Glassie Explains Purpose and Effect ' of Constitutional The privilege of veting, while not & right as to the human being. is a right as to & community, Senator Ball, chalrman of the Senate Distriet committee, declared during the course of the publie hearing yesterday aft- erngon on the measures providing for suffrage and reépresentation in Com- gress fos the District.’ Senator ‘Ball has frequently Inter- ted at the hearings that the privi- erday Henry H.

Ayers, fepresenting the unorganized oppesition to any form of suffrage or representation for the Distriet, w. by Semator Bsll, who pointed out that the speaker was arguing against all forms of popular governmert. He said the matter was not pertinent to the inquiry, as popu- lar government was not on trial Glawsie Favers Jones Reselution. Henry H. Glassie, a mtmber of the Joint citizens’ committee, delivered a lengthy argument in favor of the Jones' resolution, which pr es for a constitutional amendme to be submitted to the states, which, If ap- proved, would empower Congresllnw give for presidential electors. J. Milton Waldron, colored pastor of the Shiloh Baptist Church and repre- senting the Alley Improvement Asso- etation, the committee of seven and the Nationel Race Congress. spoke in 1 r of t.th‘“Jolu' resolution and the,Capper bill. Alsu?lln: that it was not the desire of those for whom he spoke to impair, alter or diminish the sovereign power of Congress over the District, Mr. Glassie pointed out that in mo other part of the United States does Cou- gress legislate for the internal affairs of the. states. B In the Distriot of Columbia, he said, there is no relation of life so smail to which Congress’ powers do not ex- tend. Congress, he continued, is called upon to determine everything for every one in the District. while it has no such relation to the states. _ _ Skows Object of Resolution. “I want to show the object of this Jones resolution. In your legislative capacity, in no other paj of the United States do you exefeise that function, not even in the territories. What Iam endeavoring to drive home, | if I can, is that when you flegislate! for the District of Columbia you leg- islate for human beings bound in & certain bond. “Take the organization and admin- istration of government itself. You are called upon to determine all the detailed life of a municipali You are called upon to devise new methods, take property, provide for roads, streets, bridges, education, public utilities—all the details of a modern municipality. In performing that function you do what you are not called upon to perform for any territory. You are a board of direc- tors for this municipal corporatiom. In this matter vour legislative pow- er differs from any other legislative function. “We ask that in performing that function you do it with the aid of the constituted representatives of the people affected. # So far as the or- ganized administration of the local government is concerned, we want no change.” Hr."‘Gll!sie said that he believed Congress could perform its duty bet- ter if it had the voice of local repr sentatives to aid. it. Quissed by Semator Ball Prefacing his remarks with the statement that his mind was open on the* subject, Senator Ball sought to have the speaker enlightem him on the objects for which . the District was laid off. There s one controlling reason, said Mr. Glassie, that was to have in the District of Columbia power vest- ed in one soverign-and not divided. 'We thoroughly .agree as to that, Senator Ball said. That it was the purpose of the founders to deny the citizens td);e off, the home of the governm;m.h those who rticipated in it and those neces- E:ry lon‘:nl\ntlin them?” Senator Ball ked. ‘The intent was,” Mr. Glas plied, “to make it the seat ernment. It was the i ‘Washington and the eom e who laid out the city to. i/ake a city here which would ri in wealth, population and cc==me! the city of London itself. It needs only an ex- amination of the maps to show this. They said that at that time this was the best harbor on the Atlantic coast, the natural exchange point between deep-sea commerce and commerce over the mountains. It was not to harbor clerks. It was advertised abroad. It was the intention to in- vite people here to make it a great commencial emporium. Washington used thése words himself.” “Did those reasons finally decide wupon the location of the seat of gov- ernment here?” queried Senator Ball “Not Intended as Reservation.” “It was the controlling reascn,” answered Glassie. “For ten vears there was bby against its location here. and there was great haste to 1ld it up. to forestall opposition. ‘was never intended that Washing- 7:‘an should be & government reserva- on.” Senator Ball then asked if the land wasn’t donated for a seat of govern- ment. L It was dedicated for a price, he said. He said that the fact that it was the intention to make it'a great eity in which the people could live like hu- man beings cannot be escaped. Asking the speaker why it was established as a city over which Con- jon.” Mr. Glassie continued. ’“_Evg:“ this District was laid « &ress should have control, Mr. Glassie ‘continued: “The founders wanted _the govern- 2 ment to have control and we want it. % 'That point must not be overlooked.

