REASON FOR LIGHT
SOCIALIST IIOTE
Editor Cordova Daily Times: —
In a recent issue of your paper you
ask “What is the matter with the
Socialist vote?
We will admit that the expression
at the ballot box recently indicates re
trogression, however, such is not the
case.
A cursory investigation brings to
light that in many instances no bal
lots were displayed at the polls, al
though they were mailed in ample
time for the election. In some places
they were buried out of sight by “kind
friends” working for the opposition.
In some places' the tickets were re
ceived aftei -lection, by our represen
tatives, who indignatly ask for an ex
planation. This was the case at Su
shanna,, where our vote should have
4
been proportionately large.
In the Fairbanks district conditions
developed there much the same as
they do wherever our vote becomes
a serious factor. Everything, or near
ly everything, was done to break up
tt>“ movement, by many inside and
outside of it, and it is Bafe to assume
tl-M those who voted as they would
i Btrike, did so because they could not
In* induced to throw away their politi
cal power.
Respectfully,
R. E. HEGNER.
