SEWARD REPUBLICAN
CONVENTION ADOPTS
PLATFORM
The following- is the platform |
adopted by the Republicans of the j
territory in convention at Seward, j
April 19, 1916; after the delegates !
and reaffirmed their adherence to i
the principles of thn Republican
party:
1st. We beiizve that the Terri
tory of Alaska is entitled to more :
extended powers, and pledge cur \
support to Statehood for the whole !
or part of the Territory
2nd- That one of the most vital j
needs of Alaska is tne construction
of the railroads, trails and bridges
throughout the Territory to permit
the development of regions of rich,
resources now- inaccessible, except at;
! enormous expense, and in order to
’ promote the construction of these:
great arteries of commerce, we fa
vor fmacial aid by the Federal Gov- i
eminent of all legitimate railroad j
enterprises organized to build trunk
lines in Alaska whenever such com
panies shall with their own capital
make substantial progress with their
projects, and we urge that all rail
I roads so aided be governed and con
; trolled in the fixing of a freight
i and passenger tariff. We urge the
.speedy completion of the government
| a! railway now being constructed
i and favor liberal and prom'it ap
j propriations therefor
3rd. We beFove that tl:.,- rapid
: growth of the county: and the ev
\ pansioa of its industries, has been
! largely due to the Frotectiv-i Tariff
! inaugurated and maintained by the
; Republican Party: tl."-*, the present
depression in the states is primarily
i due to its partial abrogation by the
j Democratic administration. We de
i mand its full restoration, and that
i our industries shall receive such
measure of protection as shall en
able them to successfully compete
with the nations of the world
4th. As a part of the protective
I system, we urge the immediate up
building by proper legislation of a
merchant marine. Which shall con
sist of vessels built by Americans.'
j owned by Americans, manned by
i Americans, carrying American car
goes, under protection of the Ameri
I can flag, to every foreign port; in
dependent production cannot exist
with dependent transportation
5th. That Congress is urged to
make appropriations for the ex
tension of the Alaska cable and
wireless systems to all parts of the
Territory.
6th. We favor liberal land laws
for the Territory which shall en
courage the settlement of the agri
cultural %rea^ and the development
of ,the mineral rsources, whereby
the settlers and locators may be
asapred of securing title from the
government without unnecessary de
lay or departmental interference.
7th. JVe demand Federal investi
gation of the monopoly known as
the “Fresh Fish Trust” of the Unit
ed States and Canada, which is
driving away from Alaska ports the
American fishing fleets, and destroy
ing for the fishermen of Alaska a
market for their product which is
honestly taken from the waters of
the United States.
8th- We believe that a most thor- !
ough and complete preparation for!
war is the nation’s greatest guar- 1
ante? of peace- We therefore favor
a complete system of coast defense
and an adequate army and navy for
any purpose, upbuilt, however, along
such lines as will not engender a
spirit of militarism.
9th. We most emphatically dis
approve of the vacillating manner
in which the Democratic administra
tion has handled affairs with Mexi
i co during the past three years; but
we pledge our undivided support to
the government at Washington in
its present undertaking in Mexico,
and in whatever it* may hereafter
undertake in vindication of the Na
tion’s rights, and the Nation’s hon
or, in Mexico, or elsewhere.
10th. We charge the Democratic
administration with having ignored
Alaskans in appointments to public
office in this Terrtory, and with hav
ing disgraced our citizenship by the
wholesale appointment of non-resi
dents and carpetbaggers in lieu of
our citizens, and we condemn this
un-American policy and practice as
highly prejudical to our people and
detrimental to good government- We
reaffirm our party slogan “ALAS
KA FOR ALASKANS*' and demand
that only bona fide citizens be ap
pointed to public office. We be
lieve that harmonious party organi
zation and solidarity are basic prin
ciples controlling good government,
and to the end that our citizen vot
ers shall have a voice inx appoint
ments to public office, we pledge to
the people of Alaska thijt all divis
ional appointments to public office
shall be made only upon the joint
endorsement of the Republican com
mittee of that division and the Re
publican National Committeeman,
and all other Presidential appoint
ments to public office in Alaska
shall be made upon the recommenda
tion of the Repubican National Com
mitteeman of this Territory.
11th. For the purpose of defin
ing property rights in the Territory
and offering to women and children
protection, we recommend the pass
age by the Legislature of a com
munity property act.
12th. We, as American citizens,
firm in our faith in Republican prin
ciples. pledge our support to the
nominees of this Convention and
our moral support to the nominees
of the National Convention to be
held at Chicago on June 7th, 1916.
and we hereby puedge our candidate
for delegate to use his best en
deavors to carry out the above plat
form.

INVENTOR DEMONSTRATES
HIS FLYING TORPEDO
An attempt to “fly” the world’s
first torpedo was made in Denver
the other day by the inventor of the
device, Dr. F. W. Buck, a physician
of Flagler, Colo-, says -the Denver
Republican. The test 'of the con
trivance was made on a large va
cant lot where it was constructed
Doctor Buck said the present tor
pedo is merely a model, but at that,
is fully as large as would be need
ed in warfare to destroy a battleship
or the interior of a fort. It is 14
feet long, 10 feet high from the bot
tom of the wheels to the roof of
the biplaite attachment and weighs
300 pounds. The inventor says the
machine can earn- 200 pounds of
explosives.
An eighteen-horse power engine
gives the motive power- The pres
ent engine is a small marine type
During the day’s tests the carburet
or worked poorly, preventing the
engine from developing the desired
speed- Doctor Buck obtained a dif
ferent carburetor and the tests
were more Successful.
The devise is known as the Buck
Aerial Automatic torpedo. It is
designed to be sent aloft containing
a large quantity of some high ex
plosives. Its movements will be con
trolled by an automatic device
mounted on the engine- This au
tomatic appliance can be set to
work whenever the torpedo has
traversed the required distance- If
the affair is intended to blow up a
battleship ten miles from the start
ing ground the automatic control
will be set for ten miles- It also
permits of any fraction of a mile—
even to yards and feet—being in
cluded in the distance for which it
js set

When the calculated distance has
been traversed, the automatic con
trol will release the engine and the
bomb from the biplane proper and
the engine and explosives will fall.
The plane will fall separately.
The aerial torpedo resembles noth
ing in the world so much ns a huge
fish mounted on two bicycle wheels
and bearing a double-decked um
; brella. The body of the machine
! is of thin steel- Above it is a small
light double-plane, which support
the contrivance in the air like an
aeroplane- In later models, after
the preliminary . tests have been
made, the wheels that run on the
ground at starting will be omitted;
a compressed air catapult will start
tlie torpedo going
