Hearty Applause Sparks
Grand Old Party Leaders
At Nome Weekend Rally
A sizeable crowd attended the
Republican rally Saturday eve
ning at the High School Gym
where the public was given the
opportunity to talk with the GOP
candidates in tomorrow’s primary
election.
In addition to the local candi
dates, Mrs. Edith Bullock of Kot
zebue and Sen. John Coghill of
Nenana were there. Sen. Coghill
was the featured speaker. He is
unopposed for re-election to the
Senate in his district. Mrs. . Bul
lock is one of the GOP candi
dates for state senator from Dis
trict M.
Coghill was interrupted by ap
plause several times during his
talk. He said the Republican
party looks to the future in its
legislative program with an aim
for a balanced state economy and
the government doing only those
things that the individual cannot
do for himself.
He called attention to the fact
that 1960 marks 100 years of
the Republican party founded by
Abraham Lincoln who set forth
three requirements of government:
that it be honest; that it have
integrity, and that it be humble.
Mrs. Bullock noted a growing
tendency of the large population
centers to dominate the state leg
islature and that it was for this
reason she is running for state
office— to provide representation
for the outlying areas.
After a film “Flying Dentist”
by Dr. Lee McKinley, Republi
can candidate for nomination as
U.S. Senator, refreshments were
served and the candidates were
interviewed by the public.
