KAN AND PASS RESOLUTIONS
KETCHIKAN*-—Democrats in the
division named AI Smith as
their choice for the party Presiden
tial; candidate.
“The RepuMkfcu' misrule in the
fisheries of Alaska” was denounced
in n resolution which declared the
entire administration of this most im
portant resource of the Territory has
beep concentrated in the hands of one
individual with full power to legislate,
regulate anil prohibit.”
The resolution recommeends that
' he fisheries jurisdiction bo trans
ferred from the Department of Com
merce to the Alaska Legislature and
hat the present regulations, just de
clared, be inefficient and unintelligent,
respiting in gross injustice and favor
itism with respect to another plan.
The resolution took cognizance of
the; herring shortage and “we recog
nize conservation o^ herring is vital to
the halibut and salmon industries, and
we ,are opposed to the wanton de
struction of the herring supply."
“We look forward to statehood for
Alaska in the near future. Prepara
tory to Statehood the Territory
should be accorded the fullest meas
ursv of Territorial self-government,
including etjntrof the fisheries,,
game, and government power to be
vested in the county organization
wherever d^siranle and representa
tion on the Legislature according to
ooqulatian.”
