PRIMARIES ARE TO
RE HELD IN NORTH
IN APRIL-THE LAW
—
One of the acts passed by the last
territorial legislature relating to theJ
holding of elections in Alaska, and
designated to materially change the
methods heretofore in vogue in the|
country for choosing candidates foi l
the several territorial offices, is known i
as Chapter 48, “to provide for the'
holding of primary elections in the.
Tt ' ritory of Alaska, etc.”
By the provisions of this act all
nominees for office under the territ-!
orial government and the delegate to
congress from Alaska must be chosen
by a direct vote of the people. By the
provisions' of this act all persons de
siring to become candidates for dele
gate :o congress, for attorney general
or an> other office created by act of
congress or the territorial legislature
.shall, not less than sixty days before
the date of the primary election (the
last Tuesday in April, 1918, and simi
larly every second year thereafter)
file with the secretary of the territory,
a declaration of candidacy, signed andj
acknowledged, and certified to by live
electors of the territory who are mem-!
Uvs of the political party to which [
such candidate belongs, and he shall
pay to the secretary of the territory
the proper fee with the fifing of such
declaration.
All candidates for members of the
tcrritoiial legislature, and all candi
dates for the office of road commis
Moner or other provisional office, shafi
a !.-•.«», sixty days prior to the date >f
j.uch primary election, file with the
cierk of the district court for the divi
sion in which they reside, similar dec
laration of candidacy as those requir
ed tiom candidates for delegate to
i congress, and attorney general, and
shafi also deposit with the clerk of
court the proper fee, the fee to he
turned over to the territorial treasuv
. er.
The form of the declaration of can
didacy is prescribed in the act, and
in «t the candidates pledge themselves
if nominated and elected to qualify
fo” the olfice, and that they will sup-;
part and abide by the principles enum
erated by the party to which they be
long in its national and territorial
platforms.
Tiie election shall oe, under this j
act. conducted in all respects in ac
cordance with the rules and regula-;
tions pertaining to general elections,
in the territory, with the exception of
the Australian ballot system being
employed, there will be provided sep
arate tickets for each of the political
parties represented by candidates, and
on each of such ballots there shall be
plainly stated the political party whose
nomination the candidate thereon
seeks. These ballots are to be pro
vided by the clerks of the courts of
the respective judicial divisions, and
these, together with the customary
election supplies, shall be forwarded
by such clerks to the election officials
at such primary elections shall be the
.same as those acting at general terri
torial elections.
Under the provisions of the act, the
polls at such primary elections shall
remain open during the same hours,
and the balloting shall be done in the
same manner, as nearly as practicable
except that a ballot box is provided,
for each political party represented
by candidates, and each voter shall
announce his name, place of residence
and party affiliation. Upon this an
nouncement hnd its registration the
voters will be handed a ballot of the
political party with which he claims
to be affiliated, and after having
marked and folded such ballot it shall
be deposited in the box designated
for the same political party.
The clerks of the courts for the sev
eral divisions are canvassers of votes
for their respective divisions. As soon
as possible after the receipt of the
returns from the various precincts, j
and not later than 45 days after such
primary election, or as soon as the
clerk of any division shall be satisfied
that the returns from any missing
precincts cannot alter the result of the
election, it is his duty to canvass the
same publicly, and telegraph the re
sult to the secretary of the territory,
who may avail himself of such tele
graphic returns in deciding who have
been nominated by the respective par
ties as candidates for the several ter
ritorial offices.
The filing fee required of all candi
dates is one per cent of the annua
salary of the office each aspires to,
but in no instance shall such fee ex
ceed the sum of forty dollars. From
the fees thus received by the territor
ial treasurer shall be paid all the ex
: penses of the primary election.
The candidates on each ticket re
ceiving the highest number of votes
for any office shall be placed on the
official ballot of the general election,
together with the designation of the
political party by whom nominated,
and there shall also be placed on the
official pubblot, but without the desig
nation of their party affiliation, the
names of all candidates filing nomin
ation papers in conformity to the pro
visions of Section 11, 1. and 111 of
Chapter 25 of the Session Laws of
the Territory of Alaska for the year
1915.
The qualifications of the electors at
the primary election shall be the same
as at the general election, and the
penal provisions of the general elec
tion prescribing punishment for viola
tion of the law, are also applicable to
elections held under the provisions of
the primary election act.
