RAP «. O. P.
CHICAGO, Nov. 4, (AP)—Tho
National Progressive Republican
organisation appealed Friday for
the nation to support its Demo
cratic Brea dent and demanded that
art tacks on the administtmatton cease.
The Progressives denounced tho
criticism of the Republican Nat
ional Committee on the Roosevelt
Riecovery program. They accused
the G. O. P. committee of poor
sportsmanship, saying: "The att
ack just made by the Republican
Committee against the Recovery
Program of the Administration, ;
will be resented by the American ,
people. The utter failure of the
reactionalry Republicans to proper- ,
3y manage the country, is still ,
fresli in the minds of the people.
The Progressive Republican Nat
ional Committee urges the people
to stand loyally behind the Presi
dent at this time and support hint
in his effort, to direct the nation
back to sound recovery. Construe- j
live oritioiam la always permissible :
but the American.. principle of fair
play will not tolerate any attempt
to ‘rock the boiait’ by those who
betrayed the nation."
Many leaders of the progressive
organization supported RooeevelCs
o.ndidacy against Hoover's.

not concrete proposals as to sea
foods. Dimond was joined by

ADMINISTRATION working
ON FARMERS l-RICICS
I ” f
Washington, Nov. 3rd, (AP) —
The Administration, spurred by re
ports of growing unrest among
the farmers, have drafted new
plans to get higher prices for
farmers, with limited price fixing.
The nigtter is under consideration.
The details of the plan are closSly
guarder as five nildwestern gov
ernors and Secretary Wallace are
trying to get in into final form
for Roosevelt.
The Democratic House leaders,
Kainey and Burns, the latter floor
leader, said that the recent repub
lican pamphlet discussing Roose
velt and the NRA, would prove a
boomerang on the minority party
because it contained nothing hut
“destructive criticism.”
Rainey said that if the republi
cans desert the non-partisan atti
tude assumed in enacting legisla
tion, they also should sugges'
something better, which was not
done. Burns also said that there
should not he any sniping by any
political party in times like these.
”1 don't think the people are
going to pay much attention to
that sort of attack. If the repub
licans have anything to offer, they
should come forward with It.”

Beginning with this issue The
Nome Nugget will continue only us
a weekly paper, the Daily Tele
kmpli Bulletin having been sus
pended November 1st, for the win
ter period :>r 4 least until con
ditions warrant resuming a daily

ginning next we k. adding new
features to its news columns. Tele
gira-ph service will be maintained
as usual. The Weekly Njugget will
go to press not laitei: than one
p.m. every Saturday, thus insur
ing advertisers an early distribu
tion of the papers to the sub
scribers. Tills rule wiM uot he
elastic, and adver Isers are re
quested to plan their advertising
ahead and work with us.
Anything needed during the
week to advertise some impor tant
matter, can be arranged by print
ing dodgers or circulars, hut even
this would hardly be* necessary if
plans are made, in advance for all
steal affairs, thus giving the pub
lic at leas one week's notice in
advance.
The Job printing department of
the Nugget is at your service, we
will have more time to devote to ^
thbv -biancb of the business and i
liope that trade at home
among she merchants as well as
the people, will have more effect
in Nome from now' on than it
lias in the past. Our rates Will
he fair and in accordance with our
expense of doing business without
maintaining a big overhead.

81.25 per month, by carrier within !
the g'tty limits, or $12.00 per year
payable in advance. Rates via
mall to outlying sections and the !
states will remain as usual 812.00
p< r year in advance. in order '
to ‘encourage the building up of j
a larger sub-eriptlon Hat in Nome I
and discourage the practice of |

good weekly paper, it is going to j
be necessary to receive the flnan- I
rial support of those who are in a '
position to Hultsorlbe for the home ;
iwper.
It is a hard task to keep up u
paper in any email town, more
especially when it furnishes an
Aissoo'nted Press wire service. The
<Nugige\ owing to it being on the
tail end of the. northern section
or I he telegraph line, pays twice
as much per word as any other
paper in Alaska, due to the fact
that the change in rates begin this
side of Fairbanks. The newspaper
needs you and the community
needs the newspaper, why not pull
together?
The future of Nome as a min
ing field looks better now than
for the past eight years, new Inter
est In mining has taken root with
the increase In price of gold, our
greatest progress will commence
with the opening of navigation, 1
