C. 0.P. MAY BACK
JUDGE CL.ECC FOR
DELEGATE POST
Convention Here Proposes
Liquor Referendum
Against Unicameral

Definitely opposing a unicameral,
or one-house legislature, and pro-
posing a referendum on liquor Ito
determine whether the people in
Alaska favor prohibition, Terri
torial control and Territorial liquor
stores. or the present local option
laws" the Republican Territorial
Convention completed its platform
Saturday night and adjourned
without endorsing any candidates
Report was prevalent today that
Judge Clegg of Fairbanks was be-
ing considered by all c. o. P. fac
lions as the probable Republican
candidate for Delegate to Con-
gress.
The platform as adopted by the
convention follows:
We advocate the return of our
people to the principles of govern
ment established in the Constitu-
tion of the United States and in
the Republican Party as founded
by Abraham Lincoln. We re-affirm
our confidence in the Supre e
Court of the United States as our
greatest bulwark of freedom and
insist that it shall remain un-
hampered by political dictation.
We condemn the administration
of Franklin d. Roosevelt and of
the New Deal as subversive of
constitutional principles, opposed
to the liberties of our citizens, and
contrary to all those things which
have guaranteed the freedom of
our people and promoted the great
ness of our nation,
We condemn the administration
of the affairs of the Territory of
Alaska by the Democratic Legis-
lature and officials, as inefficient
and extravagant.
Territorial Government
We again recomend the estab-
lishment of full territorial form
of government in Alaska. None are
so well qualified to determine poll
cies of government and direct it as
people who live in the Territory.
They are familiar with conditions
and they are vitality interested in
good government and territorial
growth.
Unicameral Legislature
We oppose unicameral, or one
house legislature, as proposed in
the Dimond referendum, as being
American and contrary to a
Democratic form of government.
Fisheries, Fur and Game
The Territorial Legislature should
have power to legislate on the
fisheries, fur and game animals of
Alaska, and all needful subjects of
legislation.
Statehood
We pledge the candidate of the
Republican Party for Delegate to
Congress to advocate and work I'M
cessingly for statehood for Alaska,
and our members of the Legisla-
ture to adopt all proper measures
in aid thereof.

FDR VETOES
HOUSE BILL

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt today vetoed the
House Bill recommending the hour
ly pay of part time charmen and
charwomen in the Post Office De-
partment be raised.
The bill recommended pay in
creaseS per hour from rrsty cents to
fitty-tive cents for charmen, and
from 55 cents for charwomen to go
cents.
President Roosevelt objected to
the measure because the increase in
pay would apply to but one branch
OF the Government without apply
ing to other branches.

Anti-Monopoly Strategy;
Just What Does 1t Mean?
By MORGAN M. BEATTY
AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Jan. II. The
official explanation for the New
Deals anti-monopoly campaign ir
the face of the business recession is
simple:
High prices fixed high by
monopoly forced consumers
to buy less. Result: the recess
sion. Thus an attack on mono
poly at this time is logical.
But veteran politicians, always
squirting between lines for bidder
motives, can figure out other rea-
sons why it would be expedient now
to campaign against monopoly
Here are some of the possibilities
they will outline, privately = anc
you can take them or leave them.
i. Monopoly is one sure-fire
issue any political party can
raise to rally its warning
factions.
NEARLY every Republican and
Democratic platform in the last
half century has deplored the
evils of monopoly and trusts.
That's because big business is
convenient political whipping
boy among nearly all classes of
voters, especially farmers, work
ers. and conservative southern
Democrats)
2. If the Democratic party does
not act Immediately TO pre-
vent price fixing by big bust
ness, the Republicans may
grab the issue as their own.
(Former President Herbert
Hoover recently told the Repub-
lican party to write regulation
of business" into a declaration
of party principles. Said he:
I'VE must compel competition
in a large area of business.
1t is the motive power of pro-
gress. -
8. A few monopoly scalps to
dangle before the eyes of the
voters might help the Demo-
cratic party in the 1888 Con-
gressiOnai elections, and
again in the Presidential race
i'm 1910.
(After all, it would be much
easier, politically. to show vot-
ers how big business was tanned,
than to explain why the 1887
Congress failed-if it does fail
to pass the New Deal pro-
gram)

ROOSEVELT TO
MEET WITH BIC
BUSINESSMEN
Probably to Hold Confer

Salesmanship

WASHINGTON, Jan. IT. The
White House has announced that
President Roosevelt will meet With
the heads of eight auto manu-.

While the purpose of the con-
ference is unannounced, it is gen.
orally believed that President
Roosevelt wants to discuss means
of preventing high pressure sell
ing of cars, probably through the
adoption of rules governing a less
ening of liberal credit.

Press Association and all other social
ly minded citizens of our state were
taking seriously the growing desire Of
fair and considerate treatment and
fair proportion of the profits of bust
ness and industry"
Citing a need for a wage payment
and collecting law, Fletcher said that
there were still places in this State
where a worker rarely experiences
the feel of real money" The COM
missioner explained that in such
cases the worker buys at the COM
pany store where prices are "gener-
ally well above" what he would pay in
an independent store.
! I'm fairness to the worker" he
said, wages should be paid only in
cash and he should be free to pur-
chase the necessities of life where
soever he pleases."
Fletcher said he hoped his depart
ment could offer to the next General
Assembly an arbitration and concilia-
ton law that will place North Caro-
lima alongside the fine group of 20 or
more states that now have such
law"
He urged extension of the Unem-
ployment Compensation Act to in
clude business employing less than
eight persons, and State wages and
hours law for workers in intrastatc
commerce.
He defended the Unemployment
Compensation plan, though he said
he sympathized with complaints
against taxation of the wise, the
prudent, the cautious" in order 60
"pamper and wet-nurse industries
that ought to die if they can't stand
en- their own feet :"
However, he said the Unemploy-
ment Compensation Commission, o:
which he is a member, is working on
problems arising from that objection.
