The associated press dispatch giving the presi- |
dents views on the constitutional anne udment |
pending in the house and the question of colored
suffrage in the district of Columbia is attracting
much attention., but to judge from the present ap-

is the distinguished senator alluded to, the DIS
patch IS stated, on very good authority that the
dispatch before being gwen to the associated press
was revised and its publication authorized by the
president. This having become known during

part of congressman who found 1t singular that the
president should send his message and communi-
cations and his views to congress through the
channel of the associated press
