A Convention Call.
THE CITIZENS OF ALASKA:

To THE CITIZENS OF ALASKA:
 The necessity for united action on the part of the citizens of Alaska on the important questions pertaining to the District, now being agitated, and the urgent need for deciding what is to be demanded, as right, from Congress, prompts this call for non-partisan convention composed of delegates elected by the people.
 Such a convention met in Juneau October, 1899, and much was accom- plished of benefit to the District. But feeling remains that we have not our constitutional rights. It is to get in- telligent united action on all questions pertaining to the present or future welfare of the District that the District Central Committee, selected by the above mentioned convention, calls upon duly qualified and instructed delegates of the whole of Alaska, to meet in person and without proxies, at the city of Juneau on Monday, the 26th day of October, 1903, at 10o'clock a. m ., in a non. partisan convention, to delib- crate and take such action on all ques tions that may be brought up, as to them may seem wise.
 The following apportionment of dele gates has been agreed to by the com mittee:

 Any question as to unfair represen- tation of locality in the apportion- ment of delegates, may be laid before the convention for decision, and any locality overlooked by the committee can feel assured that any delegation they send, based on representation of one delegate to every 250 or major fraction thereof, will be seated.
 Hold election for delegates before October l, and send duplicate creden- tials, immediately after election to the Secretary of the committee.
