Here There Everywhere
The City election this year is go
ing to be hotly contested. Many
candidates who are not too well
known have entered the race. Elec
tors will have some kind of a
cooice this time, with nine names
fi'ad for the six seats. Leaflets are
being dropped by a plane, hand
hols and cards are being circulat
ed Babies are being kissed in an
eitort to get the mother’s vote.

However, one candidate had bet
ter brush up on distinguishing
gender. He was observed saying to
the mother, ‘he’s cute,” when the
baby in question was a girl. That’s
one way to lose votes!

Fortunately for one of the c::n
didates, who filed late Saturday,
the election ordinance is vague on
a specific closing time for filing.

The City Attorney and the City
Council agreed that in view of
that, his candidacy is O. K. ... Tim
Gilmore has changed his campaign
slogan from “Roar with Gilmore”
to “More with Gilmore.” VVe'yo got
a name for what we will get more
of from him.
The City Hall roof is gradually
being blown away, it was brought
out at the Council meeting Mon
day. A new roof is needed, but as
Councilwoman Vovacek brought
out, the building will need new
foundations to support the new
shingles.Anyway, the new
heating plant installed in the
building recently makes it a little
more congenial than usual. Was it
due to this, or was it because
the present Council will soon be
out of office, and the great weight
of civic affairs will be lifted off
their shoulders?
The locai candidates can take a
cue on campaign promises from
72 year old Ben Benson (not the
local Ben Benson) who calls him
self the King of Hoboes. He, is
running for President of the U.S.
His platform: “I'm for a four-hour
working day, a four day working
week, three months vacation with
pay, free employment offices and
$100 a month for everyone over
00.” Some of his qualifications: “I
Can read and write, ain't never
held a steady job in my life.”

Joe Snyder of the Gallatin (Mo.)
Democrat, gives an opinion that
could very well be taken to heart
by the new Council members. He
had a lot to say, but herewith is
quoted a paragraph: "One doesn’t
have to look far to see towns that
are dying, or a spot where towns
once stood.Any town of to
day, if it is to live, must possess
a moving spirit that will keep it
alive; that will specifically pro
mote and attract people from an
ever widening circle. It calls for
good stores with larger varieties of
merchandise;' merchants rather
than mere storekeepers. There
must have good schools, churches,
recreational facilities; accommoda
tions for those who might want to
take up residence
In line with this, it is a point to
keep in mind with regard to the
sales tax. Qur crying need is bet
ter roads and hasfcor facilities. We
can’t get them without money. The
City has no extra funds. The Sales
Tax will do the trick* It will be
regression to scuttle it now, as
sopje candidates are proposing.
Fortunately those feeling that way
are few. . ■...

card from Val Morrison, a former

Kodiak seems to be getting
more attention from Candidates
for. office, this year than ever be
fore. The Democrats finvaded the
town twenty-eight' strong, which is
the ’first iime a delegation of that
strength has sought the votes of
this island City: Not too long ago
we, had a group, though fewer in
number,' of Republicans, here for
a ^ew "days.

That may or not porlend^some-:
thing for the future. We think, it
does. The former Governor cf

great seaport town, but i*s import

other respects, as for instance a
Naval site, cattle-producing area
and mineral producing potential,
