GOVERNOR CLARK'8 REPLY
TO "SQUARE DEAL" CIRCULAR
Iil reply In a circular frmn the
"Square Deal I.oanit'" «>f Seattle,
Governor Clark lias written the
following letter. The governor
perhaps overestiiualed the num
ber of people in I he territory who
are opposed to home rule, hul he
Iasks some questions, the answers
I to which would prohahly cause
II he promoters of the league con
siderable study to make plausible.
\ The letter is addressed I«» Pres
ident I'iggolt and reads as fol
! lows:
| "My Dear Mr. I'iggntl: I have
I received in the mail a copy of ;i
icircular letter hearing dale <»r
II >eceniher. II I,' which bears the
facsimile signature of llufiis H.
Wil.-oii as serretary of the Alas
kan Square I ><•;( 1 l.eague. It is
'not usuallx worth while In reply
to a circular. Inil in this instance
there is a specific invitation to
offer suggestions in regard to the
aims and purposes of the Alaska
Square Deal League, and, more
over. 1 am deeply interested in the
letter and the printed matter
which accompanies it.
"Since I am invited to offer sug
gestions, it is a fair inference
lhal I am invited to express what
ever opinions T may have in the
premises. To put it rather blunt
ly, it is my opinion that the or
ganization which is sending out
this circular letter is not exact
ly worthy of its name—if we are
to judge by the contents of the
circular and its accompanying
printed mailer is that of an elect
ive legislature for Alaska.
"Now there are a great many
people in Alaska who do nol be
lieve at all thai it would bo a
squaro doal lo give this territory
an elective legislature at present.
These people honestly believe I hat
I ho territory would lose moro than
it would pain undor what is com
nionly called 'home rule.' Osten
sibly, the Alaska Square iDeal
League is Iryinpr lo do something
beneficial for Alaska.
"How was it determined that
just such tilings would be bene
ficial for that territory, and just
what thing* would not be bene
ficial? I observe lhal nearly all
of the officers and the members
of the executive committee as
printed on the loiter head of Iho
league, are residents of Pugct
Sound, and not of Alaska. Can
you assure me that all of these
men who are prominent as offi
cers and committeemen in your
league are fully informed as to
the conditions in Alaska, and
whether these conditions war
rant at the present time Hie es
tablishment of an elective terri
torial legislature? I am among
those who appreciate the great
interest shown by the people of
the whole Pacific coast in the de
velopment of Alaska, and your ef
forts fail to be appreciated, if
you champion measures which
are essentially political in char
acter, and upon which the people
of Alaska are themselves divided.
"The most important questions
which concerns Alaska's progress
today are not political questions
;»l nil, and are nol those upon
v hit li the people of Alaska are
M*riously divided in opinion. If
the Alaska Square Deal League
wishes lo accomplish something
beneficial ami useful, would it
nol, in your opinion, entertain a
hotter chance of success if polit
ical questions were.'let alone and
the effort-* of the league directed
towards securing for Alaska those
things which are not matters of
political discussion at all?
"I observe that there are two
organizations in Seattle whose
names indicate that their purpose
is lo secure a square deal for
Alaska. Yet I hear I hat I he two
organizations are not entirely in
harmony with each oilier. The
question naturally arises, since
I hey are not in harmony, which
organization proposes "really lo
gel for Alaska a square ileal; and,
if both are going lo gel a square
deal for us. does one promise any
greater decree of squareness for
us than the other?"
