Twelve Hours of Free Choice
WE THE PEOPLE OF ALASKA, who clamored for
statehood and had the courage to keep trying
until full citizenship was achieved, are needed at the
polls tomorrow.
Every eligible voter should turn out at the pri
mary election and make a thoughtful and careful
choice of the candidates who will be in the General
Election to state and federal offices in November.
One of the reasons we worked for statehood was
so that we would have the right to send elected sen
ators and representatives to Washington, D.C.
Issues are vital; there is need for men and women
of the right caliber to serve in the legislative halls.
The population of northern Alaska is small and most
people know the candidates personally so there is no
excuse for not electing good substantial citizens to
represent us.
Voting 'is a serious matter and an obligation that
should not be taken lightly. Maybe if those who do
not vote were deprived of the privilege they would
realize the importance of voting.
A government is no better than the men and
women whom the people select to represent them.
If you are 19 years of age, have been in Alaska
for one year and in the precinct for 30 days, and are a
citizen, you are eligible to vote.
The polls are open from 8 a. rn. until 8 p. m.
Remember that you can vote only on one side of the
ballot. If you make a choice on either side of the
ballot, all your other choices must be on the same
side.
We’ll see you at the City Hall tomorrow!

Nixon Carries Ball
For Civil Bights
SEATTLE, UP — The prestige
of the Presidency should be
brought to bear to help alleviate
civil rights contorversies, said
Vice President Nixon Friday
night.
The Vice President, arriving
back on the mainland after a
torrid two days of campaigning
in the Hawaiian Islands, said he
would take the initiative in civil
rights matters if elected Presi
dent.
“I don’t think it is enough
simply to say that he will get
Congress to pass civl rights laws
and then let them lie there,” he
said.
Nixon said Atty. Gen. William
P Rogers has been meeting with
executives of chain stores whose
outlets in the South have been the
scene of sit-in demonstrations
by Negroes.
This, he said, was an attempt
to “take the initiative in such
matters — to solve the problem
before it goes through” years of
legal process.
Nixon said that not only would
he, as President, take the ini
tiative in civil rights matters, but
“I would urge my cabinet to take
the initiative in cases of this type
to develop solutions.”
His press conference climaxed
a hectic 2Vfe-hour stopover in
Seattle that orignally was sched
uled to last only an hour and a
half. A crowd estimated at 7,500
took part in welcoming cere
monies at the Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport.

the dropping of the atomic bomb
on Hiroshima with pleas for
banning nuclear weapons.
