The election se,ason ~as ~fatted antl slnee then 1 have had many sleepless nights thinkmg where in the .hell (if I am still acceptable to. tpat place,) I Am i:n;to say something go-0d about the Temtori:als js lo be •®mned by lhe Uemocxat~, and to say something- helpful to the Democrats is to bt> equally damned -by the Territorials. • - -
This column ts d~algned to say .something gQod fo.1" every.body including the person of this columnist, a'ud the views expressed here are strictly his own personal views and ebould not be confused with his· FOCAL POINTS, whlcb r,epresent a compendium of public op~l)ion.•
As -an introduction, parclon me for using my picture i.bove, talten some 15 years ago, ana ~ny similarities be• tween ~he- p.hoto and the ac~ual subject now, perhaps, is, purely coincidental. But at any rate, for using _it,_ rt only indicates I am still a hwnan being whose _patur:µ in~tinct is 'to live forever' -to look young and to feel eveq ,j•ounger; knowing that Hie i,s just a memory, and a memory nev~r dies.
I now take the case of Govemor Guerrero. rr there is any.public official in t_hisTeJJl'itorythat the Ji'oealPoints . bad lllllll&rcilessly castigated, whether fa,irly or unfai,r'Jy (which is a question of opinion depending on one's own), Mr. Guertero tops our list.
But the Governor and r, h1spite of my hard criticism llave rem~ned very good friends, Re 1·espected my views as I have always respected his', specially the dignity of his office. I have always ·seen to it to sepatate th~ issues fro'1} personalities.
And in t,fli.scolumn, 1 would like to take the opporlu• nity to give the first good words. for the G:overn6r:
Mr. ·•Guerrero would not have been Governor today or the past four years if he ls not worth his salt. He got. up thecre the slow and hard way .Irrespective of his faurts and shortcomings, be possesses -a quallty of leader• ship and dedication that • has. brought him tQ the. fore• front and pedestal of bqnor. All these I have: recognlzecl.
I have known him since I ffr,st came to G\lam somP. 19 years ago. All these years, I have watched and seen him progress. I have always considered him a good friend, and I could not ffimk of any occa$ion where· he pe~onally'or officially ba,s done me any wrong. An€' ~frs. Guerrero, has. always been kind, biendly and even vei-y motherly to my family.
Few it none at- all~ among lo(.'.alpoliticians can equal his political savy. He is shrewd impassive and impenetrable. He can best be described as "faceless," meaning you will never know exactly what he is actually going to decide to do, making him a mau of "co11trast".
But there is one man on tllls island who can almost read fiis mind and predict with cel'tain accuracy his moves in the pplitreal gam'e of chess. And he knows it.
Well, welll People were laughing •at me years bac1< when started and without litup, -bjllllme-ired·on th11 Elective Qoyemorsbip, ~d now, it is 011 our doo1·step.s., and in this connection. Mr. Guerrero may yet succeed himself as the first elected Govro-ijor of Guam. This is mr ~rsonaI op-inien. 0,nly a fool could ignore it.
PaTdon me for the use of the ·profane· words "hell" at:d ''damned", J.;>uthave you ever 'th-9u:8Jltthat the two words are -complementary?
But any way, it is a common sa~·ing that "he who raisa'S hell begets hell". On this busis, a critic iS a.s open to criticism as the man he crilicizes·. t ·am fair -game -as tbc. politi• cians runniI)g for office and to this extent l:'ll take my share of any criticism from anyone.
Br.sically, i am always inclined to favor and sympnatiz~ With file cause of the underdogs. I always believe in the. importance at the minority in our democratic society. But l have alwars insisted that -for the majority to expect respect from others they must equally learn too, to respect the • rights of others.
Presently, (and it is just possible that it Jni.gbt not J:)efor long) the ~mocra_ts are ii) the minority,. My past record wm indicate that I have champeoned the cause o.f the De., -.nocrats more than the T-erritoriaJ.s. For this reasO'll I ha\'e become suspect to the Territorials. The Democrats ·on the otber hand, knowtng_ that I am not one of them or not with them, natutally have reason to expect that I am against them. So whete in the hell (pardon me ag11Injam I?
For the benefit Q:f the pollti~uns f.rom botb parties I, can be found in the heart and cote of the many issues I have entered.- The people, perhaps, that •buy and read this magazine will be 'the best to a.'!1'where I can be found or wnere and to whom I belong.
I seek no spe#al place nor priYilege in eithel' pa:rly. I oply ask for a refuge in the hearts oi men of goodwill.
Isn't it great to pat one's own back 'and for once enjoy t:he luxury of ' 1self•importance" in one's own publication?

