THAT A HOUSE DIVIDED
against itself must fall is axio
matic but a foregone conclu
sion. Consequently the rumored
breach in the Republican party
in Alaska, vvhicli was tacitly ig
nored during the last election
but which seems about to split
wide open again, is a condition
to receive serious and immedi
ate consideration by all party
members, both old and new.
Four years ago the split be
tween the A1 White faction and
the rest of the party identified
as the "Mt. McKinley Republi
cans'' was so wide that it lost the
election. Since that time heroic
efforts on both sides to heal or
at least ignore the breach ended
in overwhelming victory last
October.
It is known now that a defi
nite move is afoot among cer
tain individuals to recognize
White again through his appoint
ment to the position of Collector
of Customs in Juneau. Where the
move started has not been ex
plained, but it possibly comes
from the same few Alaskans

who offered White's name as
candidate for Governor early in
the campaign for that office.
One finds it hard to believe
that Herald Stringer. Third Di
vision chairman, who attended
the National Committee meeting
in Washington last month, would
deliberately risk political suicide
by recommending A1 White for
the customs job, or any other
job, in the face of the violent
storm he knew would break at
such a move. He did, however,
carry proxies from Robert Mc
Kenna and Mrs. A1 White, Na
tional Committeeman and Com
mitteewoman for Alaska.
The appointment of White
would inevitably reopen the seri
ous breach in party unity and
lend credence to the smug pre
dictions of Alaska Democrats
that they will again be in the
saddle after the next biennial
election. Their policy of divide
and conquer seems to be work
ing, and far ahead of schedule.
As early as December 19 last
year, Seward Republicans, which
by the way, are a group of no
inconsiderable strength and
number, endorsed Walter E
Heisel for the customs job.
Heiscl is a veteran career man
with 30 years experience in
Alaska; a Republican who, like
Governor Hcintzleman. held to
his party principles even though
working under the long Demo
crat regime.
The Seward group has not
seen eye to eye with Anchorage
Republicans in all things, but
they did stand solidly behind all
efforts to break A1 White’s
strangle hold on the party. Their
endorsement of Heisel was one
of several clubs and precincts in
the Third Division, and the feel
ing here is that Mr. Stringer w'as
delinquent in not presenting
Heisel’s name as the choice of
at least part of the Division at
the Alaska Central Committee
meeting.
What, if anything, can be done
to stop the appointment of White
at this late date is problematical.
The cloak of secrecy thrown
around doings of the Central
Committee is responsible in part
for making the appointment pos
sible. Leonard J. Hall, Chairman
of the National Republican Com
mit’.ce, is ignorant of the situa
tion in the Territory and is de
pendent solely upon recommend
r‘V:is made here and by the
Alaskan committeemen for his
own recommendations in chain
of command.
Local party members and lead
ers are bitter about this attempt
to reinstate A1 White in a Terri
torial job. thus reopening the
party breach supposedly closed.
The story may be just a rumor,
'but it is assumed that so much
smoke must be rising from real
fire.
