Urges Big Turnout
At Polls Sept. 13
Mrs. Mildred Hermann, well
known Juneau attorney and can
didate at large for the Constitu
tional Convention, is visiting for
a few days with her son, Rus
Hermann, and family and is tak
ing care of business in this area.
Mrs. Hermann stated that in
terest in the convention is not a
matter of believing in statehood
but to prepare a constitution for
whenever Alaska reaches that
status, whether it is the next year
or ten years from now.
“Personally, I believe that the
constitution should be short and
flexible, a framework for the leg
islative sessions to build upon,”
she said.
She also stressed the importance
of a heavy vote to show the inter
est of Alaskans in the future of
the territory. “There never was
nor will be a more important con
vention in Alaska than the state
hood convention,” she said.
Mrs. Hermann leaves for Fair
banks early next week to be par
liamentarian for the Nurses’ Con
vention for the fourth consecutive
year.
