VOTE DEMAND HEARD BY WONEN National Representation Dis- cussed by Louis Ottenberg Before League. National representation for the Dis- trict of Columbia was the subject of an address delivered last night by Louis Ottenberg, attorney, before the semi- annual business meeting of the Voteless League of Women Voters, held at the headquarters of the American Associa- tion of University Women, 1634 I street. The league chose Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, its president, to be one of its two members represented on the Fed- eration of Citizens’ Associations, and heard Mrs. R. L. Turman of Atlanta, regional director of the third region, in which Washington is located, under the plan of the National League of ‘Women Voters, deliver a brief greeting. Characterizing 1871 as the turning point in the city's history, Mr. Otten- berg described for the league the work of the Board of Public Works, function- ing from February, 1871, to June, 1874. During that period. he said, the board accumulated debts from $4,000,000 to a sum variously estimated at between $19,000,000 and $30,000,000 and paid no attention to any act of Congress, but while running the District into debt, hlet declared, the board made it into a city. “It is fust as true in 1928 as it was in 1775 that taxation without represen- tation is tyranny,” Mr. Ottenberg as- serted. “I'm tired of being the man without the vote.” « Parisienne Speaks. ‘The attorney ‘insisted that a condi- | tion such as existed under the Board of Public Works could not exist today, and sald conditions in the post-Civil ‘War days were a poor argument for en- deavoring to continue to deprive Wash- ington of national representation. Mr. Ottenberg said he has lived in Wash- | ington all his life, but has never voted, while an alien who has not qualified as a citizen of the United States can vote for State officers in the States. This ;‘undition, he told his audience, is not air, “What we want is to have just a little say in the national affairs of this coun- try,” Mr. Ottenberg asserted. Mme. Susanne Grinberg of Paris said she found herself in the same position as Washingtonians, explaining that the women of France have no vote, blam- ing this on older politicians who fear the loss of their constituencies. She de- | clared that French suffragists have be- come tired of peaceful means and have decided to create notoriety to advance their cause. Committees Report. Mrs. Huldah Morehead, secretary to Mrs. Turman, advised the league to put its arguments for suffrage in Wash- ington into printed form so that other organizations throughout the country can be informed of the problem. Various committee reports on phases of the league’s work were presented by the chairmen of these groups. The members were elected to the nominating comm : Mrs. George A. Ricker, Mrs. John M. Hager and Mrs. Thomas J. Howerlon and the president of the league is to appoint two members later. ‘The business meeting, which was pre- ceded hy-a dinner, was presided over by Mrs. Edna L. Johnston, chairman of the efficioncy - ih - government committee, which conducted the program. CHURCH GROUP NAMED.
