Democrats Take Power From GOP in Alaska
Anchorage, Alaska—(U.P.)The Alaska Democrat party seems certain to have swept back into power after two years of Republican control according to latest unofficial returns in the territory's general election.
Only two Republicans were given a chance at this point of being elected to the legislature, both of them from the first division.
Unofficial returns from 72 of the 262 Alaskan precincts indicate an overwhelming victory in yesterday's general election with control of the legislature and a certain victory for incumbent delegate to Congress, E. L. Bartlett.
Mr. Bartlett had a margin of 5,692 to 2,531 over Mrs. Barbara Dimoek, Republican legislator from Anchorage and first woman ever to seek the post.
Reports from that division indicated four Democrats will join them in the territorial house, while two Democrats seem certain to be sent to the Senate.
In the third division, where most of the territory's voting strength lies, it was apparently a clean sweep for the Democrats with three senators and ten members of the House apparently in.
From the fourth division, Mr. Fairbanks reported seven Democrats appeared headed for legislative seats.
Republicans held slim margins in races for two territorial posts.
In the race for labor commissioner, Republican Henry Benson had 4,137 votes to 3,899 for his opponent H. J. Lanneman, Cordova fisherman.
Earl Hunter, Juneau Republican, was also out in front of his Democratic opponent by a slight margin in the race for territorial treasurer. Mr. Hunter had 4,178 votes to 3,959 for Hugh Wade, former head of the Alaskan Native service.
Democrats in the territory were jubilant over what seemed sure to be a landslide victory after being knocked out of office two years ago by a similar GOP victory in the last legislature.
Most of the booths will be based on games of chance, with one house adding "spice" by having a Bohemian beer garden. Other booths will stage pie throwing, dunking booths, melodramas, racing booths, and a gambling casino. One house will feature an ice show and another a house of horrors.
