POLITICS QUICKENING
Evidences of political af
fairs experiencing a rapid
acceleration in the Nome
district were noticeable
with the inclusion of sev
eral political advertise
ments in The Nome Nug
get commencing Wednes
day with the Republican
Ticket in the Primary El
ection to be held Tuesday,
April 23th; and again yes
terday with the advertise
ments of Delegate Anthony
J. Dimond, running for re
election on the Democratic
ticket; Tolbert P. Scott, al
so running for re-election
for the house under the
democratic banner in the
primaries, and of George
F. Laiblin, candidate for
the house on the Democrat
ic primary ballot. The ad
vertisement of O. D. Coch
ran as a candidate for Sen
ator in the democratic pri
maries commenced yester
day.
How many others will
soon be publicly announc
ing their candidacies is un
known at this time, but it is
believed numerous candi
dates will be getting into
the swing of territorial div
isional politics within the
next few days.
Only a little more than a;
month remains before the
election. There is no con
test for the legislature on
the Republican Ballot, the
only contests being for Au
ditor with Cash Cole and
C. H. McSpadden running;
and for Highway Engineer
with R. J. Storey and E. F.
Waan out for the nomina
tion^_
On the Democratic Bal
lot there is opposition for
the office of auditor with
Frank A. Boyle J. S. Hof
man out for the nomina
tion. On the legislative
ticket there ere two runn
ing for senator and ten in
the running to fill the bill
for four representatives
from the Second Division.
With competition devel
oping on the Democratic
primary ballot, keen inter
est, it is felt, will soon be
evident in the outcome for
these positions.

Flood Sufferers
Continued From Page One
been asked to raise a large
sum of money to meet this
situation which affects el
even states. Admiral Cary
Grayson is in direct charge
of the relief work and al
ready has one hundred
trained disaster workers in
the field. Alaska is called
upon to help in the work of
raising funds for the flood
sufferers. The Red Cross
is already organizing in
each chapter to raise mon
ey. Contributions to this
fund through the Red
Cross should be general.
It should not be confined to
Red Cross members. Al
aska’s quota has been fixed
by the Red Cross at the
sum of $1,800. It would be
greatly to Alaska’s credit
if she would go over the top
and contribute more than
is asked for. I urge the
people of the Territory to
give generously to this
fund to aid sufferers and to
remember that he who giv
es quickly, gives doubly. I
urge everyone in Alaska to
get in touch with the Red
Cross workers and give as
much as he can afford to
this humanitarian cause.
