CALLING THE SIGNALS
It’s Up To You ...
THIS HAS BEEN a lively campaign, hard fought
with courage and conviction. An active campaign
is a healthy sign for the start of a new State.
Because The Nugget is the only paper in North
western Alaska, it chooses to be non-partisan, and to
present the news of the campaigning of both parties
fairly. Both the Democratic Party and the Repub
lican Party have excellent candidates with experience,
a thorough knowledge of what problems lie ahead, and
the love of the land of their choice. It is unfortunate
that some will have to lose, because all leaders are
' needed in the formation of the new State of Alaska.
You have been aided in making your decisions by
leaders from the capitol of the nation, representing
both parties. The outcome of the election is up to you,
the voter. It is the privilege and the duty of every
citizen to cast his ballot on election day for the candi
dates of his choice.
No one can tell you how to vote — The decision
is up to you. It is important that you think the matter
over carefully, giving equal consideration to the merits
of each candidate and each platform. Then vote as
you see fit — but VOTE ! When the final count is in,
majority will rule, and we, in the true American tra
dition, will abide by that decision.
Americans have fought battles through the years
to preserve this democratic way of life — Now let’s
vote for it.

VOTE AND PRAY...
By GEORGE GOSHAW, Alaskan
TTHIS STORY, little known,
about the Constitutional Con
vention, should be of interest to
the voters of Alaska, as the first
State election nears:
I quote:
“After the Constitutional Con
vention meeting in Philadelphia
in 1787 had debated for five long
weeks, Benjamin Franklin arose
and addressed the meeting and
said: ‘In this situation of the as
sembly meeting, groping, as it
were, in the dark, to find poli
tical truth, and scare able to dis
tinguish it when presented to us,
how has it happened, Sir, that we
have not hitherto once thought
of humibly applying to the Father
of Lights to illuminate our under
standing?. We have been assured
Sir, in the sacred Writings that
Except the Lord build the house,
they labour in vain that build it.’
“Thereupon Franklin offered
this motion: ‘That thereafter
prayers imploring the assistance
of Heaven and its blessings on our
deliberations, be held in this as
sembly every morning before we
proceed to business; and that one
or more of the clergy of this city
be requested to officiate in that
service.’ The motion carried and
passed, and from that day for
ward, unity prevailed, and in Sep
tember of 1787, they brought forth
The Constitution of The United
States.”
Now in this month of Novem
ber, voters are to elect a Gover
nor, two Senators, one Represen
tative to office in Congress, along
with new State Senators and Rep
resentatives to the First State
Legislature, so this writer, George
R. Goshaw, Alaskan since 1902,
in addition to the foregoing, ad
vises all Alaskan Voters: “To Vote
and Pray for Guidance as You
Now on Election Day Select Your
Representatives and Senators.”
Read Psalm .127:1, and there
upon be guided: “Except the Lord
Build the House, They Labor in
Vain.”
Now is the time to build well
as you .launch the new North Star
State of Alaska. Vote and Pray!
The Ballot box and the Church
are the symbols of privilege and
duty in a free society. At the
Polls you are the Ruler. In the
Church you are ruled. By your
vote you exercise the freedom
which the glorious Gospel of the
Church has placed in your hands.
.Th^re would never have been a
ballot box, had there not been the
Christian Church. Only in the
Gospel of Jesus Christ, has man,
regardless of station or rank, the
same high stamp of worth as all
his fellows. There is no aristocra
cy in the pew, and there is no
royalty at the polls. In all the
history of mankind, there has
never been a significant . people
or year where freedom and human
rights have been accorded all
.men except Where the explosive
message of Jesus Christ has been
heard and taken seriously.
To cherish and preserve the
priceless gifts of civil liberties,
we have them articulated in all
'.he great documents of our land,
we will need to do two things.
First, we must exercise our vote
soberly with concern for more
than partisan interest. Secondly,
we must pray — we must pray
that our leaders be given wisdom
and strength from God; we must
pray that we, as citizens, may sup
ror them in all that establishes
righteousness and mercy for all
men; we must pray that we be
given such discernment and self
lessness that we will work cease
lessly in the affairs of our com
munity, our Alaska, our Nation,
and the World. To Da the Will
of God. And in doing so, this
writer states that you will be
doing a great service to yourself
and to your children, that now is
the time to build well the State
! foundation that will live ever
! more under His guidance.

i No Bible In Cornerstone
NEW YORK, UR — No Bible will
be placed in the cornerstone of
■ the new church house of the First
j Presbyterian Chtirch of New York
Sunday because parishioners feel
the Bible should be read and
studied, not buried.
The Rev. Dr. John O. Mellin,
the minister, said that “We see
no magical or good luck symbol
i in the Word of God as contained
I in the Scriptures, so we are not
| in eluding a Bible as is usually
done in such cases.”