S.Vietnam:History-RepeatingItself?
Last week•s Jssue of the "Newsweek" magazine was banned from the newsstands in Vietnam tor an article ¥.Titten by the publication's bm-eau chie.£ tb~re. "Following •the ban, U)e magazi:Qe's editor cabled Henry <Jabot Lodge and protested the. action saying tl1e ban makes a mockery of the fundamental De.n,oeratic. right to .freedom of speech• and press.
Xbe South, Vie.tnam Government according to l'eports claims the action was taken i>tcause of an article by· Newsweek's Saig~n buteau clqet E. G. MaFtin which. saill, "lhe Vietnamese m.aintaiti an nlmost total impassivity to the war and the U. S. has Mt co11vinced tJiem that t:ber~ is a- cause worth fightipg for".
Thus, Newsweek!s editor, Osborn Elliott; requested that Lodge ask the South V,Jet'nameseto rescind th'e ban, Lodge was also· urged to, press the South Vietnames,-e tp do away with the b~n which mocks the Democratic way of life the U. S. is trying so hard to give their people.

CHARLES E. BORUM, As• sistant Superintendent, Vocational Education.
As we have mentioned previously, for Ii'Y 1966, the.i·e was made available to the Department of Education for its Vcx-alional, Technical and Adult Education Program U1e sum of $902,585 which the subtle study of Dr. Hendricks proposed that it shared with the College or Guam o:Cwhi<'h he is vice p1·esident, lo be decided by lhe Board o{ the Guam Commission. for Vocationnl nnd l'echnical Education of whkh he is chairman.
One's imagination docs not liave. lo be st.i·etched to undersla11d the highly unprofes:..ional conflict of interest on Lhe matter.
We ure perhaps running too fast and far ahead of our story.
A cursor)' reading of tbfte studies 01· surveys made by Dr. Hendricks on the subject, indenebly leads us to believe that its target, disguished and camouflage in the technical term "Continuing P1·cgram of Edu~ation al')d Extension Services" ior the College of Guam of which he is vice president, is t11e relegation to a minor and senile rok', paving lhe way towards its final takeover and absorbtlon of the present Vocational, Technical and Adult Educa• tion by the College of Guam.
While Dr. Hendrick's study appropriates liberally for its convenience tbe re<:ommenclations of ihe Planning Research Corporation on the subject of "Continuing Eaucation", it conveniently ignored and omitted the sugges-
Prlnelpals, Consultants and Instructors at the new Trade ,ud Technical School.
tion of the said - Planrung Research Study "that any coordinating body consist of persons directly concerned with, vocational education on a continuing basis. Persons with this continuing Interest and responsibility would be the Assistant Superintendent for Vocational Education; the MDTA coo.i:dlnator; the CIRO stall members; U1e Guam Contractor's representatiw; members or the College o( Guam, the Guam Employment Service and other government of Guam agencies. U such a group appears unwecidly, an alternate suggestion would be to have a core of Department of Education l)rofes.sionals maintuini11g necessar.r liaison with the othe1· elements."
The foregoing is lhe e)(act recommendation made by the Planning Research Study which !1,Ir. Dendricks perhap:l conveniently omitted in .his report when he proposed an<l submitted t,hat "The chief atiministrator envisaged in this plan would be the College representatives to t~e master coordinating body re• codimended by the Pia~ Res~arch Corporation."
And what have we got?
The Governor's so-called Commission on Voeational Education formed as a C011$1!quence of the Research Corporation's Recommendatio!l htid for its chairman, D.r. Albert J. Kendricks; }'vfr. Ivan Ward Lasher, representinl{ the Department of Education; Mr. Frank Loiselle, ·re-
