TWO NOMINEES
IN THE FIELD
FOR DELEGATE
Announcement is made that the
Alaska Labor Union of Ketchikan hat
nominated a candidate for delegate tc
congress and that it will ask his en
dorsement by the other locals of the
North. In this, the unions are entirelj
within their rights. The candidacj
of this man whom the unions put ui
should be viewed with the same con
sideration and scutiny, and weighee
by the same standards as that of met
nominated through other agencies—
no more and no less.
With two candidates in the field foi
the delegateship everyone should turi
out on election day to express his oi
her choice. If neither of the candi
dates nominated suits the voters o:
the territory, they should proceed ai
once to make further nominations
But when election day comes, everj
voter should do his duty and cast t
vote for him whom he considers th<
most desirable of the candidate:
whose names will appear on the
ballot.
And in voting, citizens should taki
into consideration not only the per
sonal qualifications of the candidates
but also what they represent, ant
what they would be likely to do fo:
the whole territory if elected.
No candidacy or election is to bi
taken lightly, for there is much tha
Alaska will ask or should ask thi
federal government to do for it dui
ing the next two years, and the wholi
situation should be studied with can
from now until June 3, that the ter
ritory may be well represented in thi
sixty-sixth congress.
