GAMBELL
NEWS LETTER
By CLARENCE IRRIGOO
Fall, 1960
ESKIMO VOTERS
Not long after 1940 the Eski
mos on St. Lawrence Island were
permitted to vote for the first
time. Only few were aware that
two parties existed—Republicans
and Democrats. Shortly before
election day—these people were
told that the Republicans are no
good, and only the Democrats are
good. Everyone was told to vote
for the Democrats and all did ex
cept for a few, because the bal
lots for the Democratic party
were used up. Few remaining
voters had to use the Republican
ballots and the writer of this news
is one of them, and that is how
the Republicans in Gambell be
gan!
1960 voters in Gambell are dif
ferent. They are going to choose
for themselves men and women
they think will really carry on
the load our government faces.
And it is no time to vote for an
untrained man or woman in this
time of unsettled world condition.
Right thinking people of Am
erica is going to vote for Mr.
Nixon for President. But if Mr.
Kennedy wins, we will know and
learn now and always that major
ity of Americans are mentally
sick!
