Republicans Elect
New Precinct Officers
Name Precinct Republicans met
at a dinner-meeting Tuesday eve
ning in the Seaview Room and
elected a precinct committeeman
and committeewoman and 15
delegates and 15 alternates to the
N.W. District Republican conven
tion to be held in Nome on
March 16.
Mrs. Wm. Cameron was chosen
committwoman and Clinton Gray
committeman for two year terms.
Myrtle Johnson and Wm. Cam
eron were the outgoing officers.
The guest speaker of the eve
ning was Dick Milner of the Fair
banks Young Republican organ
ization. Milner’s address was in
a Lincoln Day vein and he re
minded the group of many things
which Abraham Lincoln, the
great Republican President, said,
and which are still true today.
Quoting from Lincoln, Milner
said:
“You cannot bring about pros
perity by discouraging thrift. You
cannot strengthen the weak by
weakening the strong. You cannot
help the wage earner by pulling
down the wage payer. You can
not further the brotherhood of
man by encouraging class hatred.
You cannot establish sound secur
ity on borrowed money. You can
not keep out of trouble by spend
ing more than you earn. You can
not build character and courage
by taking a man’s initiative and
independence. You cannot help
men permanently by doing for
them what they could and should
do for themselves..” This, said
Milner is the Republican plat
form.
Milner returned to Fairbanks
today after holding several meet
ings with the Nome Young Re
publican Club.

He Saw His Shadow
Ground Hog Day is today and
he saw his shadow, which means
according to legend, that spring
will be late.
In autumn the Ground Hog, or
Woodchuck, puts on a layer of
fat, and goes to sleep. In Febru
ary in northern states of the
lower 48 he supposedly comes out
and looks about. If he sees his
shadow he retires for another
six week nap.
The temperature being as it is,
he probably didn’t take time to
look for his shadow this year,
so his nap may be long or short
up this way.
Harriet Brown, pastor of the
Assembly of God Church, who
was called suddenly to her home
because of the illness of her
mother, has written that she is
remaining for the time being with
her mother, who is in critical
j condition having suffered another
! stroke.
