DELEGATE fffl) ALASKA
President Roosevelt asks that congress
provide this district with representa
tion in that body-He favors one chosen
Washington, Dec. ? In his annual message, which was deliveted to congress yester
day, President Roosevelt strongly urged that Alaska be given a delegate in congress. The
president said;
"I earnestly ask thai Alaska be given an elective delegate in congress. Some per
son should be chosen by the people who can speak with authority of the needs of the ter
ritory. "
Speaking further of Alaskan legislation the president said:
"The government should aid in the construction of a railway from the Gulf of
Alaska to the Yukon river in American territory.
4 In my last two messages I advocated certain additional legislatiou for Alaska. I
should not now repeat those recommendations, but I will lay all my stress upon the re
commendation of giving Alaska some one, authorized to speak for it. I should prefer that
the delegate was made elective but if this is not deemed wise then make him appointive.
! At any rate give Alaska some one authorized to speak with authority on her behalf in con
' gress.
"The natural resources of Alaska are great. Some of the chief needs of the pecu
liarly energetic, self-reliant and typically American white population of Alaska were set
forth in my last message. I also earnestly ask your attention to the needs of the Alaskan
Indians. All Ihdians who are competent should receive the full rights of American
| citizenship. It is, for instance, a gross and indefensible wrong to deny to such hard
working, decent living Indians as the Metlakahtlas the right to obtain licenses as captains
pilots and engineers, the right to enter mining claims and to profit by the homestead laws
These particular Indians are civilized and are competent to be put on the same basis with
the white men round about them."
