TO GAUGE DRIFT OF THE
1932 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
WASHINGTON.—The nation is
awaiting tomorrow’s off-year elec
tions to gauge the drift of the 1932
presidential campaign and to learn
whether the new House will be Dem
ocratic or Republican. The Demo
crats are making serious threats for
two of three vaeant Republican seats
in the House. If they win these, the
twelve-year-old Republican rule of
that branch of Congress would be
ended. Of course, the national Re
publican administration has been a
target of the Democratic attack. To- j
morrow’s results will inevitably be in
terpreted as an expression of the pub- j
lie attitude toward the Presidewt. I

1600 POUNDS OP MAIL IN
BUNKHOUSE AT FAIRVIEW,
WITH NO ONE IN CHARGE
Following is copy of .a letter re
cently received by Mrs. John iRieck,
local postmaster, from (Christian Bol
gen, Ophir postmaster, which tells of
the failure of the Holy Cross-Ophir
mail to come through as .per schedule.
This mail is credited with having left
Holy Cross on September IS, and
should have arrived at Qphir about
October 1:
Ophir,Oct.27.
Postmaster, Takotna, .Alaska:
Max Simel arrived in Qphir three
days ago, reporting that about Sep
tember 27th, last rpast, during his. ab
sence fro Fairview, the mail carrier
on the Ophir-Hoiy 'Cross rroute left
the mail, thought to he about 1600
pounds, in an open hunJthause .at
Fairview, with no >one in charge.
I have wired and .written the thief
clerk of the R. M. S. in the matter,
and I believe the .people of Takotna.
and McGrath Rave good reason to
register a kick in the matter of such
treatment of the 'mail, , particularly as
the river at the time of the 'ditching”
of the *nafl at Fairview was in fine
condition for navigation up to about
Oct. 10. i (understand from Simel’s
report that the carrier went to his
winter quarters on the North Fork,
and never made any irepart to me m
the matter. Respectfully yours,
Christian Bolges,
Postmaster, Ophir.
