EVENING The humiliation felt by the people | of Washington today at being denied | the right to vote in the national elec- tion was called to the atfention of the League of Republican Women by when committeeman for the District, | members of the lcague were entertained | ig the Washington Club. S‘?\'Fnu‘t‘nthi and K streets, yesterday by Mrs. E. A. | Harriman, league president, | Expressing confidence that Herbert | Hoover will be elected, Mr. Colladay | voiced a hop> that as President MT. | Hoover would take a sympathetic view | toward the voteless National Capital. Hoover Knows City’s Needs. “Mr. Hoover’s election is not only im- portant to the country at large, but al- most unmeasurably important to us of | | the District of Columbia,” Mr. Colladay | declared. “He has lived among us for | | more than 10 years and is our friend | | and neighbor. He knows our problems, our aspirations and our needs. He has | | favored and supported the project in | which our greatest Secretary of the| | Trcasury, Andrew Mellon, is 5o deeply | interested—planning _and _crection of | | the great public buildings in the tri- | angle between the Mall and Pennsyl- [ vania_avenue, the greatest building of | the group being the one to house the departinent which Mr. Hoover built to | its present proportions. \ Our. people will maks what should not fail to bz a most impressive dem- onstration of theit feelings of humilia- | tion when they stand here at the heart.| of the Nation, one-half million citizens | | of the United States intensely interested {%n “the election and restrained from | casting their votes. i Hopes for Amendment. “Let us hope that Mr. Hoover, our | next President, will sympathize with us |in this deplorable condition and that his influence may be cast in the balance {to turn it in our favor to bring about [the enactment of the twentieth amend- ment to the Constitution of the United | States to give us the right to vote for presidential electors and for Serators and Representatives in Congress. i “Then, indeed, will the League of Republican Women of the District of Columbia have full and unrestricted opportunity in the national election of | 1932 to surpass the hitherto unequaled record which they have made in 1928.” | 'In radio talk over Station WRHF | last night, Frank J. Coleman, one of | the District Hoover minute men, as- serted that advantages would come to iabor from the election of Hoover. Mr. | Coleman, who is secretary of the Mary- land State and Disirict of Columbia Federation of Labor, declared Mr. | Hoover is for high wages, short hours | and every protection that can be built | around the American standard of liv- ing. | i | [ | “HUMILIATION DAY” PROTEST IS VOICED BY VOTELESS D.

Conspicuous with a deep mourning band around his hat for Washington's voteless condition was Washington Top- ham, representing the Association of Oldest Inhabitants of the District of Columbia and the Society of Natives. He also_decorated his residence with crepe. James F. Duhamel, who repre- sented the Al Smith Democratic Club, was another in the line of march. Signs and Banners Prominent. Signs and banners depicting the dis- franchisement of Washington’s residents featured the parade and float. Depart- mental Comdr. Harlan Wood bore a sign reading: “American Legion, Wash- ington, D. C., Posts. We were good enough to fight and we are good enough to vote. Let Washington vote for Presi- dent.” Atop the float a banner pointed to the fact that there are “500,000 Ameri- cans Voteless Today,” while a banner at the bottom pleaded for “National Rep- resentation.” The significance of the demonstration, an appeal for passage of House joint resolution No. 18, providing for a con- stitutional amendment giving national representation to the people of the Dis- trict of Columbia, was featured on an- other sign. Added to it were the words: “Taxed without representation, citizens of Washington pay more national taxes than do those of 15 States.” ‘Two other demonstrations intended to emphasize still further the unusual condition existing here on election day were staged at 11 o'clock and at noon. ' Ballot Boxes Impress. Locked ballot boxes were stationed at several of the principal corners of the city and in front of the White House by a commitiee of women representing the Voteless District of Columbia | League of Women Voters.

IN their making 550,000 inhabitants of the District of Columbia have no part. BECAUSE they comprise neither a State nor a Territory, Washingtonians are voteless and voiceless—a yawning void in the American body politic. THAT is WHY they are in political sackcloth and ashes at an hour which finds 120,000,000 enfranchised Americans at the zenith of patriotic fervor—panoplied in the proud garb of United States citizens. THAT is WHY this is the National Capital's DAY OF HUMILIATION. WHAT MUST BE DONE ABOUT IT? 1928; This November 6, 1928 IS DAY OF HUMILIATION CONGRESS must adopt the Constitutional Amendment now pending before it, empowering Congress to admit the residents of the District of Columbia to the status of citizens of a State for the purpose of representation in Congress and the Electoral College. HERE is the Ame ’ ndment : Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of Americain Congress assembled (two-thirds of each House concurring therein), That the following Amendment "to the Constitution of the United States be proposed for ratification by the Legislatures of the several States, which when ratified by the Legislatures of three-fourths of the States, shall be valid as a part of said Constitution, namely, insert at the end of section 3, Article IV, the following words: “The Congress shall have power to admit to the status of citizens of a State the residents of the District cons tuting the seat of Goverfiment of the “United States, created by Article I, section 8, for the purpose of representa- tion in the Congress and among the electors of President and Vice President and for the purpose of suing and being sued in the courts of the United States, under provisions of Article 11, section “When the Congress shall exercise 2. this power, the residents of such Dis- trict shall be entitled to elect one or two Senators as determined by the Congress, Representatives in the House according to their numbers as deter- mined by the decennial enumeration, and presidential elec‘lnrl equal in number to their aggregate representation in the House and Senate. “The Congress shall provide by law the qualifications of voters and the time and manner of choosing the Senat Representatives and the electors herein “The Congress shall have power to and proper for carrying into executiom t tor or Senators, the Representative or authorized. make all laws which shall be necessary he foregoing power.” Will Rogers NEW YORK CITY.—Owing to Jealousy, and me not paying my en- trance fees, I find my name has been left off the ballot. Now here is how we will fool ’em. There is a fellow run- ning somewhere on the ticket called Thomas. He is a Socialist. So vote for him in place of me, and in case he gets in we will split it. I will run the Govern- ment and he can do the fishing. So vote for Thomas and elect Rogers. The election ain’t over till 6 o'clock tonight, but its been over since last June. Just think, we got peo- ple in this coun- try that have to wait till votes are counted before they know. This is going to be the greatest lesson in geography that New York City ever had.

