REPUBLICAN, CLUB ANCHORAGE ADOPTS
 1923 PLATFORM
URGES HOME RULE; WANTS ALL TERRITORIAL OFFICES FILL
 ED BY ELECTION

lI6 l D1pl6EOn 1ACpuUAiCdA SAuO of Anchorage has gone on record in favor of giving voters greater respon- sibility in the management of Terri torial affairs through the election of Territorial office-holders. The ac- tion was taken at meeting of the organization in the adoption of a platform containing a number of inn portant blanks for the guidance of the club in the forthcoming cam psigns. The platform, as published in the Times, reads as follows:
 l. We endorse the present admin istration of the Republican party, and pledge our allegiance to the princi- ples of that party.
 2. We endorse the Alaska Rail- road and the Alaska Road commis- sion as the foremost opponents of federal aid in the development of the Territory, and favor the assumption by the federal government of larger part in the development of the Territory in return for the with. drawal of some of the principle re- sources.
 3. We believe Territorial officers should be elective and that resident Alaskans should be appointed to fill all federal offices in the Territory; and that candidates for office shoud be pledged to this principle.
 4. We believe in the conservation of the resources of Alaska to the ex- tent of preventing wasteful use or monopoly, but we are opposed to withdrawals, and restrictions upon title, which discourage the invest ment of capital in the Territory.
 5. We believe in strengthening the primary election law to make the primary purely party function, and
 re charge the Democratic party with seeking to appeal, or to render this law imperative.
 6. We favor liberal appropriations for our schools, which determine the standard of citizenship; roads and trails, which make way for develop ment; and for the care of those do- pendent pioneers who have marked the paths of progress in Alaska.
 '. We emphasize the importance in this division of Territorial aid for the Anchorage -Matanuska wagon road, and a suitable boat to care for the growing traffic on Cook Inlet; and we recommend the establis hment of an experimental fur-farm in the Territory.
 S. We call upon the federal bu- reaus operating in Alaska to use Alaska coal, agricultural, timber and other products, and we view the i'm
Seward daily gateway., 1927-12-29

portation of these products as re- versal of the governments develop ment policy in Alaska.
 g. We earnestly urge all Repub- licans to support the party candi- dates in the approaching elections to the end that republican national administration shall ensure a con- plete Republican Territorial admins tration. We believe a bi-partizan ad- ministration, under our system of government, renounces responsibility and can be satisfactory to neither political party.
 10. We believe that all Republi- can candidates should be pledged to support this platform.

AS COACH of leading western university
crew, Russell Callow is an authority on
keeping men in tip-top condition. He writes:
"For the past two years, members of my
crew squads have taken Fleischmann' s Yeast
during the training period. At first, many
of the men were skeptical. 1t was necessary
to make it a rule that Yeast be eaten
regularly. This year found this rule un-
necessary. Practically all the men are sold
on the use of Yeast. They are making a
steady diet Of it of their own accord.
Throughout the time that Yeast has
been used we have not been troubled with
constipation, which is so often prevalent
during training periods. And we have had
no skin disorders, with the exception of one
boil, which was shortly cleared up. What is
more, the general condition of the men
seemed improved. I do not intend to 60
