 WHEREAS, 1t is the sense of the members of this club, who are famil- Ii iar with the sltation in Alaska, politi. cally and otherwise, that in order to effectually carry out the policies and principles of our National administra' tion in detail, and to the end that har- mony shall prevail between the heads of different departments representing the government in Alaska, and for the just administration of the law and for the good of the service, it is essential that all the principal offices in Alas ka be filled by good and trustworthy ! Democrats, and
 WHEREAS, since the passage and adoption of the resolutions of the third day of October, 1913. it has more com pletely and generally been demon strated by the actions of John Rust gard, United States District Attorney for the First Judicial Division of AL aska. at Juneau, and H. l.. Faulkner, the United States Marshal for said Ju. dicial Division, that there is such ill., feeling and friction existing between the two said officers that even under Republican administration it would be better to have both of said officers resign their respective positions or be removed therefrom, and
 It also further appears that the acts and actions of the said John Rustgard in dealing with matters that have come before him officially are Intentionally such as are calculated to block and defeat the just administration of the law and bring discredit upon the Democratic party in Alaska;
 NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved by the members of the Juneau Demo cratic Club of Juneau, Alaska, that 1t is to the best interests of the Demo. cratic party and for the preservation of its principles and maintenance of harmony and for the just administra- ton of the law and for the good of the service, that John Rustgard, United States District Attorney of the First Judicial, Division of Alaska, as we'll as H. l.. Faulkner, United States marshal of said division, be at once removed from office or their resignation de- handed; and that the appointing pow CT adhere to the Democratic National platform. and especially to that plank therein that provides; We demand for the people of Alaska the full en. joyment of the rights an privileges of Territorial form of government, and We believe that the officials appointed to administer the government of all our Territories and the District of Col umbia should be qualified by previous bona fide residence" That Alaska Democrats of good standing and abil- | ity be appointed to succeed said Unit ed States District Attorney and said United States Marshal respectively for said First Judicial Division of Al aska; and we respectfully protest against the recent appointment of non residents of Alaska to Federal posi- tions in Alaska.
 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Secretary of this Club forward copies of these resolutions to the Presi- dent of each and every Democratic Club or Democratic organization with. in the Territory of Alaska, and that they be urged to pass resolutions re- specting the removal of all hold-over Republican appointees within their re- spective judicial divisions; and that copies be mailed and forwarded to the President of the United States, to the United States Attorney-General, to the Secretary of the Interior, to the Sec retary of the Treasury and to the Post master General at Washington, D.
