STRONG MAY CALL
NEW ELECTION
To Fill Vacancy of J. J. Mulalley in
Alaska Legislature if Special
Session is Called.
I
According to tile Fairbanks Times (
of January 3d, in the event of a
special session of the Alaska legis
lature being called to consider ways
and means of enforcing the laws of
(he territory, Governor Strong con
templates calling a special election in |
Fairbanks to fill the vacancy of J. J. j
Mulalley, who was elected a member I
of the House of Representatives but 1
refused to qualify, thus leaving the!
Fourth division short of its full rep
resentalion. The Times says:
Representative Dan Driscoll reeeiv j
ed a letter from Governor Strong, in |
which the chief executive stated that :
he would call a special election in ■
the Fourth judicial division before
calling an extraordinary session of the
legislature. Many people of the
Fourth division, and especially mem
bers of the Socialist party, contend
that it is necessary to elect a new
representative to take the place of
Representative J. J. Mulalley, who re
signed before taking the oath of of
flee.
The letter from the governor was
as follows:
Juneau, January 12, 1914.
Hon. Dan Driscoll, Fairbanks, Alaska.
My Dear Sir: I have your favor of
the 27th ultimo, enclosing letter from
John N. Gonna with reference to
calling a special election for repre
sentative to the territorial legislature
from the Fourth judicial division,
where - vacancy now exists. I shall
secure legal advice upon this matter,
and if a special election is impera
tive in case that an extraordinary ses
sion of the legislature should be call
ed, I shall order a special election lo
fill the vacancy. Yours very truly.
J. F. A. STRONG, Governor.
