CANDIDATE ATTORNEY GENERAL,
 OPPOSED FE:DERALS
BELIEVES CONSERVATION IN TERRITORY BEEN GREATLY
 OVERWORKED

The following is a copy of Frank H. Fosters platform. He is a candidate for the office of Attor- ney General of Alaska:
 Juneau, Alaska,
 March 26, 1882.
 T am candidate for the office of Attorney General of the Terri tory of Alaska, subject to the will of tbe voters as expressed at the Primary Election, April 26, 1882, and as such, respectfully solicit your support.
 "I have been resident ot the Territory of Alaska for 21 years, am married and have five children, all raised in Alaska. Whatever have of the worlds gear, which isn't much, is invested in this Ter ritory. I have been a practicing attorney for 26 years, have held the office of United States District Attorney and during three sessions have been member of the Terri torial Legislature. I expect to re- main here for the rest of my days, and to do my utmost in the future as I have in the past, for the up- building of the Territory.
 T am utterly opposed to Federal or any interference in Territorial affairs. I believe that the conser- vation principle has been over worked in Alaska to the extent that most of our Territorial resources have become the playthingS Of Federal bureaucrats. I believe that there will be no lasting prosperity for the Territory until the chains binding us to the Federal bureaus are severed. I am utterly opposed to the brand of conservation which was foisted upon us by Clifford Pin chot and others of his ilk.
 T favor the encouragement Of Alaska labor, the employment Of Alaskans and citizens of the Unit ed States in all public and private works. I believe that all Alaska appointees should be chosen from bona fide resident Alaskans.
 T believe in the equality of priv ilege and opportunity for all AL aSkans whether white or native.
 Tt is my opinion that the game, fish and fur bearers of this Terri tory are the heritage of the people resident herein and should be so administered as to give resident AL askans first opportunity to put same to beneficial use. am op- posed to game laws or regulations which deny to our people the right to take a reasonable toll of such resources.
 T do not believe in the leasing system as applied to coal, oil or fur farming lands. It is my Opin- ion that the Homestead laws should not be hampered by the red tape of forestry regulations. I know that if Alaska were placed under the same conditions as existed at the time of the opening up of the Great West, we, too, would develop and prosper in the same manner as the States have.
 "If chosen Attorney General, I pledge myself to administer that office fairly and impartially, giving to all the same degree of justice and honest dealing without dis7 elimination as to race or condition.
 If these principles appeal to you, please place a cross before my name at the Primary Election.
 "Yours very truly,
 FRANK H. FOSTER" 1"

CANDIDATE GR|CSBY
 SETS FORTH VIEWS
 MESSAGE TOvOTERS

The message OI IeOISc D. 1llSo- by, candidate for Delegate to Con- greSs, subject to the primary elec- tion, April 26, is set forth clearly in the following statement:
 "As a candidate for the Demo- cratic nomination for Delegate to Congress at the coming primary election, I herewith make brief statement of the principles for which I stand.
 T am nfavor of the direct pri- mary law and absolutely opposed to it's repeal.
 T consider the future admins tration of the fisheries of Alaska as the big issue of this campaign. Am utterly opposed to the present bureaucratic control
 T am in favor of the abolition ot fish traps, and as the most effect i've means to this end. will, if elect ed, work for the transfer of all fed eral control of the fisheries to the Alaska Territorial Legislature. believe this can be accomplished with the advent of the Democratic administration, which is assured.
 T will do my utmost to put the Bureau of Fisheries out of buSi- ness in the Territory of Alaska, ex- cept for the purposes of scientific research.
 T am opposed to all forms of bureaucratic government. No fed eral bureau should have any power to legislate whatsoever
 Tt will be my endeavor, if elect ed, to open the public domain of Alaska to settlement and develop ment under the same liberal laws under which other Territories were developed. This includes timber lands, oil and coal lands. I am op- posed to the leasing system.
 T am opposed to the Pinchot system of conservation as applied to Alaska, believing that nature and economic conditions present sufficient barriers to the develop ment of the Territory, without ad- ditional man-made restrictions.
 ''The Alaska Legislature should have complete control of the game and fur bearing animals.
 "The Democratic doctrine of states rights, advocated for the past one hundred years, is particu- larly applicable to this Territory. We should be accorded home rule in the Territory on all subjects of legislation not purely federal.
 T have not recently adopted the above platform but have cam paigned on the same platform for three successive campaigns, each time gaining more votes, and in the last election was beaten by my Republican opponent by only 296 votes. I believe those who vote in the Democratic primary all desire to nominate a candidate who has the best chance of success at the election this coming November will not in this message, or else where, reflect on the merits of the opposing candidates for the Demo- cratic nomination. However, the friends who 0 have urged me to again become candidate, and I myself, believe, that my past re- cord in office, as United States at torney, as Attorney-General, and Delegate to Congress; the wide ac- quaintance obtained by my suc- cessive campaigns, the increasing number of votes gained in each of them, all indicate that I am the logical candidate and deserving of the nomination in the April pri- mary.

