DID NOT VOTE AT
POINT BARROW
NOME.—Point Barrow did not send
any election returns, says the Nome
Industrial Worker. United States
Commissioner Richardson, at that
point, explains that there were only
five voters there, including the illiter
ate wife of a trader, and so, although
they have the honor of having the
largest voting precinct in the world,
they didn’t want the honor of casting
the smallest vote. The voters felt
they didn't know a thing about the
candidates, so didn’t see the necessity
for putting the government to the ex
pense of a vote being taken. The
hope was expressed that some time
when the precinct was. more devel
oped they might be able to cast a vole
proportionate to its size.
Wouldn't Keep the Change
“Miserly offered the man who
saved his. life half a dollar."
“Did the man accept it?”
“Yes, but he handed Miserly twen
ty cents change.”
