1t was 10 o'clock when the convention
was called to order. The large hall of the

yet patriotic appearance. In front Of each

eight years from its founding in 1900 the
national government allowed the citizens of
the District of Columbia to meet the ex-
penses of its maintenance and development
although the government owned more than
half Its real estate. And District men have
had 10 take the initiative in all the efforts
which have made the national capital SO
beautiful, and 1t is they who have planned
glorious future for it far exceeding the
present Willingness of Congress. which in
1878 tardily began to appropriate from the
national treasury the money for one-hair
of the expenses of the District.
But in recent years, at least the people
of the country generally, and especially
those who have visited Washington. have
sympathiZed most heartily with the noblest
desires of District men for the Improvement
Of the national capital and have heard with
delight of every new concession by Con-
gress toward the upbuilding and the beauti-
fcation of it. The governors of the District
