While there is pood reason to be
lieve that a very large majority of
the voters of the Fourth division
are in favor of retaining Delegate
Dan Sutherland in his present posi
tion as representative of the Terri
tory at the national capitol, it oc
curs to The News that nGt all of
the delegate’s friends and support-.
crs appreciate the importance of
expressing their preference at the
primary election to be held through-!
out the Territory on Tuesday.
Were it up to the voters of the
Fourth division to say who is to
-foe the candidate of the Republican
party, there would be h uncer
tainty about the result, however
small the vote might be. But in thi.~
election there are other divisions to
reckon with—divisions in which the
supporters of other candidates are
campaigning very vigorously. There 1
are the cannery owners along the
coast, for example, who do not want
Delegate Sutherland to be nomin
ated because of his efforts to pro
tect the fishing industry against
ruthless exploitation: there are also
the transportation interests, who are
opposing him because of his son
demnation of the transportation
monopoly; and the Hazelett inter
ests and .Juneau rmgster? who will
defeat him if they can because he
dared to withhold his support from
Hazelett in the contest for the gov
ernorship. These combined forces,
which appear to have united to
secure the defeat of the present
delegate, represent a formidable foe
in those sections of the Territory
where votes are easily controlled,
end there may be need o; a large
Interior vote to put Delegate Suther
land safely in the lead.
The News Hoes not presume to
tell it? reader^ how they shall vote
at the election, but it is entirely
within the province of a newspaper
to remind voters of the importance
of going to the polls. Once there,
they Will use their own good judg
ment about voting. But it ton often
happen- that elections miscarry
through lack of interest on the par:
of those whose judgment is safest.
A majority vote, when all vote. i<
generally a safe vote.