Bismarck citizens to the number OF
800 braved snowstorm Thursday

the World War Memorial building
and hear report on the progress of
this city's campaign to prevent the
removal of the state capital to
jamestown.
j. E. Davis, president Of the AS
ISOLATION Of Commerce, was chairman
Of the meeting. Others who spoke
were G. L. Young, city attorney;
Henry Duemeland, chairman of the
finance committee Of the defense or
ganization: s. S. Boise, commander
of the Bismarck American Legion
post, and E. B. Cox, chairman Of the
defense publicity committee.
A resolution thanking the people OF
the state for the support and as
sistance which they are giving Bis
marck in the capital defense effort
was offered from the floor and un-
animously adopted. The text Of the
document, offered by DR.. r. s.
Towne, follows:
A Friendly Attitude

Bismarck. In mass meeting assem-
bled, that we sincerely appreciate the
friendly attitude toward the city of
Bismarck shown by our fellow citi-
zens In all sections Of the state and
that we are most grateful for their
cordial offers Of help and cooperation
IN our fight against capital removal"
It was a serious faced crowd which
gathered to discuss the capital re-
moval threat and the effort being
made to thwart it. The high school
band played stirring military airs but
there was no Tightening OF the ear

Two police officers, Sergeant O. r

lates the faith and confidence Of the
pioneers. Stressing the great poten-
tial resources Of the western part OF
the state, he expressed resentment at
the attacks made upon them by
jamestown.
Assumed Obligation
Asserting that Bismarck assumed a
contractural obligation to provide the
necessary adjuncts of q capital city
when 1t was awarded the seat of gov
eminent at the constitutional conyen-
ton. Davis asserted that this city has
kept the faith. He pointed out that
Bismarck is A. miles nearer than
Jamestown to the geographical center
OF the state and is as near to the CEN
ter OF population. In view of these
facts, Jamestown's claims are an In
suit to the intelligence of the people
OF North Dakota, Davis said.
Young advanced four fundamental
considerations as reasons for voting
no on the proposed amendment. They
were:
l. That capital removal would
work an injustice to the western part
OF the state.
2. That it would prove a lack OF
faith In the future Of North Dakota
3. That the movement is founded
on hypocrisy and greed rather than
on an effort to improve conditions.
4. That the removal effort is q
threat to- the tranquility and the
spirit OF cooperation essential to the
welfare of the state.
Cites Other Instances

ARTISANS MAY
Be in SESSION HERE.
REMAINDER OF DAY
Progress Is Slow; Lemke Leads
Attack on Secretary Of
State Byrne

Indications Friday were that the
Nonpartisan state convention, which
opened here Wednesday,, would not
end until sometime Friday night.
Numerous candidates were in sight
for every place on the state ballot
not already held by Nonpartisans
and business proceeded slowly.
Three ballots were needed to en-
dorse Ole H. Olson, New Rockford,
former state senator from the Fos-
ter-Eddy district, for the lieutenant
governorship.
Objection was voiced to proposal
to unanimously endorse Robert
Byrne, incumbent, for secretary of
state and the convention recessed be-
fore taking up that question. OPP
position to Byrne was sponsored by
persons who condemned him for re-
jecting petitions to refer the four
cent gasoline tax to vote of the
people. Byrne ruled them insuffi-
cient but was overruled by the SUI
preme court. Lemke led the fight
for the petitions and was credited
with leading the opposition to Byrne.
Conference is Failure
G. N. Lee, Dodge, brought in the
report of the committee of Is that
they could not agree with the Pro-
gressives. He asked that the COM
mittee be discharged, declaring 1--WE
went just as far as we could" but
could not agree.
He said the Progressives desired
to name the governor, but that the
Nonpartisans could not concede this
office.
He stated the Nonpartisans offered
to permit the Progressives to fill the
congressional office, superintendent
of public instruction and attorney
general.
c. W. Fine, Sheyenne, declared the
committee Of Is did not agree unam-
imously on, the plan outlined by Lee.
The convention voted to discharge
the committee.
After the vote was taken, Fine said
he did not believe the Nonpartisan
committee went far enough" He
suggested friendly resolution be
adopted in behalf of the Progressives.
A motion by p. H. Miller, WASH
burn, to extend thanks to the Pro-
gressives was unanimously adopted.
The convention adopted a resolu-
ton opposing proposed constitutional
amendments to increase the number
