Opinions Differ In
Significance of
Alaska Elections
i By the Associated Press i
Democrat and Republican lead
ers differed Tuesday—almost as
sharply as the vote returns dif
fered from those of the presiden
tial year 1948 election—on the
significance of last week’s straw
in-the-wind Alaska election re
sults.
Some differences arose over
whether the political significance
lay in the reelection of Demo
cratic Delegate E. L. Bartlett —
although his 3,000-vote margin
was cut from previous years —
or in the overwhelming swing to
a Republican legislature.
Opinions Clash
Republican Chairman Elton
Engstron of Juneau declared that
“the overwhelming tide of Re
publican sentiment in the terri
tory cannot be construed other
wise than as a positive indication
of what will happen in the nation
al election.”
His statement came after Gov.
Gruening had cited the reelection
of Delegate Bartlett as the most
significant outcome, in view of
the aggressive campaigning for
and by Republican Robert C.
Reeve.
Significance of Moore's Election
Gruening also cited the election
of Democrat Neil Moore as audi
tor among the credits on the Dem
ocratic side of the ledger.
Engstrom scoffed at that and
called it “ridiculous.” He said
Moore was supported by Repub
licans and anti-Gruening Demo
crats.
Moore himself asserted: “I did
not receive support from either
Gruening or Bartlett: nor did sup
port come from Stanley McCutch
eon, Democratic national commit
teeman. The heavy vote in my
favor was due to Republican sup
port and those Democrats who
have not subscribed to the Gruen
ing philosophies.”
Legislative Barometer
Republicans supported the the
ory this tim£ that the legislative
swing has been the true baro
meter of Alaskan poli’.icaj trends.
That theory is base! on the fact
the congress seat has been a Dem
ocratic monopoly since 1932 while
Alaska swung to the Republican
legislative side in 1946 and the
86th Republican Congress fol
lowed; it swung overwhelmingly
Democratic in 1948 and Presi
dent Truman’s victory followed;
it brought Republican gains in
1950, but not enough to control
the legislature—and congressional
elections came out similarly.
From the Democratic stand
point, the party can cite that, re
gardless of ho>v the elections for
the Alaska legislature and con
gressmen in the States have para
lleled, the regular election of a
Democratic delegate to Congress
has been followed by the unbro
ken election of Democratic presi
dents.
