IV. A. “Pat" Cannon
As a candidate to serve on the
oounoil I want you people as
citisens to know that I will work
to the best of my ability for the
interests of Kodiak if elected.
Also that I will live up to the
platform on which I was chos
en—"Harmony, Economy and
Efficiency "
We who intend to make Kod
iak our home must think of the
future and put forth every effort
to achieve the many possibilities
that Kodiak has.
We must all work together to
accomplish the many problems
that confront us. United we
stand divided w* fall.
Jack Delane
I am no politician but I do
have the community’s interest
at heart, and if elected will do
my best for the city and people.
Clyde Galbreath
It is my belief that actions
speak louder than words.
Henry L. Haag
If I am elected councilman I
will do all in mv power to see
that the citizen’s tax money is
us*-d for the best interests of all
taxpayers.
I will al-o w<». It with the coun
cil in every way to get all Feder
al appropriations possible for
projects that a>e needed in our
Ciiy.
Charles Hopp
I am not running for the coun
cil to make any changes but just
to fill In 1 have no changes to
ma!:e and no political parly af
filiation, but thi- next year there
is going to be lot' to do with the
water service We will also have
to try to get money for a new
school building and a federal
building from n ne government
agency
I am not at all. anxious to be
elected and will l>e satisfied if
not. There are many men more
capable and more business like
than 1 ain, who have more time
to tend to the work in hand.
Paul F. Johnson
If elected to the oouncil my
pledge is for efficiency, economy,
impersonality and progress in
our municipal government.

I have no political ambitions
nor axe to grind. My name was
placed on the ballot by my
friends and business associates
who have a confidence in me
that I could not breach by with
drawing.
These friendships made in my
4 years residence in Kodiak are
invaluable and most appreciated
and if you as voters feel that I
can serve you best as a member
of your city council you may
rest assured of my most honest
efforts toward the benefit of the
oommunity.
Tom Nachand
We must all agree to the truth
that the City Treasury of Kodiak
is in a very bad financial state,
in fact, bankrupt. We can and
mu9t find new sources of revenue
to run our city on a stable busi
ness-like basis.
We have, nearing completion,
a city utility, namely, the new
water system, which will bring
the city income. This revenue,
handled properly, could go a long
way toward paving our city
streets and sidewalks. We could
also have city lights under way
shortly.
Much has been said about a
cold storage plant for Kodiak. As
I understand it—due to war re
strictions—this project will have
to lie dormant for awhile but a
steady and relentless battle must
be kept up to insure Kodiak
being the final selection for this
much needed assemblage.
In the past our city council
has been made up mostly of
a group of businessmen. Natural
ly, these men have been more or
ie s interested in the business
man's views alone; I feel there
should lie a fair percentage of
daily wage earners in office to
upho d the interests of our many
workingmen.
We must be progressive, re
spect, the other man’s inalien
able right to be able to make a
good living and doit fairly and
just y. I.et us work to establish
a city that we can be proud of.
If I am elected as one of your
city councilmen, I will do my
utmost to bring about a success
ful conclusion to the many re
quirements that Kodiak needs
to be a live, progressive city
One very important statement
is: Take advantage of your

We mu t exjiect, greater loss of life than has been
suffered up to this time. However, the loss in
human lives can l>e greatly reduced and the war
itself shortened if
riffht to have a voice »n your
city government and vote in the
coming election. Make your vote
a progressive one.
Stanley F. Nelson
I firmly l>elieve that all the
candidates running for office and
every citizen of Kodiak is inter
ested in the betterment of city
government and the future im
provements due our fair city.
During my three and a half
years’ residence of Kodiak this
is my first attempt in city poli
tics, but, through the handling
and distribution of over a half
million dollars worth of foods in
this area I have likely had the
opportunity of either a business
contact or friendly relationship
with each of you. It has always
been my policy, and I have
made every effort, to be fair and
honest in dealing with the pub
lic I serve.
As your councilman, I would
to the best of my ability, promise
without prejudice to fulfill the
duties thereof and to coordinate
in every way towards a more
economic and efficient city gov
ernment
Let’s all get out and vote and
may the best man win.
Jim Pierce

Warren A. Taylor
In the event I am elected to
the city council, I will endeavor
to the best of my ability to as
sist in governing the city in an
efficient and economical manner
I feel that now is the time to
secure all the benefits and ad
vantages po-sible for our com
munity so that we will have a
better place in which to make
our homes.
