The Territorial Department of
Education has outlined an expan
sion program for the schools which
will ultimately provide every school
with an adequate school building.
Territorial funds have not per
mitted the erection of new build
ings during the past year. This in
terruption has been only tempor
ary. however, and it is expected
that the work will bG continued at
an early date.
The pubic school system of the
Territory needs further expansion
^nd improvement, before new in
stitutions of higher learning are
established. W. K. Keller. Com
missioner of Education, believes
that the children of the Territory
should come first in the education
program, and that junior colleges
should not be established until
the common schools are adequate
ly cared for. He believes that no
program which will weaken the
standing or work of the Alaska
College should be undertaken.
A system of junior colleges m
Alaska will result in diverting
funds needed to conduct and im
prove our educational system.
Junior colleges are expensive in
stitutions.
Those interested in supporting
Territorial schools should not be
misled. Do not vote for the estab
lishment cf more colleges. Support
W. K. Keller in his effors to pro
vie education for your childien.

WILL SWEEP COUNTRY
NEW YORK, Nov. 7,—Roosevelt
will probably be given 365 elector
ial votes and Hoover 166, it is pre
dicted by the Democratic National
headquarters and in the opinion
of leaders, Roosevelt will sweep the
country as Hoover did four years
ago.
DUE 0!t HOOVER
(Continued from Face
OLD POLITICAL TRICKS
In part the President said:
“The administration measures
now in effect are restoring normal
cy and employment to our people;
therefore we are entitled to be re
turned to office next. Tuesday. The
Democrats have resorted to old
political tricks and they have dem
onstrated by their utterances dur
ing this campaign and in the last
session of Congress that they lack
vision and incapacity to reach the
heart of the economic situation.
“The oppositon party has totally
ignored vital issues of the past and j
J present,” the President continued,
adding that he wished to refresh
his audience’ minds by reciting 20
emergency relief measures and ac
complishments accomplished by
i the Republican administration.
PAYS TRIBUTE TO LABOR
“In these times of world stress,”
, the President said,s“American peo
ple continue to be paid the highest
wages in the world despite the drop
in commodity prices.” He then paid
labor and labor leaders tribute for
orderliness, lack of rioting, etc
“Roosevelt pleads to mobs on
election day. Well, the government
at Washington knows how to deal
writh mobs!”
j “We are gaining in employment
by half a million men a month!
There is evidence of recuperation
on every hand and foreign curren
cy is beginning to return. The up
; ward movement in industry is seen
j in the increase of power whjch, in
! the last month, shows an eight per
cent gain. A change of adminis
tration nowr means four months of
i practically non-existent govern
ment. If the Democrats are vic
torious their plans can not be put
into effect for a full year.”
RIDICULED UTTERANCES
The President then reminded his
audience of 20 Democratic emer
gency measures to bring a return
of prosperity, which he ridiculed.
“The Democratic candidate de
nounces us for not spending gov
ernment money for relief fast
. enough, yet as late as last night
he preaches economy. Roosevelt
intends to plant a billion trees in
• order to employ one million men.
i The Secretary of Agriculture ad
) vises me that such a project could
. be planted in three days.
I It would cost inexcess of $8,000,
000,000 to carry out his power
or utility plans. He has promised
i jobs to people which no govern
II ment could fulfill.
WOOING WOMEN VOTES .... j
At this point the President talk- i
ed for at least 15 minutes on the
subject of women and their cour
age and resourcefulness in these
difficult times, recounting the aid
rendered him in Europe following
the World War and of the ever-in
creasmg activity and need for
women in public affairs.
“I have been drown into this
campaign more, perhaps, than
many of our Presidents have been
in other campaigns, but the many ;
ramifications not understood by1
many, have made it necessary, so I
have brought you a direct story and
have endeavored to present facts j
to thoughtful people. I have made
no effort to reach the emotions but
have presented to the American
people, logic.”
The presidential party is expect
ed to reach the Pacific Coast to
day and may decide to broadcast
another address. He is due to arrive
at his home in Palo Alto noon, to
morrow.
President Hoover was to deliver
an address at noon today in Salt
Lake City.
Tonight he talks from Elko, Nev.'
; In brief speeches Sunday from
j the rear of his special train, the
I President voiced confidence that
he has diverted the people from
trivial thoughts to the fundamen
tals of the campaign.

WHS FII SUCCESS
A great success in every way
characterized the Carnival pre
sented Saturday night by the high
school students at the school build
ing.
Beginning at an early hour in
the evening—7:30— sideshows of
every description were open to the
inspection of the towns-people who
purchased tickets for the various
events at the downstairs booths as
well as tickets for the well-known
“hot-dogs” and coffee refresh
ments served by white-aproned
students.
The “Chamber of Horrors”, a
fashion show, fortune telling and
a hotly contested three-round box
ing match were but a few of the ;
numerous stunts performed among |
the group of laugh-provoking and i
otherwise entertaining features.i
Circus barkers, bright confetti and,
serpentine, comic hats and noise
makers transformed the building j
into a scene resounding with the
activity and jollity of a real carni
val. . ,
The assembly, aecorateu wiv»*
colored streamers and with the
floor cleared for action, served as
a ball room where a five-piece or
chestra provided dance music thej
balance of the evening. Here also
at intervals, were feature tap and
novelty dances performed by stu
dents.
At the close of this long-planned
event at about 11 o’clock, the Car
nival had more than fulfilled ex
pectations for enlargement of the
school funds, by a very substantial
: amount, and its propogators are to
be congratulated upon it’s success.
