WASHINGTON. D. C,; IARCH 3. 1929—PART 1. Fellow Americans: The American people are about to inaugurate a new President. We Americans of the District are in peculiar relation to an incoming Chief Executive. We send delegates to conventions and help to nominate him. We are even permitted to lead in patriotic and enthu- siastic celebration of his inauguration. But we cast no vote for or against him at the polls or in the Electoral College. We are fit to nominate and celebrate. We are unfit. it seems, to help to elect. The half million Americans of the District constitute fhe only community in all the expanse of the continen- tal and contiguous United States—populous, intelligent, public-spirited, patriotic, of adequate resources—which is denied representation in the National Government; and to which not even Congress has the power to grant national representation. Since the half million Americans of the District pay national taxes, obey national laws and go to war in the Nation's defense they are entitled on American prin- ciples to be represented in the National Government which taxes them, which makes all laws for them, and which sends them to war These are basic American principles, axiomatic truths, worn threadbare by constant approving repetition. But by inconsistent acts and inaction in respect to the Dis- trict we falsify these principles and stultify ourselves. A proposed constitutional amendment is pending, which empowers Congress to give voting representation in Senate, House and Electoral College to the Ameri- cans of the District You will note that this amendment deals solely with national elections: that it proposes votes only for such national officials as President, Senator and Representa- , tive: that it does not propose or involve changes in the municipal goveriement of the District; and that it does not reduce in the slightest the power of Congress in respect to the National Capital, but enables the District to become a small fractional part of the Congress which excrcises in respect to it exclusive legislative power. On what ground can anv one oppose this measure of political equity? Simple and brutal would hold the Was is the answer of those who ingtonian_with convicts in the class of politically defective, delinquent and impotent Americans. They say in offect: “You are unfit in qual- ity and quantity of population to exercise this power. and you never can become fit.” The Bugaboo of Negro Domination. They dangle before the eyes of the Washingtonian the bugaboo of vicious negro domination. They sug- gest that he should fear to permit himself to be Ameri- canized because one-fourth (25.1 per cent) of the Dis- trict population is classed by the census as negro. ‘They argue that this percentage means negro po- litical domination of the District and renders unfit for participation in the National Government the entire population. including the three-fourths of whites. Is there some peculiar unfitness in the District’s white population and some traordinary taint in the Dis- trict's negro population which render the District’s three-fourths plus one-fourth combination virulently poisonous, while the much higher negro percentage in some States becomes innocuous? The District has the average negro population per- WMAL, when Jesse C. Suter, a vice | president of the citizens' joint commit- | tee on mational representation, will | speak on “Help Washington Get the | e Many Visitors Expected. ! Arrangements have been made for | the reception of a great crowd of visi- | tors at the representation headquarters today and tomorrow. Tea will be served to visitors. This, in a sense, is a reminder of a famous tea party once held in Boston by patriots, who, by force. demonstrated their objection to taxation without representation. For the further entertainment of visi- tors at the headquarters, a radio has been set up for the reception of the official inauguration programs which will be broadcast. Visitors are told by hosts -and host- esses present of the situation existing in Washington, and literature, including copies of hearings by congressional com- | mittees, is being distributed. At the headquarters also are petitions urging approval by Congress of the proposed constitutional amendments. Despite the inclemency of the weather yester- day, at the closing of the office at 10 o'clock last night several hundred had signed. Those signing the petitions gave residences ranging from California to Vermont, and Illinois to Florida. Six- teen States were represented. Grant Among Visitors. Among numerous visitors at the head- uarters yesterday were Lieut. Col. U. g. Grant, 3d, general chairman of the official inaugural committee, Wwhose headquarters is in the Willard Hotel, across Fourteenth street from the office of the national representation organi- tion. nf\jfilr".e evidence of the disfranchise- ment of Washington is seen in the win- dows of the national representation headquarters, where are placed two bal- bt boxes.

