lew Political Party
Jtatounced in Alaska
Formation of an independent
4Alaskan Party, originating in the
Ffatnuska Valley, has been an
nounced by Ben Hitchcock of
•Caribou Creek, who also an
nounces that he will be a candi
date for the Territorial Legisla
ture on the Alaskan Party ticket
in 1958.
The general program of the
-Alaskan Party was r:—r.-n u** ”
« series of informal meetings
’held in the Third and Fourth Di
* visions during the past few
months. The program embodies
the same principles on which
'Hitchcock campaigned for the
legislature as an Independent
during the 1958 campaign.
“The Alaskan Party will con
cern itself primarily with Alas
Ifcaun affairs, and with only those
national issues that directly af
fect Alaska,” Hitchcock stated.
"Our purpose in forming is to
^provide representation for an es
'somtially Alaskan viewpoint
'which is now neglected,” Hitch
cock said. “We believe that vital,
‘creative new thinking is impera
tive in modern politics. The Alas
kan party will seek to bring out
diverst' ideas in order to gain
rum-partisan consideration of is
sue.
“We will resist all dogma from
-either left or right, in favor of
eommon-sense and experience,
and will stay entirely away from
an enforced party line, or such
other devices of so-called ‘party
unity’ which too often stifle free
thought and discussion,” he stat
ed
Hitchcock expects to hold con
tinued small informal meetings,
in the Third Division this winter
and spring, A Territorial conven
tion in Palmer this winter is be
ing considered, he said. Mean
while, a specific program for pre
sentation to the 1959 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
dum; 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
cluding rural areas and small
towns; encouragement of small,
independent enterprise; voluntary
cooperation and social gains with
out regimentation.
“Actually, we care more about
the democratic solution of issues,
with people making their own
choices, than we do about specific
outcomes. Fundamentally, the
Alaskan Party seeks within Al
aska a more satisfactory adjust
ment in the relationship between
