufficient funds to pro
vide a Home for the aged women of the Ter
ritory. or for the care of such women in hos
pitals or otherwise whenever such care is
needed.
3. More liberal appropriations by the Federal
Government for the care and education of the
Indians and Eskimos of the Territory, and par
ticularly for the construction of additional hos
pitals to take care of such Indians or Eskimos
when they are in need of medical attention.
He has always been an active supporter of the
Democratic Party and assisted in the campaign of 1932
which resulted in the election of Anthony J. Dimond to
Congress and backed him in his 1934 campaign. He is a
supporter of the principles and policies of Mr. Dimond and
will do his utmost to return him to Congress where he has
been of great assistance to the people of Alaska.
He also endorses the great work of President
Franklin D. Roosevelt for the country, and particularly for
the aid given the Territory for the relief of our unemploy
ed during the period of the depression.

the “group movements’’ ot
the current era.
This feeling is based in
'part on Dr. Townsend’s ab
andonment of his position
as a political independent,
in part on the disagreement
between him and his chief
lieutenant, and in part on
the vigorous handling of
the Townsenders at the con
gressional hearings.
Heretofore, those who
have feared the Townsend
movement have been con
cerned especially by its sin
gleness of purpose, by the
solidarity of its adherents,
and by its absolute disre
gard for party lines and
party labels.
These are qualities which
make any wide - spread
group movement formidab
le in politics. Consequently
there is great curiosity as
to the degree in which
these qualities have been
lost by the Townsenders.
Those experienced in pol
itics openly expressed won
der whether Dr. Townsend,
with his limited political
background, had any notion
of the consequences when
he discarded his rating as
an independent in politics,
registered as a republican,
and announced his support
of Senator Borah for Presi
dent.
Either a group movement
must be independent, or it
must assume the involve
ments of partisanship.
Internal complications
are easiest to avoid when
such a movement has but
a single plank in its plat
form. As the Townsend
movement has had up to
date. They multiply when
the field is broadened to ii>
elude attachments to such a
thing as a presidential can
didacy based on many is
sues.
It may be that those at
the head of the movement
can reform their lines, and
still find a way to be an ef
fective force in politics.
i For the time being, how
jOver, the situation is great
ly confused. And that is
pleasing to the old-liners,
: because they know that
many an independent poli
tical venture of similar
structure has been wreck
ed completely in the past
by internal dissension.
Incidentally, the Town
send flareup adds a rather
extraordinary list of tribu
lations suffered by the
group movements of 1936
' politics.
A year ago, it was the un
iversal belief that the cam
paign would see something
of a free-for-all among pow
erful organizations which
overlapped and disregard
ed party lines.
Now the leaders of the
Liberty League seem to
have abandoned any idea of
a conservative coalition
backing the share-our-weal
th third-party notion has
been almost forgotten.
Father Coughlin’s Union
for Social Justice has dis
played no recent indica
tions of striking out for it
self. The Talmadge revolt
simmers, but administra
tion leaders, even.in Geor
gia no longer speak of itj
with apprehension.
I
And the Townsend move
ment, which had more than
one office-holder shaking in
his boots, is occupied with
its own domestic troubles.
The tendency of the cam
paign is more and more to
fall into the old familiar
lines. Broadly, it is becom
ing increasingly a contest
between a strongly-entren
ched Democratic organiza
tion and a revived and mil,
tant Republican organiza
tion.

HOUSEWIVES get tlu ir new menu
ideas largely from advertising.
What city women will serve tor
dinner tomorrow depends on what
meal ideas they find in such maga
zines as Good Housekeeping, Wo
man’s Home Companion, McCall’s,
Ladies’ Home Journal this after
noon.
What farm women will serve
originates in the columns of such
famous publications as Successful
Farming, Country Gentleman and
Progressive Farmer.
It may he an idea on cheese from
Wisconsin, on meat from Chicago,
on canned fruit from California.
Or it maybe — nowadays it’s more
likely to he — a delicious sea meal
made with salmon from Alaska.
"Salmon Roll Sublime,” for instance.
The full directions for making
"Salmon Roll Sublime” and several
other extra good salmon dishes ap
peared in March Canned Salmon
advertisements in leading women’s
magazines.
Lifelike pictures, many in full
natural color, showed how the new
sea meals look—how to serve them.
Text matter told why these dishes
were so good—and so good for you.
Try this recipe at home. Serve
Canned Salmon regularly.
Advertising is always a slow ['roc
ess. In time it will of course help
the Canned Salmon Industry hut it
also should help every citizen of
Alaska.
A steady demand for \laska
Canned Salmon means better times
for all inhabitants of the I'erritory.
What Canned Salmon
advertising will
accomplish for Alaska
Canned Salmon advertising to I . S. women is
paid Jor entirely by the tunned Salmon Indus
try. Its purposes include the following:
]. It will seek to safeguard this Alaska industry
against the competition from other food
products in America.
2, It will seek to stuhili/e America's demand
lor this Alaska product at fair prices— so
that good wages may he paid to Alaska
workers.
3 it will, if successful, help make it possible
lor the industry to continue its support ol
the Territorial government through lav pay
ments. The (ianiied Salmon Industry in I*>.‘13
(last year for which records art- complete)
paid 77% of all laves collected by the Terri
torial government.
^ It will ereule interest in Alaska and its re
sources and help to bring more people to the
Territory.
5. 11 will guard the future of the Industry —
protect the future ot the thousands of Alaska
people who derive income directly ami indi
rectly from the canning of Alaska salmon.
