SPEAKER COLLINS OF HOUSE

SOME IMPORTANT NEWS TO
MRS. ED WlCkERSHAM OF
THIS CITY,
LADIES HERE INTERESTED
BELIEVED PROBABLE THAT SOME
WOMEN OF FAIRBANKS WILL
ENTER RACE IN COMING ELEC.
TON FOR POSITION ON THE
CITY COUNCIL.

! In telegram received from E. b.
| Collins. speaker Of the house of rep
resentatives of the Alaska legisla-
ture, to Mrs. Ed Wickersham of thi-
city, comes the news that the women
OF Alaska have all the political
rights that are enjoyed by men
The telegram implies that it was
due to the discovery Of this facr
| that new bill was not passed at
the present session of the legisl II,
ture permitting women to hold OF
flee and serve on juries.
The news has created much inter
est among the women of the city,
and it seems possible that one OF
more women candidates for the coun-
Gil will appear before the coming
election is held.
Before Mr.. Collins went to thS.
Legislature, he told Mrs. Wicker
sham that he would introduce a bill
in the house of representatives,
which would have for its purpo q
the granting of full citizenship
rights to women. But that was the
last she heard about the matter,
though Mr.. Collins had agreed that
he would inform her about the In
PRODUCTION of tie bill and its fate.
In talking the matter over with
some other ladies Of Fairbanks, it
was decided that Mrs. Wickersham
should send 4 telegram TO Mr. ca
Inns asking him what had been de
eided in regard to giving Ala
women more citizenship rights.
reply to the telegram sent by Mrs
Wickersham, the following was /.
ceived by her from Speaker Collin

mittee. Women have rights y0,

Fairbanks women are taking VI
local political questions with muc
interest within the last few days.
and it is expected that they wiz
ing election. The Civic club, it is
asserted, however, will not enter
politics as an organization.
1t is believed from Mr. Collins
telegram that bill had been intra-
duced in the legislature providing
more political rights for women, an
that VIXEN the bill reached the j.
dietary committee it was decided
that the present law gives them the
full rights of citizenship. and does
not limit their franchise to votin
alone.
