BI-YEARLY POLITICS
Politics, the bane of many an
honest citizen, comes only once
every two years, in Alaska, fortu
nately; or else, the Lord only
knows how people in small towns
■would get along. As it is, per
sons of opposing political beliefs
bften develop very short tempers
by the time election day rolls
around, but if we had politics to
occupy our waking moments ev
ery year, it is hard to say what
would really happen to many a
group who have been friends and
bosom pals for years and years.
This year we have politics to
interest the masses in its historic
elements as well as future conse
quences. On one side you hear
“Return the Gallant Leader Roos
evelt”, and on the other “Return
the Government to the People by
Electing Landon”. Whichever
way you turn some one will say
vote democratic, or vote republi
can; whatever you do, it’s called
a political move; whenever you
talk to a politician you have to
agree with him or you’ve got a
a fight on your hands; until the
average citizen doesn’t know
what to expect next. The only
thing he really does know, is
that he’s thankiul it will soon be
over and he won’t $ave to bother
Sidestepping political arguments
for another two years, and that’s
one consolation.
We in Alaska don’t have to wor
ry about casting our vote for
President—we don’t have one;
but there is usually much inter
est evoked, as it is well for Alas
ka to go with whichever party is
successful in the national elec
tions, otherwise it might be diffi
cult to secure the much-needed
appropriations to carry on in the
Territory.
Unfortunately much of the high
pressure political campaigning
will occur this year after the
election in Alaska has taken
place, and the citizens of the Ter
ritory will have to guess for
themselves. That is a point
which should bear a little thot.
The election comes early in Sep
tember. That works a hardship
on nearly all sections because it
is really too early for the major
ity of those who are working in
the mining districts, removed
from voting precincts. If it were
established early in October
there is little doubt that a much
larger vote would be cast, as then
more voters are coming in from
the hills—some for winter grub
stakes and others who are wind
ing up their summer operations.
The next legislature might be
prevailed upon to consktyp this
point. September is too early and