presenting CIRO; Mr. John Palomo, representing the Guam Employment Service; Mr. John Yamashita (the College President's brother) representing the labor Union; Mr. Spencer Scott repr.esentlng the U.S. Air Force; a certain Mr. Frondaltl; and Mr. V. Q. Sanchez the Chief Commissione1· of Guam. Converuently excluded is the Assistant Superintendent !or Vocational Edueation woo ls specifically recommended in the Planning Research Corporntion's Study.
Dr. Hendricks, in a recent issue of 01e Pacific Journal was reported to have express;.. ed the hope "that the College's capabilities and recom# mcndatious will be considel'ed by Lhe commission, tne commission oC which he i1 chairman.
The learned Doctor also told this writer that his in• terest is to promote the interest or the College, and the many studies, surveys and memos he had written on the subject unashamedly, wUl bear him out. He is therefore -pushing the program to the- interest of the College first and the people of Guam second. At least that is :.l logical conclusion we can adduce. Worse, as cbainnan of the Commission he bas in fact or in effect written a recommendation to himself and the commission of which be is either .a member or chairman, thus sitting ln judgment of his own case.
B.ALPB MORGAN, vocational Oonsul\ant.1n this instance, professional ethics demand that he should either voluntarily resign the chair~anship or be Temoved by the Governor and at best, be merely allowed to present his .-?ase to th~ commission as a party ln in• terest representing the interest of the College of which he is vice presiden~.
By Dr. Hendricks' own ad• mission, the College of Guam is graduating each year on!y a handful, despite the overall increased college enroll- • ment. We would like to see the College first to develor, and provide a realistic and truly college education b~ fore it extend Its unsteady hands into other fields.
If the College authorities like Dr. 1iendt1icks thinks that It has the public conndence, as vice .president for academic affairs for the Col· lege (whatever that high sounding title means) he better re-examine the public attitute.
Reading the beautifully printed brochure o! the College, one cannot belp but notice that in many cases, prerequlSites al'e not offered previous t-0 the required course for graduation, w.here electives shown in the school catalog are not presently offered and appears merely designed to mlslead rather than to inform, with but very little likelihood that they will be ()ffered.
Pertinent to our discussion of the College with respect to the community nttitudt", we find very interesting a

Of the occasion, Governor Guerrero sa~ "I can remember the hew .and cry raised in circles when. Pre$ident F. D, Roosevelt -pre.ssed for..the enactment of Social Seearity •~'1$1ation."

For ihe third time within the pasl several weeks Jl loathsome twosome have appeared out of the night and nowhere to rob and pillage honest burghers of their hard c.>arncdtaxable type loot; to the unimaginative, yet quite convincing tuJte of "gimme all the money".
The latest foray of the impertinent imps (assumings, course, that an three stickups were pulled by the same duo) occurred late Tuesday night in Plti, where two masked bandidos held two service station attendants at bay with the business end of a carbine long . enough to lareenously liberate a cash box full of odds and ends of coin and cash, totalling approximately $170 in currency and an undetermined amount of niekles, dimes and ersatze quarters.
The latest victim of the Dillinger type Duo's "self-employment" routine was the Piti Royal Service station in Pili.
The _prolanity, plus the cold steel muzzle of the carbine's bore convinced them ' however, Castro was reported to have said, that the unpleasant gentleman with tbe cordite convincer meant exactly what he said. lie' added that the weapon appeared to be a 30 caliber military carbine.
He and his partner offered no further resistance to the 'duo's diabolical des.igns, said Castro, whereupon one oI the bandidos put the snatch

