' With less than fifty days in which
tilings of candidate* for nominations
lor various offices may be mode as
far as the April primary elections
are concerned, reports received here
‘indicate that the Alaska political pot
i*- beginning to bubble. At least one
full ticket, exclusive of delegate* to
the national convention, is reported
to-have been made up to enter the
Republican primary and individual
candidates are being announced al
most daily.
So far but one filing has actualV?
been made, that of Arthur Frame.
Anchorage, for Republican National
Committeeman. The declaration of
Judge W. D. Coppernoll of his candi
dacy for nomination for Attorney
General on the Republican ticket is
expected to reach the secretary’s offi
ce when the mail from the steamer
Admiral Watson is received.
Some doubt was expressed at the
secretary's office today over the le
gality of Mr. Frame's filing. It was
I made under the provisions of Chap
ter 38, Session Laws of 1917. which
provides for such filings to remain
open for 6ft days prior to the primar
ies. An Act passed by the 1923 leg
islature, while noi mentioning the
1917 law* as being amended or re
pealed. in effect did repeal the time
clause of the latter by making it
necessary to file declaration on or
before the first Tuesday in February
