Two Propositions Up
to Voters in November
Id all probability the women voters
of the Territory will turn out at the
November election in greater numbers
than ever before. There will be a lit
tle proposition put up to them that will
be somewhat personal and which will
directly atlect their future existencoin
some particulars.
Thev will be called upon to vote for
or against a law requiring women to
serve as jurors in Alaska.
At tbe l*st Legislature there was a
move to pass a law requiring women as
well as men to serve as jurors. Tbe
objection was advanced by some that
this will be distasteful to a great ma
jority of the women. It was then de
cided before passing an act that the
question should be submitted to the
women for their decision
According to an act passed stating
“That there shall be submitted to the
female electors of the Territory at the
next general election the (.question
whether or not they are in favor ofj a
law requiring women to-serve-as jur
ors.’’. The further provision is made
that a separate ballot shall be distrib
uted to female voters on.which they
shall designate their choice.
It is further provided that if a ma
jority favor tne law “the first [Legisla
ture in session arier sucn election shall
pass an act appropriately expressing
the wish of said electors.”
Governor Higgs vetoed this act, but
it Jwas passed over his veto by both
branches, in tne tiouse tbe- vote was
11 to 5; in the Senate, 7 to 1.
Another act which was passed' by’the
last Legislature, and which is not now
remembered by many, allows the elect
ors of the Territory to iudicate their
preference for the person who shall be
appointed Governor of the Territory.
Thisjlaw is operative in the primary'
and general election in 1924 and every
four years thereafter.
It is designed to have the several

parties make their choice at the pri
mary just as is done for Delegate, and
then at the November election to get
the choice of the majority of ail the
voters. A section then prescribes:
“The Secretary of thei Territory of
Alaska shall on the 4th day..of March
following the election certify, the-result
of such election to the President-of the
United States, and the -person receiv
ing the highest number .of, votes for