..When elected Governor, 1 will sever all association and relationsbip and divest myself of all interests in the law firm of which I am senior partner - the law firm of Arriola, Bohn and Dierking. In addition I will request my successors in such law firm not to prosecute or file any claim against the government of Guam or any agency thereof, during my tenn of office· and
"When elected Governor, I will divest myself ot aH stock ownership in corporations or interests in partnerships that may do busineS!i, directly or indirectly. with the government ofGuam or any agency thereof- in order that I then can devote my undivided time and attention as your Governor.•
These were the profound words spoken by Joaquin Camacho Arriola, presently Speaker of the Tenth Guam Legislature and an aspirant in the island's first gubernatorial election, when he delivered his keynote address to a multitude of waving and cheering supporters and friends Saturday night, February 28, at the Paseo De Susana grounds.
The mqmentous occasion indeed holds a promise that could bring in the long-sought and much-needed political and economic progress for Guam.
It was of great significance to Speaker Arriol� in his dream to bring that about; for, it marked the official campaign that could very well make him the · first elected governor of this great territory.
1t was an opportune moment forthe people ofGuam to personally meet and talk with him and his running mate for Lieutenant Governor, Judge Vicente B. Bamba. It was also a time of revelation· for, that evening, the comprehensive plans and programs of these two leaders were publicly spelJed out. Their views and stands on pressing problems confronting our island 'were also heard.
ft was, at the onset, a slow start. At seven o'clock, the people bad just begun to arrive.
But, by eight o'clock, the crowd had grown to an enonnous siz• and the momentum that developed had the force of a flood no barrier cool<;} hold, especially so,

For many years, he uid. Guam has been continually plagued «with what r would cull a hit-and•run kadership."
Citing tJ1t· Jead rship o. pr vious adminj trators, Judge·Bamba said that "not one of those who held the stewardship has the personal.ity, vision and vitality essential to growth.
'We havt! had that type ofleadership for o long now and, in vfrw of our nipidly ct1angiag odety, with all its compk proble-:n we would be merely prolonging th· cris.i if we continue to allow this crisis in leadership. We nel!d an administration that will set forth attafnable goals and not one who will say 'I am neither here nor there .

eiting economic development as one of the major problems on uam, Judge Bamba said that Mam can no longer afford to sit back with the attitude that all is well.
"Positive steps must be tak n to provide the leadership and direction needed foran orderly economic growth," be continued. "Lack of understanding, -planning and attention to thi essential area in our devel0pment could be disastrous. Our people mu t be given the tools necessary to participate in this growth."·
Of the pledges and promises made that evening by both Judge Bamba :and Speaker Arriola, one was to provide incentives for the young people to become interested in 0ommerce. He said thatassistance tosmall businesses in the way of capital for expansion and diversification must be provided; adding, the government must provide all facilities needed fora well planned and orde.rly economy for: Guam where the o:ver-riding consideration m:ust be fot our people t-0 share in such growth.
"In an afluent society such as ours, of paramount consideration is the health and welfare of the residents of Guam," he stressed. 'Our people are entitled to the highest standardsofhealthservices and patient care.1•
He sajd that preventive programs must beaccel rated and in onnection therewith, each district should hav,e a. properly,staffed h aIth · nd social center.
Turning to housingand livingstandard Judge Bamba said that every American family hould be cntitl d to a decent home and that the government should assist any uch family who or which is unabl to ither rent or purchase decent housing.
On :Hages he opjned that it appears the wages and salarie-s of- working men and women have not kept up with the risingcost ofliving.
"It is our intention to earcl1 for ev ry possibl way - �o correct thisimbalance," he asserted.
Touching on manpower development, he Said that Guam, for many ye�, has not been tao successful in developing adequate manpower needs not only for the business community but for the needs iJ1 government and ether areas. He pointed out that labor ha been constantly in need of skilled workers and yet the programs to train people have been "very inadequate andpoorly unplemented.'1

