TOIMV STARTS ACTIVE
CAMPAIGNING FOR
FALL ELECTIONS
Willi tin* appearance in today's
issue of the platform of the Re
publican Club for the Second Div
ision, appearances point toward
the start of the political campaign
for the fnll election, to take place
Tuesday, September 11th.
Since the definite results of the
Primary Election held in April,
■were made public, very little pol
itical "dope’’ has occupied the pub
11c news service.
This year, a departure from the
Old system of holding the' General |
Election In November. will be
made. By an act of the Legis
lature, the General Election in the '
Territory -of Alaska is to be .hell I
|on the fiist Tuesday after the first
Monday in September, from now
Ion. In axUlltion to tliis chan:; >
In the election Jaws, the method
of preparing ihe official ballot
also sustains a chance, a depart
ure from the old conventional
Australian ballot begun two yenr.s
ago.
At various times it was alleged
ly charged that the use of stencils
in voting in communities where
the majority of the voters were
natives or of mixed blood, was be
ing employed in voting. The great
er number at these allegations
occurred in southeastern Alaska
where a great number of the In- ■
dlan voters could not read compet
ently enough to understand which
parson .they were voting- for, aq- 1

cording to those who were suppos
edly bossing the Indian vote.
Thus the change In the form of
preparing the official ballot. Tht,
official ballot is now staggered
systematically; the candidate
whose name appears at the head
of a list wJl be transferred to
the bottom and the second man
will be first for a certain number
of ballots. When the ballots are
completed and ready for voting
they have been so staggered that
every other ballot displays a diff
erent name at the top of a list of
candidates running for the same
office. This apparently* has done
away with the use of stencils,
where mass voting on any one
party has existed prior to this
time.
It is believed that from now on
political activity of the parties in
Monte and the Second Division
will increase up to the time of
election. Determined efforts t.>
gather into the "fold,” everyone
who has the power to vote are al
eady going on. The lineup of
power betwee ntbe two parties re
mains a question jvhlch can only
be settled at the polls.
The advertising of platforms,
tickets, candidates etc., is start
ing and as the campaign progress
es considerable activity among the
various candidates Is pending.
Dirty politics, mud slinging and
such types of sordid campaigning
have todate rema'ned in the b;t?k
ground. Frequent assurances have
