opinions and opines to let a few
of them loose before the elec
tion—regardless sof whose toe
and corns get in the way. If
the shoe pinches, get a new pair
or go bare footed.

Gub Endorses Federal
Hatchery
-o
The Club endorsed a motion
asking Congress to place in Alas
ka the contemplated fish hatch
ery In Seattle with shipways at
a cost of $150,000. That Alas
ka is the logical place for it as
it has the fish, the spawning
areas and produces 80 per cent
of the world’s supply of canned
salmon at a value of more than
70 million dollars. The Club asks
other Clubs to endorse this move
to bring to Alaska this plant
which is a direct part of the
fisheries industriy of the Terri
tory.
OPPOSITION TICKET TO BE IN
FIELD
Rumors of an opposition ticket
being put against the caucus
nominees are growing louder.
It is said Mayor Swanson will
not run for re-election but may
file for council. Jack Hanseth of
the old council is said has agreed
to qualify while Knute Stenslid

the idea of qualifying for re
election; Louis F. Paul is said
to have his political ears to the
ground and tail up in the air
ready for a round on election
day as councilman; certain fac
tions are trying to groom Ed.
Locken for mayor while many
voters are urging Earl Ohmer to,
get on the mayor’s political
bronhco and ride it hell-for
leather.
Time for filing and qualifying
ends the 16th.
