Here There
Everywhere
Once more we note with pride
the human race_the voters did
not rise to the bait of the rabble
rousers dished up in the hysteri
cal blurp that greeted them earlier
this week in the mails. The public
opinion poll was gratifying “in that
it was not overwhelmingly one way
or the other—the Grey Nuns,
hotvev;rr did get a good yrte.
*****
The race for mayor /too, was
close, but the incumbent received
sufficient of a majority to gain the
impression that he has the people
back of him. The new Council has
a good balance of old and new
members. We will, however, miss
Ole Johnson, who has ridden the
storms of municipal politics for
the past two years. He should be
publicly thanked for a well-done
job, and for his interest in the
affairs of the community.
*****
Congratulations are in order to
the voters who turned out in un
precedented large numters.__nc
doubt brought out to a great extent
by the controversial hospital ques
ton. Maybe that’s what we need
more controversial issues. Voting
throughout the territory in tb3
municipal elections was heavier
than usual this year. Sitka had a
40 percent increase in voting this
year. “Molly” MacSpadden was re
turned as mayor of Juneau, in a
'three-way face, which he won over
a lady, Mrs. Moody. “Molly” by the
way, is not a woman. Joseph Gop
-,infc-was re-electod Mayor ofKetcb
ikan. And Anton Anderson was
given the nod in Anchorage.

we wish that some of them, at

bigger and J&jtter bombs and con
