Selecting Alaska’s Constitutional
Convention Delegates
(Editor’s Note: With the en-«
couragement of the Governor of
Alaska and the urging of the All
Alaska League for a State Con
stitution, Dr. Donald R. Moberg
has written this series of articles
concerning selection of Alaska’s
constitutional convention dele
gates. The purpose is to alert the
citizens of Alaska to the immedi
ate need of selecting suitable can
didates from all walks of life.
The political scientist also wrote
the informative articles to help
ensure that delegates will be
elected in the September 13, 1955,
special election who will repre
sent the best interests of all
Alaska).

site.
CONCLUSION
May 10, the closing date for
filing as a delegate, will soon be
upon us. No time must be lost in
urging sincerely interested and
qualified persons to file. It would
be highly desirable for all walks
of Alaskan life to be represented,
thereby helping to create a truly
balanced, stable state govern
ment.
Therefore, my special personal
plea and that of the All-Alaska
League for a State Constitution
is that all major interest groups
in the territory—business, labor,
education, religious, civic, wo
men’s clubs, etc.—sponsor a can
didate of their own, either at the
divisional or territorial level.
It would not be desirable for
the 40 members of the 22nd Ter
ritorial Legislature plus 15 Re
publican and Democratic politi
cians disappointed at the last
election to comprise the 55-mem
ber convention. Of course, in
practice, the majority of conven
tion delegates has been lawyers
and/or politicians. And they are
desirable and needed, but not as
an overwhelming majority.
But if no interest group can
persuade one of its members to
run, then the organization should
carefully choose and wholeheart
edly support a 'delegate who will
pledge himself to faithfully rep
resent the group’s interests.
However, in this desire for all
round representation of major
interest groups, the primary goal
must not be neglected. The con
vention must not degenerate into
a bitter factional feud, but must
rise above parties and special in
terests. The heartfelt aim of ev
ery Alaskan should be the crea
tion of such a favorable state gov
ernment that Alaska can more
rapidly realize its great potential.

JUNEAU—Dr. Oscar E. Hub
bard, psychiatrist, is due to arrive

Department of Health mental
health section on July 1, Dr. C.
Earl Albrecht, commissioner of
helath, announced this week.

tory from Albuquerque, New
Mexico,, where he is chief of

and New Mexico since 1946 with

The ‘wise guy” who is never
wrong should be left alone.
