PLATFORM ADOPTED BY TIE DEMOCRATS
 IN FIRST DIVISION
kETCHikAN MEETING WRITES PLATFORM FOR DIVISIONAL
 CANDIDATES

Juneau delegates to the Division al Democratic Convention, returning from the Ketchikan gathering, report ed an enthusiastic meeting, marked by a harmonious discussion of issues for the 1928 campaign, says the Ju- neau Empire which relates the follow ing account It was the concensus of opinion among the delegates attending that the party prospects, both in the Territory and the nation are brighter than at any time since 1916. 1 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 the successful candidates in the April primary election
 Text of Platform
 The platform as adopted by un- animous vote of the delegates follows:
 "The Democratic Party of the First Division of the Territory of Alaska, in convention assembled, reaffirms its allegiance to the historic Democratic Party of the nation and congratulates the people of Alaska upon the pro missing prospect of it's return to power in the country.
 We condemn the existing Repub- llican 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 l
 power to legislate, regulate or prohi- bit. The result has been disastrous both to individuals and corporations engaged in the industry and to com 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.
Seward daily gateway., 1927-12-31
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-government 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 we not only favor a full territorial form of government, but we believe that all Federal offices 1 in the Territory should be filled through the appointment of bona fide resident Aaskans.
 Legislative Functions "We believe in the fullest exercise of the jurisdiction now vested in the Alaska Legislature and that all mat (Continued on Page Six)
