TERRITORIAL POLITICAL “DOPE SHEET”
Political dopsters see in the announced possible lineup
of the Republican forces in the next Territorial campaign .
an adroit move by Delegate Wickersham to clear the stage
of obstacles and give him practically a free field within;
his own party in the race of nomination to succeed him-1
self. • • !
In the possible naming of Attorney General Rustgard
for a judgeship in the Second or Fourth Division, the j
greatest threat to Judge WickershanTs crown will have j
been met and parried. Mr. Rustgard developed fair |
strength in the last primaries and looms as the most po-1
tent danger to the Wickersham leadership.
The question of a successor to Attorney General Rust
gard involves the name of Frank Foster. Incidentally, j
there looms such names as Roden, Winn and several others j
who are said to be satisfactory to the party adherents.
WThile on its face, the slate appears to have no flaws in !
it from a partisan standpoint, it is fraught with event- j
ualities. With the Democrats controlling Congress no one!
can tell What they might do to President Hoover’s nom-;
inations. In the event of refusal to confirm and the forc
ing of the President to submit names of Democrats, the
appointive positions such as judge might be of but short
duration and therefore not appeal to aspirants for the job.
With the Democrats it appeal's certain that Senator!
Tony Dimond will be groomed for the race against Wick
ersham unless he observes his previous stand not to run
unless pressure is brought by his party. The Bourbons
see what appears a good chance to nose their man under
the wire presented by the situation which has developed
in the States, in which the Democrats have made marked
gains both in Congressmen and Governors.
With dopesheets being prepared thus far in advance
of the race, indications are that wre will be given a good
old-fashioned political campaign next Nevember, unless
both sides are “too proud to fight.”
SURFEIT OF RESERVATIONS
A proposal is before the Chamber of Commerce that
a strip one-half mile in width on each side of the Kenai
Lake road be reserved as a game refuge.
This same proposal was submitted to The Gateway
some months ago with a request for an expression of
opinion. At that time The Gateway voiced its disapprov
al under the heading that there are already sufficient if
not too many reservations in Alaska.
The argument is advanced that by creating the re
serve it will encourage wild animals to "occupy it, thus af
fording the tourist an opportunity to see the animals in
fcheir primitive state. In this regard there is about one
chance in 10,000 that the animals could be seen, even tho
the strip w~ere fenced. It is not the habit of wild life to
cling to precincts in dose proximity to settlement, and
even when pastured, as at Banff, Alberta, they remain in
the background of their enclosures and seldom approach i
the road or railroad when there is traffic upon it.
Rather than encourage the Federal government in
creation of further reserves it would appear more rational
to endeavor to have some of the environs thrown open to
settlement.
A group of Eastern feminine intellectuals banned a
book showing a picture of children in prayer on the
grounds that it would lead to inquisitiveness respecting
God. All of which ought to be pleasing to the Diety in re
lieving Him of the old alibi of responsibility for the kids'
progenitors.
No one'will know the results of getting his eyes open
ed in the United States until we receive the reports on
King Prajadhipok’s divorce proceedings.

nr SHOOT SUNDAY
I IS GREAT SUCCESS
*
It wasn’t a big league baseball
| game that attracted the sportsmen
' and sportswomen^of Seward to the
j baseball grounds yesterday. It was
! the turkey shoot, stage by the Sew
| ard Volunteer Fire Department.
| Tl\e shooting started early in the
forenoon with Fred Kielcheski,
chief of the local fire department,
winning the first turkey offered. \
The shooting throughout the re- ‘
maindcr of the day revealed a num- j
ber of other cracksmen who all
took home from one to three tur- j
keys apiece for their skill.
When participants of the shoot;
thought their trigger finger and j
eagle eye were getting somewhat,
“off” because of the cold, they;
would go inside the huge Army
t.ent and get warmed up and take i
on a cup of coffee and a hot dog j
sandwich. Then they went out and
shot some more.
A total of 19 Thanksgiving birds,
were won at the turkey shoot.
Not only men took part in the 1
shoot but women also showed they I
knew something about the manly
art of target shooting. Mrs. Charles ,
Sheldon made the second best score j
for the day. Mrs. Harold Painter :
shot a good score also.
The turkey shoot was the largest j
and best attended affair of its kind \
to have been staged in Seward, j
and the Fire Department wishes to i
thank the residents of Seward for j
making it a success.
J. J. Chisholm, prominent An- j ■
chorage business man, is among j
the arrivals in Seward. He is reg-!
istered at the Van Gilder Hotel.
