MANY CANDIDATES
SPEAK AT VALLEY
REPUBLICAN RALLY
A litre*' crowd Kithmd at the
Republican rally held at the
Grange Hall Monday night under
the auspices of the Women's Re
publican Club of the Matanuska
Valley and the chairmanship of
the club’s president. Mrs. Don
Irwin.
Besides listening to the guest
speaker. Anchorage Attorney
Herald Stringer, those present
heard short campaign speeches by
the Third Division Republican
candidates for nomination to the
Territorial House of Representa
tives Carl T. Rentsehler, Barbara
Dimock, Dorothy Prior, M. D.
Snodgrass. Axel Niklason. Bert C. |
Rutherford, Reese Tatro, Dr Lee
McKinley, and L. C. Stock.
While a large share of the
speakers cited the Democratic
regime for inflation, unrestrained j
government spending, and social-!
ism, the guest speaker, who is [
also a candidate for the House. |
based his speech on Republican
party principles and objectives.
Briefly he traced the history of
the Republican party from its
early beginnings in Rippon. Wis
consin, and Jackson, Michigan, in
1854 up to the year 1933. when
the Democrats took over at the
White House. During that early
period, Stringer said, the Repub
licans were in charge of our
country’s progress for about three
fourths of the years between
1861 and 1933. This period coin
cided with the great growth and
expansion of the nation, a growth
made possible through the Re
publican faith in private enter
prise.
Rather than damn the Demo
crats for what they did after
1933, Stringer chose to
point to the record of the minor
ity Republican party. In essence,
his recital of the legislation suc
cessfully sponsored or opposed by
the Republicans through the year
1946 was a testimonial to the ef
fectiveness of the two-party sys- .
tern of the United States—the :
power of a defeated minority
party to act as a check and a
balance to the all-out enthusiasm ;
of the majority party, the politi- ;
cal conscience that keeps the ;
pendulum from swinging too |
close to the edge of its arc. ]
The criterion which should be ]
foremost in the mind of a Repub
lican when he considers an issue,
Stringer said, is his answer to j
the question: Does this conduct ;
enlarge human liberty or individ- ;
ual dignity? :

eord circuits are so limited that
service will he poor unless every
one co-operates.
Only four cord circuits are
operative now. Sands said That
means that only four conversa
tions can go on at one time. If
the th$ee long distance trunks are
in use, only one of the cords is
available for local calls. Sands
explained that the basic fault
limiting the number of cords is
in the switchboard. This cannot
be remedied without a large ex
penditure. which is prohibitive in
view of the imminent availabilty
of a new two-position board.
The $10 monthly lease for the
new switchboard, obtained from
the city of Anchorage, was signed
only last night by the City Coun
cil. It is hoped that Anchorage
will start on the renovation very
soon so that the board will be put