He said thal Guam has long been deprived of the valuaht • . crvice. or those who should have returned to or remain •d in the island after their professional or vocati nal training here or •I •wh ·re.
"We lik to think of this situation as a brain drain " he lamented. "We wiH <lo everything_ pos iblc to induce the ·c pt·opk to j in us in our cfforts to build a new and better Guum.
"We will intcn:ify the attempt o focus Guam as a stratcgi • and important ar·a in the Western Padftc."

voke was drowned b thunderou applau e and deafe�ing whistles.
The rain that started earlier had stopped and the dark clouds th.at seemed to have enveloped th sky in ,ts un happy embrace udd ·nly disappeared; and the sky once. again b.,right with th promise of a great tomorrow. It w.JS· at about thjg auspicious moment that Speaker Arriola tood and began to speak.
"J 70 -is ind ed a histori year for Guam ' he b gan, " ince for th first time in"its his\ory w� will el ct our own govemo.r and lieutenant governor. For all of us in Guam, thi will be a momen tous occasion for it wiJI be the fulfillment of another ba ic desire of free peoples cv rhwherc: Th free election of the chief executive and lieutenant gov mor."
He told tu listeners that the p ople of Guam should all be justly proud Qf the gain and achievements thus f�r. in thi campaign. However, he iss·ued a wai,:iing to 111 upporters that overconfidence, i.ndifferen e and lrtting our guard down could not only st0p th advance but could ea ily tum victory in to d feat. H add d that we need not b apologetic or timid for our cause is jti t and our intentions honorable.
"Our i land is in the threshold of a v ry rapid d _evclopmcnt. Our society is undei;going revolutionary change that are ver-more omplex and the direction more difficult to predict. ' he said. "'Thu , for the·· coming years. we need bold leadership with a !ear vision of our goals plus tb .abili ty to in fluence and manag its progres Trus type of 1 adetship doe not come by luck or chance or sheer "rugged individualism, .. rather it is fo.rged on the anvil of long academic preparation temper<!d by patience and experien<:e."

With a great majority of the youths on Guam supporting Iii candiaacy, he said t�at the youths of today are no longer contented of b�mg observers and learners. Young as they are they have teamed the hard way.
"They want to partieipate in the decision-maki!1g process," he went on to say. "The _ y have the potenhal and the ambition plus the almost inexhaustible energy to do a wealth of good.
"lt is our task and responsibility as adult members of this community - the establishment, if you will - to provide our young adults with the means to �xpress themselves outside the classrooms, and the medium to channel their energies toward a mere meaningfull experience and involvement in the affairs' of our community"' Mr. Arriola said.
A thunderous applause was given the Speaker when he pledged "never to ignore the needs _ of our Y?Uths. To this end he added, we shall establish a medium by which we can continue to exchange ideas and to resolve problems that will inure to· the best interests of all.
Echoing the remakrs of Judge Bamba on the urgent need for a self-.sustaining labor force, he sajd: "The need to develop and upgrade the skills of our working people can no longer be rationalized away. So also is the need to provide them with salaries and wages adequate to sustain their families, plus a measure or security.
"We must also assure them that their working conditions will not rob them of their dignity as a working class " he said. "Every person who is willing and able to w�rk should be assured or a productive and rewarding job.
He said that special efforts should be made t0 reduce the "brain drain " and "manpower drain" that has been going on during the last twenty years.
He cited the lack of incentive as the biggest deterrent to manpow,,er development. l;fe said that the 2.ovemment must provide the necessary incentives to keep pur own people on the island and encourage those already abroad to return and apply their talents and know-how in the development of their island.
"Their assistance is needed, and we must exert maximum efforts i:o induce them to work with us," he said.
Pointing out the development of education as a must if Guam is to realize its fullest potential, he said:
'Our children are OUT greatest assets. They are the hope of the future. Every child, regardless of his- station in life 0r his ability to pay, is entitled to a good education.
'Vocational and technical training programs geared to meet the needs of our social and economic development will receive our prime consideration. Thus, part of our efforts will be direeted toward giving eur children quality education that is relevant to their needs and at the same time realistie in terms of our total available resources.
With the rapidly-increasing -number of youths cont'don nex

