POLLARD RGES FIGHT FOR VOTE Virginia Ex-Governor Ad- ‘dresses D. C. Society of ¢ Natives Dinner. Former Gov. John Garland Pollard of Virginia last night urged voteless District residents to fight for their “rights as citizens of the. United States.” in an address at the annual dinner of the Society of Natives of the District of Columbia, held at 2400 Sixteenth street. The occasion was in celebration of the fifteenth anniversary cf the found- ing of the Society of Natives, April 10, 1920, and of the 144th anniversary of the laying of the first corner-stone of the District of Columbia, Apri: 15, 1791, *I think you ought to be able to vote for the President of the United States and you ought to have a Repre- sentative in Congress. You have rights as citizens of the United States,” de- clared the former Virginia Governor. In emphasizing the citizens here should work for those rights, he added: “Liberty was never won except by those who knew what their rights were and were willing to fight for them.*” Citizens Above Convicts. After telling a joke which em- phasized the latk of citizenship of convicts, Pollard said: “I don’t think Congress ought to treat you as con- viets; you ought to have the same political privileges as we do” (meaning non-residents). The former Governer recounted the history of the founding of the Dis- trict of Columbia and events of his- tory in connection, With it. A total of 123 Government officials and work- ers was brought here, he said, when the Capital of the United States was moved here. The speaker urged District resi- dents to take steps to preserve historic buildings and mark spots of historic background. Thomas Jefferson, he said, started the first District public school at Eighteenth and I streets, and this spot should be marked, he asserted, as one of historial interest. He was introduced by Harry Hard- ing Burroughs, president of the so- clety, who recounted briefly the his- tory of the society. Original Officers Present. Three of the original officers of the society were at the meeting. These included Jesse C. Suter, the first pres- jdeni and now honorary president; Mrs. Anna E. Hendley, the first second vice president, and John Clagett Proc- tor, the first historian. Besides these, Fred A. Emery and Dr. Clarence A. ‘Weaver, past presidents of the soctety, “were present. Mr. Proctor also is a past president. Recitations were given by Adelaide Hibbard of the National Theater Players and a program of music was presented, consisting of vocal solos by Mrs. Leonor Reed, accompanied on the harp by Mrs. Helen B. Eckman, and harp solos by Mrs. Eckman. The committee in charge of ar- rangements consisted of Mr. Bur- roughs, the president, chairman; Mrs. Willlam L. Broaddus, Mrs. Watson V. Shelton, Mrs. Frederick Yates, Mrs. Dora K. Muir, Mrs. W. Stuart Hodge and Mrs. Charles Eisinger. More than 100 attended.
