Be Candidate For
Alaska Governor
ANCHORAGE. .(/P)—J. C. Mor
ris, Anchorage insurance and real
estate man, announced Monday he
would “bow to demands” and be
come a candidatef for Governor
of Alaska.
Morris said telephone calls, let
ters, endorsements and thousands
of signatures on petitions request
ing his appointment had made it
necessary to “put aside personal
plans my wife and I had made
for ourselves and make myself
available to be the servant of the
people of Alaska.
Morris was listed as an Eisen
hower supporter in the pre-con
vention weeks when Alaska’s Re
publican delegation was commit-,
ted to Sen. Robert Taft for the
presidential nomination.
He is the third prominent Re
publican to openly enter the con
test for governor. The earlier
avowed candidates were Ralph
Lomen of Nome and Seattle and
Maurice Johnson. Fairbanks.
Among organizations endorsing
Morris are the Citizens-for-Eisen
hower Clubs of the territory and
the Veterans of Foreign Wars
Denali post here.
Morris, who previo'sly had indi
cated he would not seek the ap
pointment to replace Democratic
Gov. Ernest Gruening, said he
believed Alaska statehood was
“within our reach.”
“We must close our ranks, put
aside personal animosities and go
forward with a united front to
secure statehood at the earliest
possible date,” he said. “United
for statehood we can secure great
er benefits when it is achieved
than would otherwise be the case.