involved in the frightening influence of narcotics and dru�. particularly around chool campuses, Spe.a.ker Arriola pledged tQ exert "every lawful effort to inform our young citizens of it-. bad effects and of their addicti n to find ways and m ans to kick the habit off and most important. to stop the, now of these items into the i.land.
'Too oft n in the past, and even to this very morn nt, our methocj of resolving social ilJs is to react haphazardly to crisi and to meet it on a crisi by c°:-si& basis, • he aid. "Mor� often than not, w emphasLz more on cures rather than preventive m�asures'."
In proposing a solution to �nPliorate thi� a?ominable situ1:1tion, Arriola promised to give top pmmty to our law enforcerncnt agency.
"We need to modernize that agency, to upgrade he training 0f its personn I, up-date their methods- of operations in such areas as enforcement crime detection surveillance and information collection activitfos,' he said.
He added that the rehabilitation of youthful offenders wil1 also be given their utmost attention.

Turning hi attention to the critical situation on road . water po�r and tel phone fa ilities, Arriola said:

Speaker Ariola pointed out that the people ofGuam, on a per capita basi , have already assumed more than theirshare ofthe war b�rden.
He cited the outstanding perfonnances ofour men in uniform, saying that their records during World War 11 th� Korean Cc,nf\i t and now Vietnam, 'exemplify the best in th tradition of tht! military. Their valor in the faue of physical danger, their unquestiooabl patrioti m and their unflinct-jng willingness to an wer beyond the c;all ofduty.
The anti-cHmatic portion of his delivery over, which was often interrupted by over-enthusiastic a-pplause, Speaker Arriola dramatically came to the climax of his speech when in a voice packed withemotion he pledged to the people:
''Let me as ure you, notwithstanding personal financial sacrifices that:
"1. When elected Governor 1 will severall association and relation hip and divest myself of all interests in th law frrm of which l am senior partner.- the law finn of Arriola) Bonh & Dierking.

Afterthe Speaker had spoken andthepandemonium ofapplause, nQise and hand-shaking had subsided,the people settled down to enjoy a fie ta of deLicacies prepared by theAnio]a-Bambavolunteers
There were two bands the Salvation Army and the Mu-Six., that played soft and dance music forboth the youngand the old whostayed untTI Ji)astmidnight.

