THE LINEUP
On the Republican ticket for the
April Primaries we have some of the
old guard and some of the new, yet the
voter will have a hard time choosin his
man. One and all are good. Tf the vo
ter has Democratic Sympathies, he will
be in t' e same predicament.
There is little choice between the
Republican candidates for the governor
ship preference. Cash Cole is undoubt
edly popular fora man of his age, but
his age would seem to be a drawback.
If he were T> instead of 33 he would
be better fitted to take over the respon
sibilities of the high office of governor.
Valentine, on the other hand has the
experience which is lacked by his com
petitor.
The candidates for Attorney General
is another matter. Both Rustgard and
Coppernoll are able attorneys, and
there is little to choose between them,
one thing however, would seem to give
Coppernoll an advantage, and that is
the fact that however hard he may have
worked, Rustgard’s incumbency has
not been signalized by any brilliant suc
cess. The opponent, Coppernoll, will
proba bly receive the nomination and
f the nomination, the election.
The candidates for the Senate are
personally known to practically every
voter in this section, so friendshiD is
LET THE WOMEN
DO THE WORK
THIS TIME
Wives of members of the M c
Car thy Igloo of Pioneers have
interested themselves in the
matter of paying off Hie balance
of the mortgage on die Pioneer
hall. We have been i* quested to
announce that the aid of all the
ladies in town will be solicited
to give a dance on March 29. The
men claim that the dance they
gave last Friday was the acme
of social success. But say, that
isn’t a marker to what this will
be.
And the women are going to
do all the work. All that the men
need do is to come and enjoy
themselves. There will be two
floor managers to see that things
are kept moving. And there is
to be refreshments — punch for
the thirsty, at all hours, and it
midnight a free lunch of home
made sandwiches, cake and oof
tee.
Tickets will be on sale before
next Saturday, Mrs. Henry
Olsen having agreed to do her
best to separate every man in
to\\*n from the price of a ticket
entitling him to attend the best
dance of the year. So if there be
any man who hates himself too
much to have a good h *’d better
stay strictly to home until after
the *29.
It is understood that there re
mains blit a comparatively small
amount of the mortgage unpaid,
and with the cooperation of eve
ry one in this affair, it can be al
most settled. The ladies have hin
ted at some good old fashioned
doings, such as apron and neck
tie socials and box socials in the
future to help on much needed
repairs to the hail.
what will be the deciding factor with
most of the voters.
The Representatives are also out in
force. They are Joe Murray, of Me
Carthy, Edmund Olfin.Ben Grier and
•JeSsie Waller of Anchorage and R. E
Eisner, and l.H. Suptiellin of Cordova
