Attached to the resolution. request ing Federal control was the draft of bill providing for such control, Congress being asked to pass the bill The resolution with the at tached bill was adopted by the House and Senate of the Alaska Legislature in 1923. Senator Di- mond voted for the measure.
 Senator Dimond reflected against my position on the bill transfer ring activities of the Alaska Road Commission from the War to the Interior Department. What or iginally gave rise to this measure and other measures moving Army officers from civil activities back to military duties was the repeat ed insistance of Representative Thomas l.. Blanton, Democrat of Texas, that the 2,0O0 Army officers engaged in civil duties be returned to the Army service.
 Favored by Administration
 "The Secretary of War sponsor ed the plan of turning the Alaska Road Commissions activities to the Interior Department. The President approved. The Secretary or the Interior accepted the pro- posal. The bill,. virtually an Ad- ministration measure, was intro duced in the House by Represen- tative Edward T. Taylor, Demo- crat of Colorado, and passed by the Democratic controlled House. The effect is that resident Alas kans have been given the places that were held by Army officers I had no objection to the plan when it was before the House. I have none now.
 Road Appropriation Fought
 Democratic candidates should be silent on road matters The Democratic House at the last ses- sion of Congress cut the Republi- can administration budget for Alaska roads of approximately S600,000 to approximately $300,- GOO, and a Democratic Representa- tive, John McDuffie of Alabama, fought to strike out the appropria- ton entirely When put to vote in the House, the motion lost by six ballots. Republican votes were what saved the allowance.
 Senator Dimond passes censure on the fact that I left Washing ton before the adjournment of Congress. When left in June, the business of the House was done with respect to almost all legislation. The House was wait ing on the Senate to pass bills that had been passed by the House. I was assured by both Democrat and Republican floor leaders there was no possibility of any Alaska legislation.

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 28.-Steps to prevent another financial night mare, such as Ivar Kreuger forced upon this country, are included in the program of Sweden's new cab inet.
 There is no direct reference to Kreuger in the explanation of its aims by the Social Democratic party. The inference has been found, however, in this paragraph:
 "The government is to take up in earnest the question of combir- ing suitable state control of private dealings with regulation of the economic assets of the country"

CRITICISMS AND
 ISSUES TREATED BY WICKERSHAM
Delegate Cites Record to Support Campaign
 for Reelection

Judge James Wickersham, Re- publican candidate to succeed him. self as Delegate to Congress in an address at Douglas last night, replied to criticisms made by poli- t.cal opponents and offered his of ficial record in support of his cam paign for reelection. His speech of an hour and a half's duration, held the attention of the 75 per- sons gathered in Eagles Hall and was generously applauded at the close.
 Having been introduced by L.. w. Kilburn, Judge Wickersham prefaced his talk with the state ment that important bills intro duced by him in the recent first session of the present Congress would be brought to the consid- eration of the House at the second session, beginning in December, and that if he were successful at the polls in November he would retain among his colleagues the influence necessary to effect en- actment of the needed legislation.
 Gives Attention to Criticism
 The Delegate devoted the first part of his address to replying to criticism of him by Senator Anthony J. Dimond, Democratic candidate for Congress, and George B, Grigsby, who presided at the recent Democratic rally in Juneau.
 Senator Dimond and MT. Grigs- by said they favored putting the fisheries under the control of the Territory" the speaker recalled. They found fault with me be- cause I have been unable to ef- feet this result. Tn the Organic Act of 1912, which I wrote and introduced in Congress, thereby giving Alaska her Legislature and other agencies of Territorial gov- ernment, Territorial control of fisheries was not excluded in the original draft.
 Demand of Bureaus
 Federal control was in com- plance with the demand of bu- Teaus and officers of the executive branch of the governmental de- mand so strong it could not be denied MT. Grigsby and Charles "A. Sulzer, another Democrat, each served a term, lacking a few days, in Congress. They were not able even during a Democratic admin istration, to get the fisheries under Territorial control. I have intro duced bills for this purpose.
 Tn this connection, I hope that the commission of six members of the House appointed under the resolution that I introduced at the last session, to investigate the con- dition of Alaska Indians. will ulti- mately effect a reformation in the fisheries situation. The commits sion will learn that big interests in the States virtually moncpolize the fishing industry in Alaska to the detriment of Indian employ ment as well as white resident employment. I am sure the com mission will recommend a drastic remedy for this evil.
 Requested by Legislature
 Senator Dimond blamed me for lack of Territorial control over game and wild fur bearers. This control was taken by the Federal Government at the request of the Alaska Legislature when Senator Dimond was a Territorial Senator.

