, SENATE CONTENPT | " IPPEAL DEFEATED ningham Case Dismissed i in Pennsylvania. The Supreme Court yesterday ordered the Pennsylvania District Court to/dis- miss the appeal of Thomas W. Cun- ningham, former sherif of Philadel- phia, against removal to the District of Columbia for trial on a charge of contempt of the Senate. At the request of Solicitor General Thacher the highest court ordered its mandate to the lower court to take effect at once. Cunningham declined to reveal to the Senate Com| Funds Investigating Commiittee the source of $50,000 which he gave to aid William S. Vare’s Senate campaign in 1926. The court reversed a decision of the Third Circuit Court of A ‘which disc] Cunningham from custody and at the same time ordered the Dis- trict Court to dismiss habeas corpus proceedings.

C, TUESDAY, The Day, Nov. 4, 1930 To the Un-Americanized Americans of the District, ' Erawer tate touv & a Day of Humiliation and Mourning. To Other Americans, a Day of National Enthusiasm : and Patriotic’ Pride. THEODORE W. NOYES On this day the people of the United States, the citizens of the Ameri- can States, choose their agents to perform the legislative functions of the great representative Republic. American sovereignty is not the possession of one man or of a little group of men, but is distributed among the whole peo- ple. Every voting American is a sovereign in his own right and on this day he exercises this sovereignty as he deposits his vote in the ballot box. ‘To all fuii-fledged Americans this is a day of national inspiration and patriotic pride. hnnflflmu-wmwdwmmhyhmd lon and m 3 The Ammmu-:?hfife District of Columbia alone in continental Amer- ica are denied the opportunity to exercise the sovereignty which belongs to them as Americans. The 486,869 Americans of the District constitute the only community in all the expanse of the continental and. contiguous United States—popu- lous, inteiligent, public-spirited, of adequate resources—which is denied rep- resentation in the National Government. ‘They alone among the Americans of the continental United States are deprived of participation in the right to say who shall be the next President and Vice President of the United States. They alone have no representation in the Congress which makes all laws for them, taxes them, and sends them to war, Urging Voluntary Non-Voters to Vote; Making Compulsory Non-Voters of ‘Washingtonians. B All thoughtful voting Americans unite with patriotic enthusiasm in the Nntteinn-wlde campaign to search out recreant non-voters and to make them vote. ‘The habitual stay-at-homes on election day are pulled and pushed by persuasion and lashed and driven by denunciation. “Arouse yourselves from shameful lethargy!” the Nation demands. “Awake to a sense of patriotic duty!” “Abandon this ugly pose of seeming contempt for your country and its Government, which slurs them and debases you!” ‘The Wi ians who can,Jf they will, vote in the States (includ- ing 15,105 actual, fully qualified voters, to the 1930 census) are not neglected in this campaign. But with striking inconsistency the quarter million Washingtonians of voting age who have no technical voting resi- dence in any State are not merely not urged to vote, but are barred from voting. oting Americans thus condenin savagely potential voters who fail to vote. Then through inaction and neglect of duty they commit a like offense in effect by preventing from voting the quarter million men and women of voting age in the District who are without voting residence elsewhere. In essence the offense is the same: (1) to keep from the national ballot box those who are in equity entitled and eager to vote, and (2), possessing the right, to refrain from using it. ‘We frantically urge the few thousand potential voters in the District Mt&. ;e close and lock the ballot box against the quarter million who ized. Calvin Coolidge, when President, rightly denounced the voluntary and chronic stay-at-homes as abdicating their sovereignty. Do not those who re- fuse to restore to the Washingtonians the sovereignty of which they have, been deprived offend as distinctly as those who thus abdicate? ‘Will They Play the Dog-in-the-Manger Act? Then, t00,-the multitude of voluntary non-voters should not add to their ive offense of f: to exercise a basic American right the posi- gve mn‘:fdenymthn to a quarter million Americans who wish do not exercise this 't themselves.

Representation Arms With Power. ~ Whatever one has in mind as beneficial to Washington, if it is to be secured from Congress, is brought nearer to realization by adoption of this amendment. For under it we get voting power in a body in which we are now impotent; and our ability and our likelihood to secure any of this desired legislation are infinif Voting representation of the District of Columbia in both Houses of Congress will immediately multi” y the chances of secyring reasonable and equitable legislation concerning the District from Congress in respect to every proposition in which W is interested and by which, if enacted, it will be benefite" The local community, hitherto legislatively impotent, acquires power, wi. 'ut the loss of any influence upon legislation which from propinquity it haa previously . A Congress in which the Capital community has voting re, ntation will to a certainty be more consistently considerate, just and sympathetic as a local legislature than one which has no local representation whatever in its make-up. Has the District some grievance in its financial relation to the Nation which must in equity be remedied? The first, the vital step in securing such remedy is to win voting representation for the District in the legislative body which may grant or withhold the remedy. Has some inequitable tax been imposed upon the local community which the latter would reject if it taxed itself? In what other way can the community guard itself against or correct such inequity so effectively as by participating on equal terms with other Americans in the legislative councils which fix the taxes and define what is equitable in taxation?

Their names are merely taken from a list of legislators of potent influence in both Houses of Congress, valuable to State and Nation, which States as small as or smaller than the District have supplied and are now supplying. And yet some men suggest that the power which comes from such representation is negligible, worthless and not to be desired. ‘would Washington to represent it and fight for it?
