FEB 1st, LAST DAY TO FILE
Filings for the primary elec
tions to be held April 30th will
close February 1st. Filings may
,be made on February 1 and that
reaves only three more days, so
public-spirited citizens are urg
ed to get busy and get their nam
es on the dotted line.
Every two years party primar
ies are conducted in Alaska, be
tween the Republican and Dem
ocratic organizations. It is also
true that persons filing as in
dependent candidates must file
on or bef re February 1.
The purpose of the primaries is
to nominate party candidates
who will oppose each other in
the general elections held in the
fall of the year on even-number
ed years. The winners in the
general election then assume
their positions.
As a citizen of the United Stat
es, the people of thus country
have the right to file for public
office and the right to vote with
out coercion. It is the duty of
every qualified citizen to utilize
that right—a power which few
countries allow their citizens to
day.

Now just a few words to that
i young spriggins who dares chal
j ienge our predictions. Watch Harj
ris lift the Nome team and watch

the first half of the series it is
still Commercials, Hammons, Al
askans and Nome.
We have been t Id the Ham- \
j mon team has turned over their
former suits to the Nome team.
Nice going Hammons! Have you
ever noticed that a well-uniform J
ed team is very often a good
team? It takes more than clothes j
pf course, but a good uniform j
I doesn’t retard pep at all, and j
j from the spectator’s viewpoint, it
I is nicer to watch,
j You are going to see an entire
| ly different Nome team next Wed
I nesday. Those Commercials are
j going to have to step on it. Don’t j
jmiss it.