ASSA|LS
 RUSTCARD AND
 MANY BUREAUS
1 n d ep n dent Candidate Gets Fair Hearing from
 Large Local Audience

In two-hour speech last night delivered to a well-filled house at the Capitol Theatre, William l.. Paul, urged voters of all parties and those who owe allegiance to no political organization to vote for him for Attorney General of Alas ka. He charged that John Rust gard, encumbent and Republican candidate for reelection, is unfit and unworthy to fill the office, and said that James s. Fruit, Anchor age, Democratic nominee, is fine man and a real gentleman but a litle old.
 MT. Paul spoke for more than two hours and held his audience ir close attention, winning warm applause frequently as he directed shafts of satire at bureaucracy, bureaucrats and various individ- uals but largely at his Republican rival for office.
 Fisheries Main Issue
 Fisheries, and specifically fish traps, he asserted is the main issue in the current as we'll as in past campaigns. And am the best qualified candidate for the office of Attorney General to rep resent the Territory in hearings or it's fisheries and ought to be elected" he declared.
 In the more than two hours that he spoke, he devoted less than 30 minutes to his own record and platform and the remainder to shelling the entrenchments of MT. Rustgard and the stronghold of bureaucracy. Laughter greete d many of hs sales and he was gen. erously applauded at the conclusion of the speech.
 Test Trap Legality MT. Paul, contending that the fish trap is an Illegal fishing gear, pledged himself. if elected, to test it's legality, something that MT. Rustgard has failed and refused to do, he said.
 Elect me so that next year I can go down to Washington and help your new Delegate, Tony Dimond, to get Home Rule for Alaska" he urged his audience. Applause interrupted him, and when it subsided so he could pro- ceed, he added: Or Wickersham if he is elected" for moment there was deep silence, then single voice from the back of tn house shot back at him, ''Never!" and laughter followed the retort. You see," Paul added similingly, I'm having a hard time remain ing neutral"
 Recites Own Record
 Opening with a statement that he was candidate without party, and admitting in the past he urged voters to vote a straight party ticket MT. Paul declared straight party voting is out of date and has no place in an intelligent community.
 He cited briefly his public record, and his own platform, confined to the fisheries, he frankly said, was that of George B. Grigsby, Democratic candidate for Delegate to Congress in 1880.
 He claimed credit for raising the Territorial school refund; for writ ing the first Community Property bill which he put through the Lower House; responsibility for the lighting of MendenhaH Bar; the Gustavus School; watchmen's liens; the act creating the Territorial flag; made pioneers pensions war rants a continuing obligation on the Territory; a bill to exempt small boats from attachment for debts; oral appeal from judgments in Commissioners courts; the first bill for a graduated tax on fish cauglat in traps; the first heavy

nonresident fishermens tax; was the first to propose 12 months residence for fishermen; tried to humanize the Workmens Compen- sation Act and claimed credit for all of the improvements adopted since 1915, and wrote and introduc- ed bills for State industrial insur- ance; was responsible for the aboli- tion of the Territorial fish hatchery system, and various memorials and resolutions relating to fisheries and other subjects.
 Assails Rustgard Vigorously Attacking MT. Rustgard vigorously, MT. Paul indicted him on seven counts. He had been, he charged, false to his friends; false to the head of the Republican party's territorial ticket, Delegate Wick ersham; false to and had deceived the people; false to the Republican party; false to his own office; that he is a moral coward; and that he had conspired to form a political partnership for selfish purposes.
 He charged that MT. Rustgard had been false to former Delegate Sutherland, quoting a speech de- livered by the Attorney General in 1880 which accused Sutherland of not reading any document unless you smear it with fish oil.' Thus, MT. Paul added, he accused Suther- land of being dupe and of neg lect of duty; reveals his contempt for fishermen; and imputes dis honesty to Wickersham.
 Dishonest With Paul
 "Nor has he been honest with me-" continued the speaker. T supported him in 1920-24 and 1928. In 1927, I directed all the bills in the House affecting his office I wrote the Controller Bill which he praised so highly in Anchor age.
 But at Peterspurg he said he would never permit himself to talk with me except in the pres ence of reliable witnesses" Paul mentioned occasions when he was a guest at the Rustgard home and said the latter had thus broken the law of hospitality.
 Proof Of Deal
 The claim that Rustgard made of having no conference with Paul, the latter said, was part of his denial of having made any deal with Paul to withdraw from cur rent campaign. He denied trying to make a deal with me. He said: I have never offered Paul any job in my office at any price"
 Picking up a paper from the desk before which he stood, MT. Paul continued: T hold in my hand a letter from Henry Roden dated September 5, 1882, in which Roden said I have just had talk with Rustgard and he has authorized me to say that if you will withdrew and support him, he will employ you in his office at a salary of $250 a month beginning November 1. I think Lawrence Kerr will quit. Or maybe he in tends to give you my job
 'tRoden is here-you people know him. You know whether to believe him or Rustgard."

 The Star published a story say- ing that an unnamed shipping man had received a letter from Chair man Farley asking for funds.

 Chairman Farley declared the letter was 8 forgery, adding:
 T have no doubt the Montreal Star, which is given the basis of this utterly untrue story, received letter, nor have any doubt as to the source from which it came, the same source from which pro- ceeded the equally baseless story that 35,000 persons had written to the Literary Digest to change their ballots from Roosevelt to Hoover.
