Unusual Interest Shown in Next
Tuesday’s Election With Many
Candidates Running for Office
Election Day, next Tuesday,^
April 27, draws near with the
voters having a wide choice of
candidates from which to choose.
For Delegate to Congress on
the Democratic ticket, Bob Bart
lett, who has had a wide follow
ing all over the territory, and
who has served six consecutive
terms, is opposed by Neil Moore,
at present territorial treasurer
and well known to Alaskans.
Republicans seeking nomina
tion for the office of delegate are
Barbara Dimock of Anchorage
and Ray Beach of Juneau. Mrs.
Dimock visited Nome last month
and made many friends here.
Beach is secretary of the Repub
lican Central Committee.
In the balloting for national
committeeman and committee
woman of the two parties, only
those voters who declare their
party affiliation will be issued
the special ballots for this part
of the election. Those voters who
are “no party” will not participate
in this part of the election. If you
are a Republican you will get a
special ballot with the names of
Walter Hickel of Anchorage and
W. L. Lhamon of Fairbanks for
committeeman and Doris Barnes
of Ketchikan for committee
woman. If you are a Democrat
you will get a ballot with the
names of Raymond Plummer and
Katherine Nordale.
All voters, with or without
party affiliation designation, can
participate in the rest of the elec
tion.

Ketchikan. H. J. Lannen, Demo
crat of Cordova, is unopposed.
In our own division, th^re are
seven candidates for the Senate,

nominated. Republicans are: W.
