With the nassing of the old year
and the advent of the now, the po
litical gong is about to ring
throughout the Territory, announc
ing to its citizenry that the enic
struggle for nolitical sunr^macy
curing the next four years is at
hand.
Old war horses of both major
parties are about to fire the open
ing salvos, calling unon the frith
ful through conventions and nolit
Leal gatherings to rally to the
cause of the onrty.
Political onpononts of long
standing and candidates for various
forritorial offices are about to
bounce out of their corners nre
o am d to deliv.,i their best mental
nunches in the fast moving and in
tensive fight that vcill be waged
right un to the forthcoming prime-v
election next April.
Party oracles and orators have
already stenu^d into tTm arena and
are sending out thuir usual nrona
ganda consisting mostly of criti
cism, mainly destructive, and aimed
at the oth^r oarty, via radio, the
cross raid the lowly soan box. Some,
as usual, are relying uion the good
old handshake, the beaming smile,
and the same old promises.
xx considerable ■'•.mount of this
nrooagnnda will be devot,d to the
National noiitical scene, for while
the citizens of the Territory have
no Presidential vote, nevertheless
the ooliticians of the Territory
realize that as long as ..laska is a
Territory end subjected to th-., Bu
reaucratic rule from the rational
Caoitol, just so long is it incum
bent uocn the voters of ..lmskr to
elect .those candidates to office
who are in stc-n arid in accord with
the national .dministration.
It is therefore of primary im
portance to the nronaganda boys of
both narties to disseminate to the
voters large gobs of information
end misinfornotion deomidine unon
whore you sit, regarding thu Nrtion
al political :ims of both major nar
ties, the qualifications of their
candidates for high, office, and the
manner in which the social, monetary
financial, business and agricultural
structure of th_. country should bo
handled if our great nation is to
survive.
One of the major nolit real oar
il, s that suffered near oblivion at
the last general election is again
rearing; its somewhat battered clo
nhantine head, trumpeting a chal
