IN FIRST DIVISION
KETCHIKAN MEETING WRITES
PLATFORM FOR DIVISIONAL
CANDIDATES
—
Juneau delegates to the Division
al Democratic Convention, returning
from the Ketchikan gathering, report-1
ed an enthusiastic meeting, marked
by a harmonious discussion of issues
for the 1928 campaign, says the Ju-1
neau Empire which relates the follow- j
ing account. It was the concensus of
i
opinion among the delegates attending
that the party prospects, both in the j
Territory and the nation are brighter;
than at any time since 1916.
i Copies of the platform adopted were
brought back from the convention and
the platform declarations in full were
made public today. The convention
decided not to endorse any particular
candidates for either divisional or
Territorial offices, pledging support to
I the successful candidates in the April
| primary election.
Text of Platform
The platform as adopted by a un
animous vote of the delegates follows:
“The Democratic Party of the First
Division of the Territory of Alaska, J
in convention assembled, reaffirms its
allegiance to the historic Democratic
Party of the nation and congratulates
the people of Alaska upon the pro
mising prospect of its return do ‘power
in the country.
“We condemn the existing Repub- j
lican mis-rule of the fisheries of Alas
ka whereby the entire administration
of this most important resource of the
Territory has been concentrated in
the hands of one individual with full
power to legislate, regulate or prohi
bit. The result has been disastrous
both to individuals and corporations
I
engaged in the industry and to com- i
munities depending upon it for their
prosperity. We earnestly recommend
that all jurisdiction over the fisheries
of Alaska be transferred from the
Federal government to the Legisla
ture of Alaska. The present attempt
ed regulation is inefficient, unintelli
gent and results in gross injustice
and favoritism.
Build Up Population
“We recognize that the future de
velopment of the Territory depends!
upon acquiring a permanent popula
tion and believe that the Territorial
control of all resources would build
up a large and desirable citizenry.
“We recognize that the conserva
tion of herring is vital to the halibut
and salmon industries and we are op
posed to the wanton destruction of
the herring supply.
“We look forward to statehood for
Alaska in the near future. Prepara
tory to statehood, the Territory should
be accorded the fullest measure of
territorial self-governmatnt including
control of fisheries and game and the
power of county organization wher
ever desirable, and representation in
the legislature according to population
“We believe in home rule for Alas
ka and to that end wTe not only favor
a full territorial form of government,
! but we believe that all Federal offices
in the Territory should be filled ;
through the appointment of bona fide |
i resident Aaskans.
i
Legislative Functions
“We believe in the fullest exercise j
of the jurisdiction now vested in the
Alaska Legislature and that all mat
