Mayor Denounces Representatives for Alaska Memorial
Mayor Lee C. Bettinger blasted seven Democratic Third Division representatives on Thursday for introducing a memorial in the Territorial House calling for Alaska to become a republic if statehood fails. He warned proponents of secession would use it against statehood and urged the Chamber of Commerce to oppose the measure.