But it isn't representation as con- templated in the states, said Mr. Wald- ron. “While you haven't what I think correctly the history of self-govern-! ment in the D‘Ilt';.l:! of Columbia, the Hom Cosmepeiian The District, camtinwed Mr. Glassie, draws its tion from all parts of the United States.

But as the years go on the relation with their home states be- comes thinner and thinner. If the Dis- trict had representation even they would give up that state relationship.

This is He expressed the belief peo- their home. that there were only 3,000 or 4,000 ple here who went home to vote. Senator Ball challenged this state- ment, saying that about 25,000 or 30,000 people voted at the last elections, by ' [mail, he believed. Mr. Glassie said his figures referred to t who actually went home to vote. He pointed out, however, that even Senator Ball's figures showed that the great majority would cast their votes here. Senator Ball asked Mr. Glassie how ne would define the qualifications for veting here, inquiring particularly as to stons for the Army and Navy, many of whom are resident here for short That matter, responded Mr. Glassle, is one for the exercise of the legisla- tive authority. Congress would es- tablish the qualifications. He pointed out, however, that this idea of a float- ing population was greatly exagger- |ated. Even during the war, when the! number of workers here increased, Mr. Glassie said, most of the increase was right from homes in the District. Race Questio ot am Fasue. Mr. Glassie =aid that there was not & question of any race dominating the vote here. “That question has ne more to do with his matter of votes than has the question as to whether the Lithuan- lans are Poles. The people of the District could handle that question if confromted with it, but it does not face them. Congress must take the word of vol- unteers on District matters that come up now, said Mr. Glassie. There are groups which come up asking for dif- ferent things, he said. They are mere volunteers, and this method is a form of sowietism. He told the committee that they could not determine wheth- er the people were telling the truth, and they did not know that the par- ties who appeared did mot have mental bias on the matters they appeared for or against. “If it wasn't for the idea that the forefathers intended that the people should be voteless you wouldn't hesitate for a moment in giving the vote to the District. There is no his- torical or legal justification for treat- these people as a voteless people. “What we want here is 2 man who can talk face to faco with you on your own footing and vote with or against you, a constitutionally dele- sated authority. We are for a real representative and not & shadow as in, the case of a territorial delegate. You are now the legislative power, but we " want a voice in it.” Mr. Ayers Oppeses Vote. The forefathers never intended that the people of the District should vote, said Mr. Ayers, taking up the argu- ment in opposition to suffrage. It was not included in the organic act and cannot be read into it. A representative of the District in Congress would be inclined to make the federal government pay more and more of the District’s expenses. It would be only natural, he contended. Referring to the suggestion of the: formation of cliques, races and spe- cial interests here he took issue on the matter. The Federation of Citi- zens' Associations, he said, comes very near being & representutive body of all of the people of the District. “From all I know, it is a well rep- resented city now. Many senators own property here and have interests here. A member of this committee is a2 member of a citizens' association. So Congress is as much a part of the city as citizens as those who live here. So much so that they catch the local spirit and local ideas.” N . Preseat Plan Efcient. The mpvernment that. bas been evolved here in the last hundred years is as efficient as can be found any- where, he declared. He said the Constitution was de- bated at great length by the fore- fathers before it was signed, and that never oncé was there anything said about votes for the people of the seat of government. How apy lawyer can come up and make c:tenllon that it was intended to give the people here votes is some thing, he sald, that he could not un- claims to represent 90 per cent of the people. He said he l:litl not be- lieve any one can assume 'to speak for the great majority. He attacked the reported vote on suffrage at a local club, claiming that sixty-five Deople voted on the question, and it owluzhiiz;:bomhn.uhthe unanimous vote ., which, , ha l.i’no ]m;:mber:'. he said, had fully aul E. Lesh of the citizens’ com- mittee asked him if he knew the usual attendance at such meetings, to which he replied in the negative. It seems to me,” continued Mr, Ayers, “a more practical way that it the people come to Congress through the volice of the eitizens’ as- sociations they would get as much as they are entitled to. Comgressmen do not wear herns. They are elected to represent us as well as any one else. The people can get as much from them as from any local repre- sentatives. They get what they come after on the basis of whether it is right or wrong, and that is all that is necessary.