Primary Election Tomorrow
HAS FOR THE FIRST TIME two polling places for
the primary election being held tomorrow which will narrow
the field for each office in the general election held in November.
There has been no lack of interested Alaskans seeking office
and candidates are for the most part men of high standards, both
young and experienced, who seek to be leaders in the big State
of Alaska.
All are sincere in their belief that their platform is for the
good of the State.
You are not urged to vote for anv one person or either party,
you are urged to study the campaign material and select whom
you think is best for the development of Alaska. If you don’t vote
in this election then you should lose the right to complain when
you think the elected officials are not handling the affairs of the
state the way you think they should. Everybody is not qualified
to be a leader, but everyone is qualified to vote, and remember
to vote on OSE SIDE of your ballot only, or you will have wasted
your time and your \ote.

Quiet Election . . .
(Continued From Pago One'
bid from former Anchorage Mayor
George R.ver in Egan's fight for
a second four-year term.
P>ycr. who is claiming the sup
port of a large segment of labor,
is extremely popular in the vote
heavy Anchorage area. He pulled
in a surprisingly 25 per cent of
the vote as a write-in candidate
in Anchorage's last mayoralty elec
tion.
Also in tlu> fight for the Demo
cratic nomination are Warren A.
Taylor, the veteran Speaker of
the State House of Representatives,
and David Newton Bover, an An
chor Point homesteader.
In the battle for the Repub
lican gubernatorial nomination are
former territorial governor Mike
Stepovieh of Fairbanks; State Sens.
John B. Coghill of Nenana and
Howard W. Rollick of Anchorage;
Dr. Milo Fritz of Anchorage; and
Anchorage attorney Verne Martin.
Martin has been campaigning
hard ever since last November. Po
litical observers will be watching
his vote totals closely, because of
his call for right-to-work legisla
tion in Alaska, a subject shunned
by the other gubernatorial candi
dates.
U.S. Sen. Ernest Gruening has
primary opposition on the Demo
cratic side from Robert L. Veach,
an Anchorage school teacher. Bat
tling for the Republican nomina
tion are Anchorage attorney Ted
Stevens and Frank Cook, an An
chorage accountant.
Lowell Thomas Jr., Anchorage
photographer and lecturer, and
Henry S. Pratt, Anchorage insur
ance man and member of the State
House of Representatives, both seek
the GOP nomination for the U.S.
House of Representatives.
The incumbent, Democrat Ralph
J. Rivers, is unopposed in the pri
mary.
Wade is the lone Democratic
candidate for Secretary of State.
There are two Republican candi
dates, Jack T. Gilliland, an An
chorage building consultant, and
Robert A. Ross, an Anchorage real
estate broker.
Until the early 1900s, city di
rectories in New York City listed
widows as such. Some bereft
ladies, willing to try a second
marriage, wouldn’t mind seeing
the practice resumed. It pays to
advertise.

men, we have inadvertently land
ed at the Troutdale field by mis
take.”

which is used by light aircraft,
is only 4,(141 feet long. The big
plane, enroute from Chicago to
Seattle, was supposed to have
landed 10 miles west on Interna
tional Airports 8,800-foot runway.
A United Airlines spokesman
said the pilot, Capt. S. R. Whipple
of Chicago, apparently got the air
ports mixed up.
Eight hours later, a United crew
flew the empty plane off the short
runway.
