ASKS AUTHORITY
 FOR ALASKANS TO GOVERNOR

A Memorial urging Congress to bestow on Alaskans the right to elect their Governor, was to have been introduced in the House of Representative this afternoon by Charles w. Brown, of Nome. The House at 3 o'clock was in Commit tee of the Whole and it was thought possible that the Memorial might be carried over, until tomorrow s session.
 MT. Browns Memorial declares:
 Whereas, the Government of the United States is founded upon this principle of democ- racy that the responsible off cors shall be chosen by the respective units over which they exercise authority, and
 Whereas, it is conceded that this principle, known as the rule by the majority, is the most conducive to peace, pros perity and the contentment of all citizens, and strictly in ac- cord with the spirit of the Con stitution of the United States, and
 Whereas, the Congress of the United States has not yet con sidered the time ripe for granting Alaska the full meas ure of Statehood enjoyed by other units of our government, and yet beliveing that Congress has full sympathy for the de- sire of Alaska to exercise the privilege of self-government to the fullest extent possible,
 Now, therefore, we your me- morialists respectfully represent that the Congress of the United States enact a law permitting the citizens of Alaska either through their Legislature or by direct vote at their general el- ection to nominate the person whom they prefer for their Gov ernor, which nomination shall then be confirmed by the Presi- dent of the United States.