¥ Mr. Ayers then began reading a num- ber of “clippings frofi ‘newspapers of election scandals in various parts of the country recently, in refutation of the argument that conditiong that prevailed here in the 70s would not return. Hepg 2Ll Halts Argument. ere Senator Ball = ;r!umm(- ; stopped this line “Your argument is ohe agains popular. forms of ‘ov"nmem'g!fin:;”fl to me,” said Senator Ball. It is not pertinent to this question at all. committee is not considering the ques- tion as to whegher the present form of popular government is wise. I think you are taking unnecessary time in your argument. THere is no question but what your argument is against all popu- lar forms of republican government, I want to give you all the time possible, but it seems to me that those arguments are not pertinent here. All have ad- mitted that the present form of govern- ment in the District is good, and they do 1ot recommend a_change in the local form of government.” Mr. Ayers said that he was against al_l forms of popular government in the District, but Senator Ball insisted that he was following a line of argument against all popular forms of government, and insisted that he desist. t The speaker then launched into a review of conditions here in the seventies, when, he sald, thugs were | b imported from Baltimore to vote and the politiclans placed cannon in the Here Aaron Bradshaw, a lifelong resident, arose from his seat among the spectators, saying: I have lived here for a great many years, but the speaker has given news to me and news to all old residents of the District. Suggests Radical Treatment. Mr. Avers then suggested to the committee an amendment to the measures providing for suffrage which would provide a penalty of one year at hard labor for any one who failed to vote who could not show a 80od reason for not doing so. “I'll see whether you gentlemen really want suffrage,” he remarked, facing those in favor of suffrage. “States do not provide a penalty e that,” Senator Ball sald. Every state has a qualification for voting,” insisted Ayers. The idea is not new with me. It has been up for ten year: “But no such penalty,” said Senator Ball. “If I were going to advocate any penalty for voting I would make that penalty for not voting at the primaries. If you can get the parties to vote you can get responsible men. But under the present system a few politicians control at the primaries with their organizations which they set up before elections. He said he was personally opposed to common primaries for that reason.” He did favor conventions the dele- gates of which were elected by the people, he said. He had found out that by this method the best men wge ol}lllh!}?ldt for“omre!. ev. J. on Waldron, pastor of the Shiloh Baptist Church, ps‘neaklng for colored organizations, favored the Jones resolution and the Capper bill. Urges Jones and Capper Bills. “I have been Instructed by these organizations,” sald Rev. Waldron, “to assure you that they favor the granting by Congress of the fran- chise and self-government to the people in the District of Columbia. These organizations feel that the white and colored citizens of the Dis- trict are loyal Americans and have always been true to our national government and have borne more than their share of the burdens of the nation, both in peace and in war. The organizations I represent are {;:“f.vor of both the Jones and Capper 8. being complenientary the one, to the They regard the two bills as! members of Congress.

This state of affairs argues that the principles of the Dec- laration of Independence and the Con- stitution are a'falsehood, or that the citizens of the District of Columbia are only half loyal and are not to be trusted with the franchise. “While we may have a good gov- ernment {n a way, that does not seem to us to be an argument in favor of refusing the franchise to the citizens of the District of Columbia. With rgeard to the colored vote, it ought to be said: (a) That of the col- ored adult citizens in the District of Columbia 90 per cent of them can read and write and 70 per cent of this number have had a common sehool education.
