GREAT INTEREST IS
MANIFEST IN STATES
ELECTIONS TUESDAY
Tuesday, (tomorrow), elections
•will be held in six major states to ^
••elect Senators, Representatives
and governors. Politicians of
tevery hue and leaders of the two
major parties have been busy for ;
the past month praising and de
crying one another to the elector
ate.
According to wires received to,
day from the Associated Press,
leaders of the Democratic and j
Republican parties will make
big efforts to get out a big record
vote tomorrow—fifty four mil
lion voters have registered and it
is hoped to vote forty four mil
lion persons.
The Nome Nugget has wired
the Asociated Press for extra
Service in order that we in
Northwestern Alaska may be
kept posted intelligently on the
election results during the entire
week, beginning today.
General summaries of the situa
tion will be printed as well as
the gains and losses of the New
Deal, if any; general leads and
names of winning senators, rep
resentatives and governors as1
well as other election data will j
also be printed in The Nugget.
It is to be hoped that the gen- j
oral public will show their ap-(
preciation of the efforts of the|
Nugget to furnish this little com
munity with a high class service,
by either subscribing or buying
extra papers, instead of borrow
ing the regular subscribers pa
per because it is only through co
operation of the many that it will
be possible to incur this type of
extra expense of telegraph tolls.
