THE LITTLE MAN
WHO WASN’T THERE
FAIRBANKS. Ocl. 26 — The
"little man who isn't there"
charge made by Congressman
Ralph J. Rivers' opponent in the
November 8th election has back
fired, Henry J. Camarot, cam
paign manager here for the
Democratic party, asserted today.
The Democratic manager point
ed to the record of Rivers' ser
vice during his first term in Con
gress as having been of the most
successful of any "freshman" in
congressional history.
"Not only did Rivers vote on
every important national bill com
ing before the House of Repre
sentatives—he didn't miss a single
vole and rolled up a 100 per cent
progressive record—but in addi
tion he was solely responsible for
having the House pass 21 special
Alaska bills," Camarot said. "This
is a record as amazing as it is
constructive."
Camarot called attention to a
front page newspaper article last
Saturday quoting Rivers' oppo
nent at length in his contention
that Rivers is "the man who
isn't there."
According to the Democratic
manager "there was no way to
tell by reading the article that
Ralph's opponent was there and
not here. Most of us who read it
thought the statement was made
right here in Fairbanks. It wasn't
— because the Republican candi
date wasn't here. That was a
"canned" article sent out while
the Republican candidate was still
in Anchorage. He still is. Ralph
Rivers is here, meeting his con
stituents.
Earlier this week, Camarot
added, there were "two little men
who wasn't here." Rivers' op
ponent and the Republican candi
date for the U.S. Senate seat now
held by Bob Bartlett, had agreed
to appear with the Democratic
candidates on a "Meet the Press"
program on Fairbanks radio Ra
tion KFRB Sunday. "Rivers came
here to meet his commitment,"
Camarot said. "Bartlett came
here to meet his commitment."
"Where," asked the Democratic
manager, "was Rivers' oppon
ent? In Anchorage. Where was
Bartlett's opponent? In Ketchi
kan. When they had an oppor
tunity to meet the Democratic
candidates face-to-face, they sim
ply didn't show."
"And where was the Republi
can Senate candidate Monday
night, October 24? Who knows?
One place he wasn't was the Uni
ersity of Alaska where he was to
speak with Senator Bartlett on
the United Nations. He had ac
cepted. He was expected. But he
wasn't there. And Rivers' oppon
ent was an invited guest. He
wasn't there either."
Camarot asserted the failure of
tht Republican candidates to ap
pear for either the radio program
or the University function gives
"clear and evident proof" that the
"little man who isn't there" slo
gan "can now be tagged onto the
Republican candidates."
