VOTE WISELY TOMORROW!
Tomorrow is the day when Alaskans pick their
delegates for the Constitutional Convention. It is prob
ably the most important convention ever to be held in
the territory.
This convention shapes the destiny of the future
state; sets the pattern and the basic principles upon
which the State of Alaska will grow and develop.
This means that the delegates elected must be men
and women of vision; are people who can set aside
personal, party and divisional differences; have studied
the good and bad points in constitutions of other states;
are Alaskans that call Alaska their permanent home.
There are many candidates that qualify and some
whose background shows they lack the necessary ex
perience.
We urge all qualified voters to take part by cast
ing their votes carefully.
ELECTION — NOTICE
September thirteenth is the one big day,
When all Alaskans can have their say,
As to who will draft the laws of the state,
In convention at College, on November eighth.*
Now don’t let them down, when your votes they need,
Get to the polls and you take the lead.
Your candidates are depending on you,
For continuous support in all that they do.
After election, study the plans,
And offer suggestions whenever you can.
Discuss them in lodges, in churches and teas—
Then send the results to your candidates, Please!

SAN FRANCISCO, UP) — In a
ceremony glittering with gold and
white vestments, a new bishop of
the Russian Orthodox Church for
the Territory of Alaska was con

He is Bishop Ambrosius, 66,

brosius shed his monatic cassock,
Archbishop Metropolitan Leonty
of New York, primate of the
church in North America, ad
dressed the 400 people present.
He stressed the importance of the
Alaska diocese, where he said the
church first reached America 160
years ago.
Russians, Serbs and Bulgars

Russian Orthodox Church in the
United States in San Francisco in
1868. It is now Holy Trinity
Cathedral,.
