The commiftee on cre- . dentials reported promptly and work began in a short time after the delegates met. The platform adopted by the convention ‘condemns ‘‘one-man administration” of Alaskan fish- eries and urges the transfer the fisheries administration the Territorial Legislature. Other planks favor Territorial control of all resources ng bona fide Alaskans administrative posts; construction of airplane landing fields throughout the Territory; the continuation of road and| trail wotk with participation in national highway construction programs; liberal appropriations for the improvement of harbors and Wwaterways; a square deal for both labor and capital in Alaska; of to extension of the United States| mail service by the utilization as mail carriers, wherever prac- ticable, all steamship lines, mot- or Doats, airplanes, and stage lines, and the extension of the parcel post zonme system to the Territory; continued operation| of the Alaska Railroad and lib- eral appropriations for its main- tenance; two additional Coast| Guard cutters for year-round op- | s: * erations in Southwestern Alaska; || the encouragement of agriculture, fur farming and the utilization of Alaskan products wherever possible; turning over to the Territory the proceeds from the sealing industry of the Pribilof Islands; liberal appropriations for Federal and Territorial schools. The convention censured cen- tralized government and bureau- cratic control of the Territory. The issue or great importance, it declared, is re-establishment of local home rule which, it added, is possible only through complete recognition of the conditional provision that all powers mnot specifically granted to the Fed- eral Government is reserved to the separate States, and the ap- " plication of the Jeffersonian prin- ciples of State Rights. Greatest National Issue State Rights, declared the con- vention, is the greatest natlonal issue before the American peopie today It added that Gov. Smith #-"*{§ The 'leéading natlonal candidate|is the outstanding affair on the| of the Democrats on account of his advocacy of it, and his out- standing courage and honesty, demonstrated in long public serv- fce and leadership. John W. Troy was Chairman of the Platform Committee on which J. J. Connors was also a member. A spirited fight took place in the convention over the Smith endorsement. It was led by Rev. Graham, Methodist preacher, of Seward, who held the proxy of ‘John Coffey, Kodiak, and who is a Catholic. Hess, Fairbanks, RIS tamous Harry K. Thaw, taken at B over a cafe, | Jooks like a million do!
