Declares
 Conspiracy

In a statement made this week in Juneau, Attorney General John Rustgard charges that he is a victim of the national ad- ninistratiOn which seeks his defeat. In his outbreak, Mir Rustgard declares: The public seems imbued with idea that I am no longer a candidate for the office of Attorney General for the Territory. I am still a candidate and hope that my friends will not forget that fact. My name is before the Senate but no confirmation is likely to occur before the Primary elec- tion and if, in the meanwhile, if I am defeated at the primary, I will probably not be confirmed. It is regrettable that. the ap- pointment was made ust before the primary. The vacancies at Nome and Fairbanks have ex- isted for nearly two years and to one who does not know the in side workings, it would look as though they might have been held open another two weeks. Under the present conditions they are certainly misleading large percentage of voters.
 My appointment happened so nicely timed that news there of caught the last mail to Penin- isula points and other outlying precincts. The people there will think that I am out of the race and have no means of counter acting the effect either by mail or telegraph. This is bound to lose me hundreds of votes. Not only is confirmation uncertain but it will probably depend upon the results of the primary.
 At the beginning of the pre- sent session of Congress two bills were introduced at the request of the Department of Justice to abolish the Second Judicial Di- vision and the Department de- clines to express any opinion as to the probable fate of the two
 bills.

Wednesday night the Parent Teachers Association met in the school auditorium in their regu- lar monthly meeting. Elections of officers for the ensuing year were held and the final vote stood p for Mrs. Hungerford and q for Mrs. Harold Lee. Mrs. Lee had previously served as president of the organization.

By unanimous ballot Mrs. JohanSen was elected vice president. The office of secretary treasurer was OOAAlC WAAdU AAhC d UCPNA1lASA -14O one wanted it despite the fact that several were nominated.

Grigsby, Veteran
 Campaigner Sets
 Forth Platform

George B. Grigsby, the Will liam Jennings Bryan of the Alaska Democratic party, and at present candidate for nomina- ton for delegate to congress has set forth his platform to the voters. It is published in these columns.
 MI. Grigsby served as district attorney at Nome, later was at torney general for the Territory. Upon the death of MT. Sulzer a special election was called to elect another in place of Sulzer who claimed the election. Judge WickerSham refused to permit t his name on the ballot as he declared that he was the duly elected delegate. Congress sub sequently ruled Wickersham the delegate from Alaska. For 6 number of years Grigsby was more Or less inactive but finally measured strength with Dan Sutherland. He lost out and has been a perennial candidate for the office since. Many of his staunchest supporters of other days have forsaken his efforts and are lining up with MT. Ziegler.
 The following is MT. Grigsby's $ platform:
 q am in favor of the direct Primary law and absolutely op~ posed to it's repeal.
 T consider the future admin iStration of the Fisheries in Alaska the big issue of the cam paign. Am utterly opposed to the present bureaucratic control.
 T am in favor of the aboli- ton of Fish Traps, and as the most effective means to this end, will, if elected, work for the transfer of all Federal conteol of the Fisheries to the Alaska Ter ritorial Legislature. I believe this can be accomplished with the advent of a Democratic ad- nlinistration, which now seems assured.
 T will do my utmost to put the Bureau of Fisheries out cf business in the Territory of Alaska, except for the purpose of scientific research.
 T am opposed to all forms Of Bureaucratic government. No Federal Bureau should have any power of legislation whatever.

 T am opposed to the Pinchot theory of conservation as ap- piled to Alaska, believing that nature and economic conditions present sufficient barriers to the development of the Territory without additional restrictions TT h e Alaska Legislature should have complete control ot Game and Fur-bearing animals
 "The Democratic doctrine of States Rights, advocated for the past one hundred years, is par ticularly applicable to this Ter r:tOrV. We should be accorded Home Rule in the Territory, eX- cept on all subjects of legisla- ton purely Federal.
 T have not recently adopted the above platform but have Campaigned on the same plat form for three successive cam paignS, each time gaining more votes, and in the last election was beaten by my Republican opponent by only two hundred and ninety-six votes. I believe those who vote in the Demo- cratic Primary all desire to nominate the candidate who has the best chance of success at the election this coming November. I will not, in this message, or elsewhere, reflect on the merits of the opposing candidates for the Democratic nomination However, the friends who have urged me to again become a candidate, and I, myself, believe, that my past record in office, as United States Attorney, as At torney General, and Delegate to Congress, the wide acquaintance obtained by my successive cam paigns, 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"

The Killing of Two-t1irds Rule Has Split Delegation
After Delegation and Roosevelt Is Not So Sure

Convention Stadium, Chicago,
June 27.-UP)-Demo open

in the spirit of a battle royal.
Uncertainty and fight marked the
gathering In Chicago's giant flag
draped stadium.
Franklin u. Roosevelt, viewed
hitherto as virtually certain Of VIC
tory in the two thirds rule fight
and for the nomination, was seri-
ously handicapped by overnight de-
yelopments.
A sharp fight brewed over the
Roosevelt attempt to kill the two
thirds rule. It's death would per-
nit him to swing the nomination
with u majority-578-of the dele
gates. Many delegations fought 1t
bitterly. Men, fresh from the
home districts, did not fall in with
the Roosevelt plans for sweeping
away the ancient rule. Moreover,
fluctuations shortly before the con-
vention opened, showed he still had
not achieved enough delegates to
put him across with two thirds

thirds rule.

Roosevelt's manager, James A.
| Farley, announced his troops would
go onward in battle, and he claim
ed they would win the two thirds
rule struggle, and the nomination.
Roosevelt forces received another
setback in their rule fight when
| Michigan voted Is IL to 16 IL on
the question of abandonment. No
unit rule will control this vote, so
that the Roosevelt forces lose
16 1-2 votes on which they had
counted.
Samuel Seabury, prosecutor of
Mayor Jimmy" Walker of New
York, was active in the move to
stop Governor Roosevelt's nominal
ton. He is hopeful of beating the
governor, whom he has accused Of
being slow to act in the Tammany
situation, which he Investigated In
New York.
Seabury, who bitterly denounced
the attempt to defeat the two
thirds rule, conferred today with
"favorite son" candidates in an at
tempt to unite their forces more
closely.

Fifteen minutes after the first
call for order the aisies were still
choked, and delegates were squirm-
ing back and forth in confusion.
Police were shouting at them. but
having little successes, finally, the
of the hall were brought
into play, urging prompt clearing
of aisles.
Loud applause came from the
New York delegation when the
leader of Tammany hall. John +.
