The general program Of the
Alaskan Party was c11-Ty1 u II
"A series of informal meetings

visions during the past few
months. The program embodies
Eha same principles on which
Hitchcock campaigned for the

other devices of so-called party
unity which too often stifle free
thought and discussion" he stat

Hitchcock expects to hold con-
tinued small informal meetings
in the Third Division this winter
and spring. A Territorial conven-

ing considered, he said. Mean

sentation to the 1859 Legislature
is being developed.
The Party will openly support
candidates and policies Of other
parties, or of Independents whose
aims coincide, it, was announced.
Listed among Alaskan Party
principles are the following:
Public control of government,
with a direct vote on issues
through initiative and referen-
dunn; local autonomy as far as
possible at all levels; individual
and minority rights; simplicity
in government, with tax revision;
basic economic development, to
support an Alaska population, in
Guiding rural areas and small
towns; encouragement of small,
independent enterprise; voluntary
cooperation and social gains with

Actually, we care more about
the democratic solution of issues,
with people making their own
choices, than we do about specific
outcoines. Fundamentally, the
