New Interest Has Been
Added to Mayor’s Race
A new note of interest has been
injected into this year’s race for
mayor with the announcement
by a local group, headed by Mrs.
Lucille Gilbert, that Conrad Pot
ter, local superintendent of
schools has expressed his willing
ness to serve as mayor if elected
by a write-in campaign to be con
ducted between now and election
day.
Potter reiterated this willing
ness this morning when he stated,
“if the voting public of the city
thinks that I can be of service
to the community I will be more
than happy to serve. I cannot be
a regular candidate and, there
fore, cannot campaign with an
expression of any particular plat
form. I will, if elected, bring to
the position an open mind and a
willingness to research the prob- j
lems confronting our community.
My training is in Political |
Science and most of my experi
ence is in administration. I would
hope that these two factors along
with my interest and willingness
to serve would make for a suc
cessful and meaningful term of |
office.
“The decision rests with the
people of Nome.”
Mrs. Gilbert said this morn
ing that information would be
going out to the public before
election day concerning the
“write-in” procedure. If there
are any questions about the pro
cedure please feel free to call
Main 158 or Black 44.
