patient struggle, in obtaining a lo
cal government of, by and for the
people
iieuizing that the Home Rul<
Party is the only organization of
noil partisans that has continuously.
. onstantly and consistently been
steadfast in its elforts to resist the
hi p-r Ism mac Inethat unde. 11 any
disgui*<<8 and by many subterfuges
itas for thirty years conspired to
thwart the people of Alaska in ob
taining the plain rights that have
cvir hot mi acrorded to American
citizens, on,- organization now plac
es its cand. dates in the field in the
lull liellef that Ihe people of South
eastern Aluska will not choose
their representatives from the ranks
of a combination that, regardless of
iliaa or dingulse, has persistently
pursued a policy of false pretense
and treachery. We deplore so-call
ed non-partisan movements which
!??? ossnrily means movements with
out definite policy and would allow
\laska to drift Into conditions that
have disgraced most of the new
-tales of the country, making them
pocket boroughs of wealthy Inter
? sis. Having never wavered In Its
struggle to force the concession of
.'II its just demands our organiza
tion re<-on firms the pi. inks of all its
previous platforms and hereby
pledges its candidates to use their
utmost efforts to obtain the pasj
m< and adoption of the following
