ALAsKANs HOLD NO OTHER
 ALLEGIANCE

To hold the position of Alaska Indians in political affairs as anal ogous to that of the Onondagas is to discredjt the Alaskans. They accepted with joy and hold with pride their citizenship of the United States. They have no tribal entity and no tribal recognition has ever been given them. They asked no fav o1s of their government and have had to demand their rights.
 We scorn any citizenship that swears allegiance to the United Sta es but makes mental reserva- tion of allegiance to mother country -5e it Indian or any other. We therefore as good citizens accept the duty and responsibility of election as part of that citizenship, We are of the governed and We hold it OIL right to say who shall govern. A light gccd Jeffersonian theory. The editorial force of the Empire are drunk with their duplicity and bigotry. They would tell but part of the truth. It is not in them to tel it all. Therefore we pass on that part which they have omitted beca use it would not fit their un- Americah political doctrine.