Maryland. 16.9, and Virginia, 29.9, average 23.4, as against the Dis- trict’s 25.1. If the District is forbidden national representation because of 25.1 per cent negro population, must not also Virginia and Maryland be deprived in consistency of national representation? 1f Washington is unfit for Americanization because of 25.1 negro percentage, are not Baltimore, 14.8; At- lantic City, 21.6; Richmond. 31.5, and Norfolk, 37.5 (averaging 26.3), also unfit? Washington’s negro. percentage has for 50 years been decreasing. Between 1910 and 1920 its percentage dropped from 28.5 to 25.1. In the same period Atlantic City’s percentage increased to 21.6 per cent. g Can One-Fourth Dominate Three-Fourths? What negro percentage dominates and contam- inates? Does 25.1 per cent dominate the District, while not one of the 14 police precincts into which it is divided showed in the 1925 police census a majority of negro population? The assumption that the one-quarter population of negroes will politically dominate the three-quarters of whites, that one negro is politically stronger than three whites, inflicts an undeserved, humiliating slur upon the 400,000 whites of the District today. The assumption that the negro is so hopelessly and incurably unfit for Americanization that as a quarter element of the population he infects with his unfitness the whole community undeservedly and in- sultingly slurs the negro of the District. No element of American population has shown since 1870 greater progress in radically reducing illit- eracy and in the industry and thrift which honestly accumulate property than the negroes of the District. In the World War the percentage of enlisted negro soldiers was distinctly greater in the District than the negro percentage of the Diitrict's total population. A Fine, Strong American Community. The people of Washington—white or colored—are not justly subject to slurring discrimination. They constitute as a whole a fine, strong American com- munity, conspicuous for its high percentage of native- born Americans, for surpassing excellence in compara- tive literacy, and sound loyal, patriotic Americanism, tainted by 2 minimum of unassimilated alien population of bolshevistic thought and influence. Every analysis of the District’s population which has been made emphasizes the existence of a potential vot- ing constituency here which is adequate in numbers and unsurpassed in quality in any State of the Union. WASHINGTON AND INAUGURATION Radio Address of Theodore W. Noyes, Chairman of the Citizens' Joint Committee on D. C. National Representation, Over Station WMAL, Mérch 2, 1929. The District’s total population in 1920 exceeded that of seven of the States. It now exceeds that of eight and probably nine of the States. It paid more in national taxes rinternal revenue) than 25 of the States; more than 10 of the s combined. It sent more soldiers and sailors to the World War than seven of the States. In percentage relation of voluntary enlistments to total inductions into the military service in the World War it surpassed 43 of the States. In Potential Voters D. C. Exceeds Nine States. It has greater population and resources than any Territory at the time of its admission as a State to the Union, except Oklahoma Its population of voting age (over 21) in 1920 was 305.255, exceeding that of nine of the States. If all the United States' classified workers in the District were subtracted from this number, the popula- tion of voting age would still exceed that of eight States. Subtract all of the colored population of voting age, and the District’s white potential vote will exceed that of seven States. Subtract the colored and foreign born over 21 years of age, and the native-born whites of voting age in the District will exceed those in 11 States. Is it fair or wise to slur as impotent weaklings our population of voting age of native-born whites, surpass- ing the corresponding populations of such States as Rhode Island, North Dakota, New Hampshire, Idaho, Vermont and Utah? In 1920 there were more than 250,000 compulsory non-voters in the District. This number is today largely increased. Does not even this quarter-million of potential voters constitute a factor of political strength on election day? District a Factor of Political Strength. This District quarter-million exceeds the total votes actually cast in the presidential election of 1924 in any one of 22 States of the Union It exceeds the fotal vote actually cast in neighbor- ing Virginia in 1924 by the Democrats, Republicans and Progressives combined (223.535). Virginia has 12 elec- toral votes. Tt exceeds the combined total vote cast by all parties in the 1924 election in Delaware, South Carolina, Wyom- ing and Nevada (248.437). These four States have 18 electoral votes. Do not the District’s quarter-million of potential voters, steadily increasing. indicate a political strength worthy of consideration by the politicians? After suffering all reasonable, carefully calculated reductions, the potential voters of the District constitute a great army for whose favor the worldly-wise, far- seeing politicians will some day compete with sincere display of sympathetic helpful consideration, instead of slurringly and contemptuously imputing to the com- munity incurable political unfitness and to the Nation impotence to cure this evil. An S O S Call to Nation-Wide Organizations. The District’s population is not only strong in itself. but its strength is multiplied by the support of affiliated and_sympathetic Nation-wide organizations. The women of the Nation, including those of the District, who have won the national franchise for themselves everywhere except in the District, will never permit this exception and this discrimination to continue to exist. The hideous mockery of a ‘“‘Voteless League of Woman Voters” in the District of Columbia will not be perpetuated. The woman organizations of America, national and local, who are fighting for our amendment, have made it clear that they will never rest_until this slurring inconsistency is removed. ‘The American Federation of Labor, which supports our amendment, can hardly be conceived as assenting forever to the repudiation as voting Americans of its strong, intelligent, anti-Communistic membership in the District. \ The ex-soldier and patriotic_organizations, civilian associations and clubs of the District with powerful national affiliations are successfully sending out an S O S call to their voting associates to rescue them from the shameful political isolation of the convict. Those who expect Washingtonians to accept com- placently a slurring appraisement of the city's popula- tion add insult to injury. To the injury of deprivation of a vital American right and power they add the lx;‘sun of a slurring imputation of unfitness to enjoy them. They imagine the District as voluntarily accepting the role of shackled imbecile, babbling boastfully of the comfort, even luxury, of his cramping fetters. Indicting Uncle Sam as Impotent. Uncle Sam himself does not escape this vitriolic shower of slanderous imputation. The same slur which pictures Washingtonians as vicious weaklings de- preciates American sovereignty, embodied in the vot- ing power, as negligible and worthless. It indicts as undesirable the representative Repub- lican Government of which we have been taught to be patriotically proud. It pictures Uncle Sam himself as impotent to cure this evil of un-Americanism at the heart of the body politic. Will not every red-blooded American who hears me tonight respond helpfully and vigorously to the District's appeal for political equity? How long, O Americans, must we of Washington be compelled to say and to sing: “My country, 'tis of thee” Not land of liberty For District folks: Where rights for which the fathers died Are now denied and crucified, Mock'd at as jokes.

Selma reported the Alabama at 45 feet, 10 feet above flood stage. with 46 feet likely before it begins to fall tomorrow. Lowland residents in the Montgomery area have taken to house- | boats to ride out the flood. DR.
