SALMON SEASON IS NOT UNUSUAL
 SAYS TENNES0N
Superior Fisheries Superin- tendent Says Pack Is
 Slightly Sub-Normal

The 1928 salmon season was not above normal in the opinion oi J. T. Tenneson, superintendent of the Superior Fisheries plant II Tenakee Inlet, who is in Juneau today.
 Although figures show a total of more than five million cases throughout Alaska, MT. Tenneson said he and August Buschmann general manager and principal owner of the Deep Sea Salmon company. figured the southern Alaska district would be 20 per cent under normal, West Coast Prince of Wales Island 40 per cent below normal, While the Bristol Bay district would enjoy a normal year. One section of Bristol Ray he said, was slightly below. while another had an unusually nigh pack, thus balancing the district as a whole.
 1928 has been a banner year for the Superior Fisheries plant. MT. Tenneson did not anticipate his pack total would reach the figure it did, 53.000 .ull cases. he said, while he hopes, with fall fishny. to have d total of S0000 cases. Last year his pack was 9 GOO cases, while the year before. 1926

Congress by the President and no constructive plan of relief was ever formulated by any leader of the Republican Party"
 At the outset of his speech Gov. Smith attacked the prosperity claims of the Administration, de- claring that the Republican Party builds it's ease on a myth. He also said that the claim of Gov ernmental economy was as base. less as the claim that prosperity exists"
 He assailed the Republican Ad- ministration for failing to ~a~ry out governmental reorganization plans.
 He took hot shot at the Ford ney- -McCumber tariff law, and de- clared that the Tariff Commission has ceased to function.
 He declared that the "Monr4 , Doctrine must be maintained bu. not as a pretext for meddling with the purely local concerns of coun- tries which even though small are sovereign and entitled to deman l and receive respect for their soiv- ereignty."
 Notified by Senator Pittman
 The speech notifying Gov. Smith of his nomination was delivered by Senator Key Pittman, Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions of the Houston Convention, who was designated for that place after the nomination of Senator Joseph T.

 Insisting that the personal legal definition of the alcoholic content 0 constitute intoxicating bever- lge to be admittedly inaccurate and unscientific," Gov Smith ex- pressed the view that some inn mediate relief would come from amending the Volstead Law so as 0 permit each State to fix it's 1wn standard of alcoholic content, ubject to a maximum to be fixed )y Congress.
 Eighteenth Amendment
 "I believe, moreover, there hould be submitted to the peo- 1le the question of some change the provisions of the Eighteenth Amendment" the Governor said. Continuing, he said, Certainly no lne foresaw when the Amendment was ratified conditions which eX- ist today of bootlegging, corrup- ton and open violations of the law in all parts of the country. personally believe in amending the Eighteenth Amendment so as to give each individual State itself only after approval by a referen- lum popular vote of it's people, the right wholly within it's bor- ders to import, manufacture or cause to be manufactured and sell alcoholic beverages itself and not for consumption in any public place."
 Action for Farmers
 Regarding farm problems, Gov. Smith announced that he proposed to substitute action for inaction md friendliness for hostility in ealing with the question.
