HERBERT HOOVER ASSAILS
ROOSEVELT POLICIES IH
SATURDAY EVEHIHG POST
t By The Associated Press)
FHILADBUPHI'A, Sept. 11, Con
tinuing his broad attack on tlie ad
ministration’s policies. Herbert
Hoover in the current issue of the
Saturday Evening Post. declares
that some of Roosevelt measures
“emulate parts” of the fascist, -so
cialist and communist systems of
government.
He said: “It’s obvious that many
■of these measures represent not re
form cjr relief within the boun
daries of liberty, but that they
are emulating parts of these oth
er systems,' with the hope of speed
ing recovery from the depression.
Tlie former President of tliP I n- I
ited States wrote in his first article ;
,
for the Post, several points to •
which he objected in the demo- I
cratic program. In that artide lie
did not mention any names. Hew
er in his second article he refers
to “examples of national regimenta
tion which we have examined”, and
find that they are described as a
delegation of legislative and judi
< '
I
rial functions to the executive arm
of thp federal government."

The General Election which is
taking place all over the Terri
tory of Alaska today, seems to be
drawing a good measure of sup
port from the Voters of the Nome
Iprecinct. Up to noon today only
about one hundred and twenty
flye votes had been cast, but up
to the time of going to press this
afternoon at 5:30 p.m. the number
of ballot cast was 370.
The Election Board consists of
three judges and two clerks. The
judges are Henry Hamnon H, E.
Moon, and Jack Starr. The clerks
are Oscar Lay and L. L. Malianey..
A particular feature of this
year's election, is the continuance
of the rotating ballot, whereby
the ballot is arranged 'alphabetic
ally and every so many numbers
the man at the top is placed at
the bottom and the second in
Una is at the head of the ballot.
This was evidently Intended to do
away with the alleged system of
voting by stencil In some local
ities this system was probably
practiced, although it’s results were
said to be far from being success
ful. However, the rotating sys
tem of the ballot has provided
much interest and it prevents any
system of interferrlng with the
free practice of the Australian
Ballot.

Considerable activity is appar
ent about the streets of the city
over the election. Various auto
mobiles have been around to the
homes throughout town and even
I
into the country, bringing voters
into the polls. As a whole the
community, and we believe, the
entire section, is alive to the inter
ests of electing to office, repre
sentatives of the people who will
go to Juneau to help form legis
lation for the development of the
Territory.
Their vote means a great repre
sentation of the will of the people.
As has been mentioned before, the
prime necessity of casting a large
vote revolves 'back to the old
system of finding out who is really
to benefit from changes of legis
lation. Why not demonstrate
that the entire division is well
worth measures of development of
all kinds?
Politically, the battle for this
election haa been very been up to
date. The two parties, republican
and democratic, have engaged In
various acta of promotion for their,
ideals They have made their
points through the advertising of
their platforms and tickets and
are now awaiting the returns to
see the results. The Individual
candidates have exercised them
selves to the extent of making pri
vate appeals to the voters of the
Second Division and are now wait
ing for the polls to close and the
count to commence.
The polls are to close at seven
pm. tonight, In Nome, and soon
after, the count will probably com
menoe. Due to the rotary system
of the ballot, the count may be
