Some 1,143 new elective offices have been created and means will have to be found to keep the Dictator from being elected to each.

Anderson, 31-year-old Fairbanks bus driver, whose guess of 8:02 p. m. was nearest correct, some $75,000 richer. Day before Guesser Anderson split with another guesser the $3,500 first prize in another similar pool based on the movement of ice in the Chena River at Fairbanks...
