ANCHORAGE MAN TO
START TEST SUIT
IN JUNEAU COURTS
ARTHUR FRAME INDICATES HE
WILL FIGHT MASS VOTING
OF S. E. ALASKA TRIBES
The legality of the Indian votes
cast in the Republican Primary elec
tion last week will be tested in the
local Federal District Court in the
near future according to authentic
information received in Juneau re
cently, says the Juneau Empire. This
information said that Arthur Frame,
Anchorage candidate for the Repub
lican National Committeeman, will
arrive here next week to institute
legal proceedings for the test.
It is understood that the Anchorage
man will leave Seward next Sunday
on the Northwestern for Juneau.
On his arrival here he will seek an
injunction to prevent the issuance
of a certificate of election to John W.
Frame, Ketchikan, as National Com
mitteeman, alleging that he was not
legally elected by reason of the fadt
that his majority is composed of votes
of Indians cast without legal author
ity.
Margin Is Close
The Ketchikan candidate had a lead
of 142 votes over his opponent, ac
cording to the incomplete returns as
received by the Empire. Only a few
votes in this division are unreported
while it is thought that between 500
and 750 are still to be returned in the
other three divisions.
It is estimated that between 700
and 800 Indian votes were cast in the
Republican primary in Southeastern
Alaska with John Frame receiving
a great preponderance of them. If
the test results in any material part
of the Indian vote being thrown out,
it is virtualy certain that the Anch
orage man will win out.
Change Other Results
A successful fight to upset the In
; dian vote would not only change the
i indicated results in the race for Nat
ional Committeeman but would prob
ably reverse the standings in several
instances in the race for nominations
to the Teritorial Legislature from this
Division and change the complexion
of the delegates to the Republican
National Convention, it was believed
| by local Republican leaders who have
| kept in close touch with returns as
i they have been reported.
It is believd that with the Indian
vote thrown out, J. H. Davies would
lead Forest J. Hunt by a small mar
1 gin, although this cannot be definitely
\ established until the final returns
; have been received. However, it is
certain that the three candidates on
the “literacy test” ticket for nomin
: ations to the lower House would
would have places on the ticket, as
it would wipe out the lead now held
by Paul, Hern, and Ferguson and leave
Shepard, Gurr and Ashley high men
; with Grant.
In the race for delegates to the
National Convention the loss of the
Indian vote would cost George Sex
ton, of Seward, his place on the list
giving it to R. E. Robertson, who is
not far behind Sexton. It would not
affect the election of Dr. L. P. Dawes
who has a majority large enough to
be unaffected by anything that might
happen to the Indian vote.
Eielson Will Land on
Sand Bar at McGrath
Lieut .Ben Eielson, who piloted his
airplane to McGrath and return Wed
nesday last, completing the seventh of
the ten test flights, has chosen a sand
bar for a landing place at McGrath.
He says the landing field which has
been considered by the McGrath peo
ple, and on which some preliminary
work had been done, was found to be
not suitable for his needs. He was un
able to examine the field over by Ta
kotna.
The sand bar was found to adequate
for saef landing and take-off. Only one
detrimental condition existed—that of
floods. The Kuskokwim and its tribu
taries are susceptible to flood either
from breakup or rain, and its is bare
ly possible that his next flight, which
is due to be made during the high
water stage, will be delayed as conse
quence.
Pilot Eielson reports that regardless
of a consignment of more than five
hundred pounds of mail and in addi
tion, repair parts and a propellor for
the plane ,a quick trip was made to
McGrath Wednesday morning.
