This year, with 15 candidates running, Libertarian Party officials say they expect to pick up three or four additional seats in the Legislature. And Randolph, 46, is running to succeed retiring Republican Gov. Jay Hammond.

Nationally, the Libertarian Party, which considers itself the countrys third largest political party, says it will make its.views heard in 1982 as never before, even if it fails to score many electoral victories. The party says it will have at least 21 gubernatorial candidates on ballots this year, and will have candidates running for enough offices to give 75 percent of the voters a chance to vote for at least one Libertarian. All told, the party says, 900 to 1,000 advocates of the Libertarian philosophy will be on American ballots in 46 states. That philosophy advocates near absolute laissez faire: a free market economy and, no government restrictions on personal behavior which does not infringe on other peoples' rights. Libertarians would limit government to the single task of protection pro- tecting the country's from foreign attack and protecting people from crime.

The partys first presidential candidate, John Hos-pers, ran in 1972 on the ballots of two states and won 5,000 votes. In 1980, Libertarian presidential candidate Ed Clark, an antitrust lawyer with Atlantic Richfield in California, became the first third-party candidate in history to get on the ballot of every state. In what was a five-man race, he won 882,000 votes, and finished fourth behind Republican Ronald Reagan, Democrat' Jimmy Carter and independent John Anderson, but well ahead of Barry Commoner, the candidate of the Citizens Party. In the off-year elections of 1981, the party says, Libertarians running chiefly in non-partisan races for municipal offices won 15 elections in nine states. Few Libertarians can boast of Randolphs stature in Alaska as a serious candidate who is spared the indignities usually inflicted on third-party candidates in other states.

Randolph is routinely included in every forum for gubernatorial candidates, along with Democratic nominee Bill Sheffield and Republican Tom Fink. His pronouncements are treated with the same deference as theirs, and nearly everybody recognizes his name. Randolph can hardly be considered the favorite, but in a state where bizarre elections, multiple candidates and photo finishes are the rule, the possibility of an upset Libertarian victory cannot be ruled out especially in a four-way race with more than half of Alaskas voters registered as independents. Randolphs major opponents concede that his theme of individualism strikes a responsive chord with many Alaskans. "I think we Alaskans kind of represent a free outlook on life.

Theres a desire to do our own thing, more than in any other state, says Sheffield, the Anchorage hotel chain owner who spent more than $1.1 million and won the Democratic nomination by 259 votes. think Alaskans tend to be independent," says Fink, the conservative Republican nominee. Fink says Randolphs positions on social issues seem similar to those of traditional Democrats, while his pleas for a free market economy and less government sound like the Republican that Randolph once was. The fourth gubernatorial candidate is Joseph Vogler of, Fairbanks, representing the small Alaskan Independence Party. In his campaign, Randolph stresses a need to get Alaskas plentiful public lands and natural resources into private hands so that individuals rather than the state can benefit from development.