Tonight the young women will be the box party guests of Miss Smith at the National Theater. At 1:30 o'clock the six young men and women on duty with the float were luncheon guests at the Madrillon res- taurant and later witnessed a perform- ance at the Earle Theater before re- suming their part in the afternoon tration. del‘."‘:a? 5:30 o'clock the float will take position in various parts of the city and during the afternoon will proceed up Pennsylvania avenue through the Capitol grounds to visit the southeast and northeast sections of the city.

Brandenburg of the Joint Committes on National Representation for the District of Golumbia spoke uver Station WRC last night in the interests of the “Day of Humfliation.” His address in part follows: > “Tomorrow will be a Day of Humilia- tion for the citizens of the District Under the Constitution more than 40,000,000 citizens of the United Slntcs! will be given an opportunity to express | their choice at the polls for a President, and at the same time vote for their representatives in Congress. The 540,000 citizens of Washington are denied this right under the Constitution. It is the only place left in this land where taxa- tion without representation still prevails. Do the people of this country know we are denied the right of vote, and have no representation in Congress? “Do you know that through our taxes on real and personal property, tangible and intangible, we pald last year §31,- 337,308 to run the District government? The United States pays nothing for taxes on any of its vast holdings of property, receives without cost the water it uses. and has police and fire protec- tion, and for this it contributed toward the maintenance of the Capital $9,000,- 000. If the Government paid taxes to the District at the same rate as paid by its citizens, it would undoubtedly be in excess of the amount of this contribu- tion. Other Tax Payments. “In addition to this, citizens of the District paid to the United States in other taxes $18,227.332, which is more than that paid by the people in each of 25 States and 2 Territories, and_more than the aggregate paid by 8 States and 2 Tterritories combined. These States are represented in Congress by, VOTELESS CITIZEN GETS BALLOT BY LEAVING D. C. TO AID SMITH P. H. Sugrue, 76, Casts His First Vote in Nearby Maryland.

Sugrue, a lifelong resident of Washington, at the age of 76 years is today casting his first vote for Presi- dent, but he had to move a couple of miles over the line into Maryland to do it. He voted for Gov. Smith. Mr. Sugrue was born at Front Royal, Va., October 9, 1852, and came to Wash- ington with his parents at the age of 9 years. In 1896, during the Bryan campaign and the pre-ccnvention cam- paign of William Randolph Hearst, Mr. Sugrue was president of the Bryan and Hearst Clubs. He has always been a stanch advocate of Jeffersonian and Jacksonian democracy. ‘To _be eligible to vote for Gov. Smith, Mr. Sugrue moved to 160 Quincy street, Chevy Chase, Md. His son, P. A.

Sing Sing is a famous New York State prison located at Ossining, a town on the Hudson River about 30 miles north of New York City, says the Kan- | sas City Times. The town itself was originally also called Sing Sing, sup- posedly from the Sing Sing or Sint- sink tribe of Indians, who once lived in that vicinity. In 1901 the name of the town was officially changed to Ossin- ing, the old name having become ob- jectionable to the inhabitants because of its popular association with the peni- tentiary. “Os g" is merely a dif- | ferent form of ing Sing,” both words being corruptions of the Delaware In- dian word “assinesink,” literally mean- ing “at the small stone.” There 1s nothing to the popular story that Sing Sing was named after a friendly In- dian whom the whites called John Sing Sing.

Owing to improved production meth- ods the number of apple trees in this country has decreased in recent years, but the crop has increased in propor- tions as well as in quality. The crop of 1926 was the largest ever. This appar- ent paradox is explained by an in- creased output per tree and by the fact that the reduction in the number of trees has taken place largely in scat- tered famlly orchards and in less favor- aply situated commercial areas. Apple production for the market, according to the United States Department of Ag- riculture, has been increasing material- ly in some areas through better orchard management, better selection of varie- ties and increased bearing capacity re- sulting from an increase in the age of the trees, Problems are solved correctly and within your bud- wet limits.

Bovine Tuberculosis Fought. Success is attending the Government’s efforts to stamp out bovine tuberculosis. Twenty counties with a total area of 15,000 square miles and a cattle popula- | tion estimated as 450,000 have been added to the list of “modified areas” in the national campaign for the eradica- tion of bovine tuberculosis, it is an- nounced by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture. A “modified ac- credited area” is one in which tubercu- losis has been found to affect not more than one-half of 1 per cent of the cattle as determined by official testing and in which all animals reacting to the tuber- culin test have been removed from the herds. ‘The establishment and official recog- nition of modified accredited areas has been in progress five years, and the list has grown until there are now 527 counties, parts of 2 counties and 21 towns so classified.
