ARE YOU DISFRANCHISED ?
WILL YOU DISFRANCHISE YOURSELF after
becoming a State to be a full-fledged citizen
of the USA?
Millions of Americans fail to vote each year.
They’re either too lazy, to indifferent, or too busy
to spend the brief time and effort it takes to go to
a polling booth.
The result is that people are elected to office,
and often the highest offices, by what may be a
minority vote.
The right to vote is the greatest single defense
we have against dictatorship and political oppression.
The future of freedom depends on men and women
who will analyze candidates and platforms and tihe
bonding propositions and choose what they think
best for the nation and the State.
Let Alaska set the pace with the highest voting
average of any state in the Union. Don’t be the one
that helps to cut that average down. Let us, as we cast
our vote for President of the United States, prove
that we are 100 per cent Americans and cherish our
liberties.
There are good candidates, earnest and sincere,
running on both the Democratic and Republican tick
ets. In Nome we are fortuinite in having had the op
portunity of meeting all the candidates personally
with the exception of the presidential candidates.
The bond issues have been cussed and discussed
from every angle so that voters should know by now
whether he wants them or not. Understand what you
are voting for and if you still don’t understand the
issues, consult someone who does understand what
they mean. Those that mean better education, better
health and improved educational facilities need no
explanation. But those that are not so clearly defined,
need your carefull scrutiny.
The polls are open from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
HOW TO VOTE
DO NOT write in either circle at the top of the
■ballot until you have completed choosing and checking
your candidates. When you have finished, if all our
ahecks are on one side of the ballot, THEN check the
circle at the top. If you have chosen candidates on
both sides of the ballot, DO NOT mark either circle.

Bomb Explodes
In N.Y. Subway
NEW YORK, UP) — A dynamite
bomb exploded with a thunderous
shattering roar aboard a subway
train deep under Harlem Sunday
night, killing a young girl and
injuring 18 other persons.
Police did not believe it was
the work of New York’s “Sunday
Bomber,” who has been blamed
for four other explosions since
Oct. 2
The bomb had been hidden un
der a straw-covered seat at the
rear of the fifth car of a six-car
independent line express train.
The southbound train was halted
at the 125 St. station in the heart
of Harlem when the bomb ex
ploded.
The force of the blast bulged
out the steel sides of the car,
gouged out a two-foot hole in the
floor, shattered every window but
one. Big chunks of concrete were
ripped from the station platform.
About 30 passengers were
aboard the fatal car. A girl sitting
directly over the bomb, was killed
—her legs torn off.
The girl was identified as San
dra Breland, 15, of Brooklyn.
Police searching the wreckage
found a detonating cap, which
they said, confirmed the explosive
probably was dynamite.
