PLATFORM
The Democratic Party of the Ter
ritory of Alaska, in convention assem
bled at Seward, Alaska, reaffirms its
allegiance to the historic Democratic
party of the Nation and congratulates
the people of Alaska upon the promis
ing prospect of its return to power in
the country.
We condemn the existing mis-rule
of the fisheries of Alaska whereby the

individual with full power to legislate,]
regulate or prohibit. The result has j
been disastrous both to individuals!
and corporations engaged in the in-!
dustry and to communities depending i
upon it for prosperity. We earnestly
recommend that all jurisdiction over
the fisheries of Alaska be transferred !
from the Federal Government to the
Legislature of the Territory of Alas-i
ka. The present attempted regulation j
is inefficient, unintelligent and results j
in gross injustice and favoritism.
We recognize that the future devel
opments of the Territory depends
upon acquiring a' permanent popula
tion and believe that the territorial
j control of all resources would build
up a large and desirable citizenry.
We recognize that the conservation
of herring is vital to the halibut and
salmon industries and we are opposed
to wanton destruction of the herring
supply.
We look forward to Statehood for
Alaska in the near future. Prepatory
| to Statehood, the Territory should
be accorded the full measure of terri
torial self-government including con
