PLATFORM FOR FIRST DIVISION
 IS ANNOUNCED
Divisional Platform Made
 Public by Demo- cratic Candidates

Rcitcration CT .he Democratic
 Party's demand for Home Rule
 for Alaska, removal of the Ter
 ritorial school system from poli-
 tics, enactment of laws to pro-
 tect the products of the lumber
 ing and other industries and
 labor engaged therein, and pas
 sage of an absentee voting law,
 are the high lights in the
 Democratic Divisional platform
 made public here today.
 None of these four subjects arc touched upon in the platform of the Republican Divisional candi- dates which was issued about two weeks ago and widely circulated throughout Southeast Alaska.
 Candidates Hold Meeting
 The platform, it was announced, was finally adopted at a meeting held last night by the candidates and Territorial and Divisional party officers in the office of s. Hell lenthal, Chairman of the Demo- cratic Divisional Committee. At tending it were: George B. Grigsby, nominee for Delegate to Congress; Allen Shattuck, Senatorial candi- date, T. B. Judson and E. L. Samp- son, candidates for the House of Representatives, J. J. Connors, Dem- ocratic Ma tional Committeeman, and MT. Hellenthal.
 In addition to discussing the plat form, the candidates arranged for a campaign to cover the entire Di- vision. It is expected that several of them will leave here late this week for swing around the north ern end of the district, returning here for meetings in Juneau and Douglas and then proceeding south, visiting all of the larger towns and as many of the smaller ones as time will permit.
 Text of Platform
 The text of the platform follows in full:
 Nationally and Territorially, the Democratic Party has pledged itself to give to Alaskans the right of To- cal self-government.
 Therefore, we favor complete home rule through full form of Territorial Government, giving Alas ka complete control of it's re- sources, including the administra- ton of it's fisheries, game and oth- CT sources of employment and pros perity that are now under the jurisdiction of Federal bureaus. We are opposed to bureaucratic government in principle and prac- tice.
 We favor the appointment of only bona fide residents of Alas ka to official positions in the Ter ritory.
 The future of the Territory rests very largely in the hands of the next and succeeding generations. We believe the putting of the Alas ka school system into politics to be a detriment to education, and fa- vor it's removal from politics by the creation by the Legislature of a nonpartisan Board of Education with power to appoint and remove

FIREMEN SAVE DOUGLAS BY
 QUICK WORK
Juneau Department Helps Confine Menacing Blaze
 to One Dwelling

Douglas was threatened with a conflagration this forenoon, but quick work by residents of the town af1d prompt assistance from the Juneau Fire Department con- fined the flames to the one house they destroyed. Sparks ignited the roofs of ten other dwellings and l the city water tank, but these in- cipient blazes were immediately ex- ] Itinguished with either buckets of water or wet sacks.
 The building burned was a two- story structure, used for bachelor lodgings, at the corner of Second and F Streets. It was owned by A. F. Grandberg, who valued it and its furnishings at $2.0o0. There was Inc insurance.
 Lodgers Were Asleep | At the time the fire started sev- en lodgers were asleep in the building. Tanned by a strong wind, the blaze made such rapid head way that only one of them saved any personal effects.
 MT. and Mrs. Grandberg live next door to the burned premises. When the alarm was sounded, he was at work on a plumbing job several blocks distant. He hast ened home, and climbed a ladder to the roof of the doomed build ing. He was blown off his feet by strong gust of wind, and fell to the ground He was badly shak- en by the fall. This afternoon he was brought to Juneau and en- tered St. Ann's Hospital for medi- cal examination as to the possi- ibility of internal injuries. According to Fire Chief Guy Smith of Douglas, the blaze was started by sparks which were car ried by the wind from the chim- ney of a shack a block away. They ignited woodpile at the rear of the lodging house. The burning
 woodpile set fire to the house. Within a few minutes, flames from
 the two-story structure leaped high l in the air and dense clouds of smoke rolled above and away from the blazing building. From Juneau most of Douglas seemed to be afire.
 - Hose Quickly Laid The fire department at Douglas quickly had a hose laid and a good pressure of water in play. At the instance of the chief, the public school dismissed pupils and the larger boys as well as several men equipped with water soaked sacks , were distributed in neighborhoods to which the wind was carrying sparks. The most serious incip- tent blaze was on the roof of the water tank. some four blocks dis tant from the burning house. The flames made large hole in the water tank roof before they were extingulShed.
 Ten Juneau Bremen When the fire appeared at it's worst, Chief Smith telephoned the Juneau Fire Department for assist
 ance. Ten of it's members, taking ] several reels of hose, responded They crossed Gastineau Channel in the ferryboat Teddy, which made a special trip for the oc-
 casion, and which also brought the
 Juneau firemen back.
 The mailboat Estebeth and the
 fishing boat Wilson, which were 'moored on the Juneau side when the fire started, hurried across to

this period (the last 50 years) as one of the most interesting and im- portant and marked with events which will ever be of merited &C., claim in world history. it will prob ably be eclipsed in many ways in the next half century.
 What changes are to take place cannot be foretold with anything like detail. But there appear to be certain tendencies of an irresisti- ble nature along which the race is working that we may confidently expect will become more and more pronounced. The foremost of these is the movement toward unification. This is based on better organized effort. It is not always popular, for it often seems at first to limit individual freedom of action.
 
 We are entering period of mergers in nearly all kinds Of business which will dwarf anything with which we have before had experience. Such combinations will have power to perform services for the nation greater than any we have yet seen.
 The necessaries and luxuries of life will be more abundant and the resources with which to secure them better distributed. This develop ment will bring large wealth to some perhaps disproportionate wealth, but under our system aof government that will take care of itself.
 Our difficulty in this country has not been with wealth itself, but with the newly rich who lacked the character to use it wisely. But, on 
 the whole, we shall have a more even distribution of wealth and give the ordinary man new powers and new resources which he has not before enjoyed.
 Life will not be easy for those who try to live by the old methods. [. With the increased use of machinery. with the growing com plexity of existence, more and more training, skill and education will become necessary . General edu- cation will be greatly increased.
 We can expect much progress in air navigation and in distribution of electric current . j. Improve ment of roads has probably only begun Grade crossings will be eliminated and the main thorough fares well lighted at night. The country will be dotted with great airports and we shall have con- bination of motor vehicle, railroad and air transportation that will reach to every important point.
 
 We shall see electric power used in the home and in all kinds of business and even more widely dis tributed than the telephone is at the present time ...
 Distant sights and sounds will be brought within the range of our eye and ear so that conference between persons in Northampton and Buffalo will be almost like a conference around a table.
 Very little change is to be expect ed in the fundamentals of our gov- ment
 It is to be hoped that election methods will be improved. While they are good on the whole, there
