IMatfonn Adopted
We, the people of the First judi
cial division, Territory of Alaska,
realizing that the real interests
of the territory would be l>63
•served by a non-partisan leglsla
lure comprising citizens who are
, ot bound by partisan political

.September 1914, and s.gned b>
| the nominees of that convention:
We pledge the nominees of tnis
convention to confine tlieir efforts ia
this campaign to the election of t e
non-partisan ticket, and that they
will refrain from campaigning for
any candidate for delegate for con
gress, though we expect each nomi
nee to vote for whatever cong.es
sional candidate ho shall^see f t.
Flsli Conservation
We believe the canning and con
serving of fish as a food product
constitutes one of the great Indus
tries of this territory and that here
after the canners and the fisher
men should be permitted to carry
oi, the Industry under such reason
able regulations as will permit the
highest development of the i,ldU6tr>''
compatible with tho protection of
tho supply of the fish so that tne
industry will not be destroyed.
We favor the passage of a work
man's compensation act which w
provide an inexpensive, simple
speedy method for the submission
and determination of claims aga n.
employers by employes for personal
injury and we favor the creation of a
commission In each of th^ ju
<14visions for the purpose of settling,
determining, adjusting and enforc
ing such claims between employers
and employes similar to the leg» »
lion now in force in many ot the
6tates.
Would Separate First Dlvlslon
We favor separate and compl
autonomy for Division Number One.
We favor control of the sale
splrltous liquors by laws passed }

We believe that the municipal
ties of the tenltory should be al
lowed to issue bonds for school
and municipal purposes.
Favor Woman Suffrage
We endorse the woman suffrage
law passed by Alaska's first legisia
