Bartlett Against
Vote In House
WASHINGTON, </P) — Delegate
Bartlett of Alaska said he is
against a bill by Senator Butler
(R.-Neb.) which would give voting
privileges in the House to the
Delegates from Alaska and Ha
waii.
The Delegates now can take part
in debates but have no vote.
“Alaska is now in the submerg
ed status of a colonial dependen
cy,” Bartlett said. i
“Passage of such a bill as that
proposed by Senator Butler would i
ony serve to put us in the never
never land.
“It would provide no answ*er at
all to Alaskan problems. A voting
representative in the House is not
sufficient.
“We must have statehood with
two voting Senators and one vot
ing House member.”
