Alaskas immense unrealized possibilities in her vast forests will be made available for the establishment of pulpwood industry that will be of untold benefit the whole country and be an important item in reviving industrial and commercial activities in the Territory. Relief from long-dstance government and interlockng bureau administration with it's resulting confusion and tangled red tape is endorsed and CO., ordination and consolidation of all Federal control of natural resources under permanent resident board assured. This step has been advocated for years by farseeing Alaskans, who have recognized in the present state of affairs, one of the greatest hindrances to Alaska's progress and development
 that which has been closest to the hearts of all Alaskans-full Territorial Government-s em- phatically approved and unhesitatingy promised to the Territory by the Democratic party Right to administer own affairs devise legislation to meet conditions as they exist in reality rather than at tempt to adjust conditions to fit the laws which men who Alaska enact according to their own ideas what conditions should be here-and generally they not. The privilege of minding cur business of government without being bound by enactment law which makes mere debat- ing society of lawmaking body and allows others conduct Alaskas affairs of government is underwritten by the Democratic party if it continues in power
