We h ive been asked to gi/e j
publicity to the fact that the ;
Clerk of che Court will be here!
some time next week to grant
citizenship papers to aliens who
desire to become Americans.
Up t > date sixteen applications
are on file, sixteen pitriotic A
laskans who are willing to re
nounce their King and country
& become part of this..
Tnese sixteen men have bien ,
associated with Alaska for a
number of years, are fully con
versant with its federal and lo
cal laws and are now beginning
to realize that to have a direct
voice in all matters appertaining
to their welfare the/ should
i
have the right to vote.
Sixteen votes make a huge
majority, large enough to over
throw a candidate aspiring to
the highest position in Alaska.
We trust that they will realize
when the time comes to cast
their ballots, what a tremendous j
power they have at their com-j
mand and will use the same
judgement in voting on matters
that are of vital i nterest to them
selves as they have hitherto
used in their own business.
