PRE-CAMPAIGN POLITICAL LOPE. !
( The following views are the opin-:
ion.of the writer and in no way
can the writer claim to represent j
the views of any one else or the
Matr.nuskn Valley Farmers Co-op, or :
its officials.)
As some of the Valley citizens do
not have a chance to attend meetingf
get other information regarding the>
political situation, the writer i
thinks that it should be interest- ,
ing to present some of .the news
thrt might be of interest to them
nd will from time to time give,
hat we believe to be true state
ments of the political situation.
In Palmer the local Democratic
Club was reorginized recently and
some of our local Politicos seem to
be warming up for some kind of a
campaign, in talking with one of
the prominent Democrats wo learn
that there may be a split in the
Democratic forces this year. As the;
result of the action of the Deleg
ate to the Democratic National
I
Convention four years ago, when the
Alaska vote was cast for Jim Farley
for president» and appearently
against the wishes of most of the
Democrats of Alaska, it appears that
some of our Third Division Democrats
are determined to see that this dosent
happen next year.
It seems that this is a somewhat
large issue for Alaska Democrats to
be concerned about, to the writer,
when so many other important issues
are crowding themslves upon the scene.
And mnbe this is just a camaflouge
to screen 3ome other issues that the
parties interested, do not care to
bring out in the open.
The Mike Haas- Walter Sharpe fued
is still smoldering and it would be
most unfortunate if this contest wqsj
fo\ight over again. And anyway Sharpe
was elected to the office that he was
trying to get and Mike Haas got a
good plum for carrying tho banner for
his backers, who had enough influence
with the higher-ups to land the job,
that he got, for him.
Continued in later issue.