MANUEL L. JOSE
The Hohorable Carlos G. Camacho, Governor of 6uarn, Office of the Governor, Agana, Guam.
Dear Governor Camacho:
r have transmitted to you Bill No. 244, "An Act to repeal Sections 20 13, 22 1 1, 22 12, 22 13, 22 J4, 22 15 and 22 16 of the Government Code of Guam, to amend Section 2059 1 of said Code, and to add a new Chapter 17 to Title rn of said Code to provide primary elections for all territorial elcc(Ne offices," which Qn the 9th day of February, 1970, was passed by the Legislature notwithstanding your veto. I am transmitting herewith Bill No. 587, "An Act to amend Sections 29 10 and 2934 of the Governmen t Code of Guam to permit write-in votes in General Elections and to clarify who may decid , challenges in primary elections," which bill was passed b:Y the Legislature on the 10th of February 1970.
r respectfully requcst that you review these bil together ince the sole purpose of Bill No. 587 is to make those changes in the Primary Law you suggested in your veto message of February 9, 1970. While we do not nece arily agree with the conclusions in your letter w telt that obtaining a statutol)'. primaiy law was more important than any argument over details- artd that therefore, to sa1¥ag_c th , biJI, a companion bih s�ould be immediately introduced, given a public heanng, and p ssed that would mak aU the changes in th� law necessary to an wer your objection . Accordin@y if you wish a pri maty law for the territory of Gt\am for this 1970 election, it is suggested that you sign into law both Bills Nos. 244 and 587, signing BiU No. 244 first o that Bill No. 587 will ther 'after amend it and the resulting primary Jaw will then conform to your wishes as expressed in your letter of the 9th.
To make it clear that th Legislature has in fact so gone along witJh. your criticisms of Bill No.. 24�, let �e take up the differences b tween the two t,111s m detail. In your let.ter of the 9th you stated that the most serious defect was that prohibiting write-in votes. In response to this, Section 29 10 of Bill No. 587 s_pecitlcally provides that write-in· votes are to be permitted.
Your second objection was that in case of a tie vote the Election Commission decides the 'Y.i:nn r by lot. Section 2936 in the new bill provides for a run-off election fourteen days after a primary in which te votes resulted. (Yo_u apparently also believe that th re should be run-off efo.ction in case no candidate wins a majority o.f votes in the primacy, citing the Organic Act 0f Ouam.
Of course, the Organic Act refers only to the OeneraJ Election in requiring a run-off election and this can hardly be construed to require run.,-off elections in the primary, th.e Organic Act being silent as to primaries and thus even aitthorizing the selection of a gubernatorial team by a convention or other party procedure whereby the great bulk of the voting public would not participate at aJI.)
Your next criticism is• that there js no provision for a replacement of a legislative candidate after a primary who ran unoppo ed. Section 29 l 7 in the new bill .riow authorizes the Central Committee of the party to appoint a replacement in such eontingency.
Next, you point out apparent contradictio�s betwe�n Sections 293 I and 2933 stating that an election official might not known which provision to follow. This has now been clarified, and you will note that Sections 293 1 and 2933 very clearly provide �at at the first primary in 1970, a voter may choose any ballot �e wishes notwithstanding his party preference but tn 1972 and thereafter he can only have the ballot of the party he designates, or a non-partisan baJlot. Note also that Section 293 1 now requires the Commission to compile and maintain a register of party preferences.
You then question those provisions o� Bill _No. 244 that were in conflict with the General Election Law respecting the nurrber of inspectors a each P?lling place. In response, Bill No. 587 adds a new definition to Section 2900, Election Official" meanin� one of the inspectors or judges serving on the Precjnet Board and all references to inspectors have been changed to references to election officials. This clears up �s question.
Finally. you object to the liberal construction phraseology set out in Section 290 1 of Bill No. 244. Note that new Section 2901 merely states that the Chapter is to be construed in favor of the v_oter, which language is in conformity with other sections of the Guam Election Law requiring such liberal constroction. See Sections 2450 25 19, 253 1 and 2544.
You conclude your letter by stating that Bill No. 244 is vetoed on account of thes.e objectionable provisions. Since Bill No. 587 answers all of these objections, we assume that you will approve it, especially since you are on record favoring a Primary Election La� as a matter of some urgency. You will remember that m your State of the T rritQry Address you stated: "Guam must have a Primary Electipn Law and the _ peoJ?le _ have to!d us they also want clistrict representation. J will submit for your consideration shortly bi1Js covering both of these matters." While you have given us your bill on district represe11tation, you have failed to submit anything on a cont'donnextpage
primary taw. Since the Legislature will not meet again until Jane and since the General Election will be in _November, it is dear that if J'OU do not apprnve the enclosed bill, the peo(lle of Guam will have no primary electioFt law for this crucial General Election, the most import-ant in Guam's history.
While in tenns of sheer political.expediency it might be oeemed advisable from the point of view of the Republican Party of Guam for a primary to be avoided since jn this way the Dem�cratlc aspirants for office will hopefully continue to battle among themselves right up to the time of election, l respectfully submit that this course will be unacceptable to the people of Guam anti would be unworthy of your high office. The only· real losers in such a tum 0f events will be the rank and file Republican voters since the Constitution of the local
Democratic Party already requires a primary election� anda Democratic primary wiJl definiteJy be held, just as in 1968. The two bills s.ubmitted to you now embody all of your expressed views as t© a primary election law for Guam, and f can see no conceivable excuse for disapproving them.
Accordingly I urge your favorable consideration.
Very truly yours
