Fairbanks Runoff
FAIRBANKS W — Docs your
vote count? You're darned right
it docs!
And it has never been proven
s well as in Tuesday’s run-off
election for a seat on the Fair
banks City Council.
As things stand now, Howard
Alexander, car dealer, has 497
votes. Stanley Sailors, assistant
school principal, lias 496 votes,
and Fidel Castro, Cuban dictator,
has one vote.
Wednesday it appeared that
Alexander had won the race for
Seat D by 17 votes. Later checks !
showed he had a three vote mar- i
gin, and still later cheeks revealed ]
he only led by one vote.
One vote would be enough if
he had a majority, but the write
in vote for Castro threw that out
of balance. If the write-in vote
is allowed, the city will have to
hold a second run-off campaign.
Sailors and Alexander were the
survivors of a five candidate race
in the Oct. 2 election, and faced
each other in the run-off Tues
clay.
City attorney Barry Jackson
said hi- would rather not talk
about the problem at this time. He
can't be blamed.
City Clerk Wallis Droz left for
New York City, and he can’t be
blamed either.
Both men. alom; with acting
city manager Robert Crow, Mayor
Darrell Browington. five seat’d
Council members and the candi
dates, will be hearing a lot more
about the present situation for
some time to come.
However Jackson did say that
there are two things that can be
done immediately. One is for the
council to seat Alexander. The
other is to call for a new elec
tion.
However, he; warned that either
decision can be appealed in court,
because the city election code does
not seem to completely cover such
a situation.
He added that either of the can
didate’s can also call for a re
count, at which time it may be
found that the vote count is all off
anyway, and there may be nothing
to the present situation.
The question of the vote for
Castro revolves around the intent
of the voter that cast the write
in. If the vote is taken as a pro
test again both Alexander and
Sailors, then chances are it may
not be allowed. If it is interpret
ed as a “wise-guy” action, then
it may be thrown out.
There were 2,984 voters regis
tered and eligible to cast their
ballot in Tuesday’s election. About
one-third of them did.
Had one more person gone to
the polls, the situation wouldn’t
exist.
Howard Crinklaw. manager of
the Nome Power & Light, who has
been on vacation for the past two
months, returned home after ex
tensive traveling in the lower 48,
accompanied by his wife.

SITKA UP> — Gov. Win. Egan
said Thursday a promise made b>
Mike Stopnvich to help the Tlingit j

votes.”
Stepovich had mad< the j p-a • '
during a speech before the 50th
Annual Convention of the Alaska
Native Brotherhood and Sisterhood
here Wednesday.
Speaking before the native or
ganizations Thursday, Egan said i
the promise made by Stepovich I
“cannot possibly be fulfilled by j
any elected governor.”
E tan said the U S. Court of |
Claims, jn ruling that the Tib g '

pensation for the loss of trr
lands in Southeast Alaska. ah
ordered that the dollar amoimt .,
loss be determined in furthi.

interested in th< Tlingit and
