“Know Ye The Truth
And the Truth will make you free”
• The Anchorage Times, a Republican newspaper, published at
Anchorage, Alaska, in its issue of September 26, 1952, reporting 1|
the debate held at Wasilla, Alaska, the previous day between
Mr. Bob Reeve and Delegate Bartlett, stated in part:
“Delegate Bartlett was accused of representing the
Imperial Japanese government and the Russian govern
ment by his Republican opponent Bob Reeves, in last
night’s heralded debate.
“Reeve repeated his campaign statements on the Japa
nese stealing American salmon and the Russians exporting
furs to the United States.
“Bartlett pointed out that the Japanese treaty
• granted the Japanese fishing rights in waters west of the
175th meridian, that John Foster Dulles, the great Re
publican policy maker had drawn up the treaty, and not
one member of the United States Senate voted against it.
Furthermore, that official records showed there had been ‘
no violations of the treaty.”
We would like to remind the voters that there are 45 Repub- !
lican members in the United States Senate. Not one of whom voted
against the Japanese treaty which Mr. Reeve is so Violently at
tacking in all his sensational literature delivered to your doors and
published in the press. Are we to believe that Mr. Reeve is possessed
of superior qualifications in statesmanship in comparison with all
members of the United States Senate?
Wild, reckless, unfounded and unwarranted statements never f
won a debate and WILL NOT WIN THIS ELECTION !
RE-ELECT BOB BARTLETT

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK — OCT. 5 -12
Good Housekeeping Helps Prevent Fires
By proclamation of the President, the week of
October 5-12 has been designated Fire Prevention
Week.
In the past year Alaska has experienced a series ’
of disastrous fires which resulted in the loss of a num
ber of lives as well as hundreds of thousands of dollars
'n property damage.
The majority of all fires start in trash piles, rub
bish, or stored odds and ends that accumulate around
the house. Closets, attics, and cellars are the main
source of home fires, and plain ordinary good house
keeping is a strong line of defense against them.
With the coming of winter many fires will result
from faulty furnaces, stoves, and other heating plants.
Some are the result of too much soot in chimneys.
Others are caused by cracked pipes and fittings.
Fire Prevention Week is a reminder to take care
of these necessary items now before it is too late.
AN IKE-ADLAI DEBATE
Senator John J. Sparkman, the Democratic Party’s
nominee for vice-president, has suggested that the Re
publican vice-presidential nominee, Senator Richard
Nixon, of California, meet him in a debate of the issues
of the campaign. Senator Sparkman has also said
Senator Nixon would not meet him, although Senator
Nixon replied that he would meet the Alabama Senator
if a date could be arranged which did not conflict with
either’s schedule.
There has been some discussion, though no per
sonal challenge from the candidates, of a debate be
tween Governor Adlai Stevenson of Illinois and Gen
eral Dwight D. Eisenhower. There is little doubt that
the voting public would welcome such a meeting and
vhat the audience, television, radio and newspaper, of
such a debate, would be tremendous.
Traditionally, presidential candidates do not meet
in debate. For some reason, our campaigning system
calls for many speeches by the candidate but no debates
or public discussions between the two presidential
candidates. It will be remembered that Abraham Lin
coln rose to fame as a result of his debate with Stephen
Douglas.
