Congressmen considering legislation for
north-Little hope for territorial gov
ernment or representation in congress
Lack of harmony used as excuse
(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan)
Washington, Nov. 28 ? Much speculation is being indulged in over radical or a
comprehensive scheme of legislation for Alaska at the ses^iou of congres which will begin
Monday. All the members who made the trip north last summer aTe united in believing
that something should be doue and each will recommend as an individual what he thinks
the situation demands.
Several congressmen believe the country is too large for territorial government or to
be satisfactorily represented by one delegate in congress.
On the whole it is believed both the question of territorial government and that of
a delegate in congress will receive a set back at this session of cougress. Those who
oppose self-government for Alaska point out the press of the district is not united on re
forms and that the late territorial convention showed a deplorable lack of harmony.
