Republicans - Independents - Democrats
Do not be misled by the ambiguous statements being made on behalf of one Democratic can
didate for office. Carefully consider the facts behind those advertisements, and recall many
things that this candidate either condoned or opposed while in a position of trust for the people
of Alaska.
When voting on November 25th, keep in mind these following things:
1. The Democratic party will attempt to make you believe that in the elections in other states
there was a wholesale defeat of Republican candidates because of their party affiliations.
THIS IS WRONG. The people in these areas chose to be represented by young, aggressive
candidates who are not tools of political machines. This change towards youthful and vigor
ous representation was made without regard for party affiliation.
2. No straight thinking man will oppose a program in government simply because a colleague
of his from another political party supports it. That is the action taken by those controlled by
pressure groups.
3. Alaskans have always been noted for their sincere effort in aiding themselves, and to be
honest and straight forward men of the future. As the future of our state and the nation must
be in the hands of youthful leaders with foresight, we should elect our representation on the
basis of this, and not vote for a party as the Democratic organization advocates.
4. The Republican candidates are men of youth, tempered with judgment and honesty. They
are men who can still strive for the best for the people and the state. They owe favors to no one
and will strongly support the wishes of all Alaskans. The Republican party supports all their
candidates on this basis and does not favor ONE candidate above all other candidates.
“THE ONLY BOSS OF THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES IS THE PEOPLE OF ALASKA”
Kim Clark, candidate for the
State Legislature, says:
“I feel that we can do the best job for the
most people for the longest period at the least
expense with legislation that has been considered
on its merit, rather than from the standpoint of
by whom or by which party it was introduced.
All candidates honestly and unselfishly inter
ested in the future of this greatest state should
believe in like manner.
If your confidence in my sincerity gets me to
this important first session, all proposed legisla
tion will be studied and voted on by me on its
merit.”

Stan Nelson, candidate for
the State Legislature, says:
“CONGRATULATIONS to all the candidates
from this area, regardless of party, who have come
forward to take part in building the future of
Alaska. Our forefathers worked hard to make the
United States the greatest nation on earth. Every
one can not hold back, someone must carry on.
Those elected to office must sacrifice time from
their home, business, friends, and also accept the
expense and hard work they must endure to fulfill
their public obligations. Undoubtedly it’s the pio
neer spirit that behooves them to carry on a gov
ernment of the people, by the people and for the
people. No one can satisfy everyone, so many will
ridicule the candidates. I believe congratulations
are in order to all_Win or lose.”
Jack Hinckei, candidate for
the State Senate, says:
It is not true that members of two different
parties cannot combine efforts for the same cause.
It was only through the combined vote of both
parties that we attained statehood.
The statement made that the vote of a member
of one party in the House or Senate will cancel
a vote of one of the other party is a slur at the
intelligence of the Alaskan voter.
Two parties are as important in our form of
government as are an upper and lower body in the i
Legislature. One acts as a check on the other.
When the time comes that we reach the ultimate, in
some people’s minds, by having elected a solid
ticket from one party we will no longer have a
Government of the people.
Select those to represent you that you con
sider most capable. Think before you vote. Do nod
be misled by false propaganda.
