mittee on government of the district of
Columbia Takoma Park Citizens Asso-
citation. says the suffrage which he faVors
should be confined only to the election OF
two delegates to Congress for the pur-
pose of presenting the wants of the Dis
trict in matters pertaining to legislation.
Such delegates would merely be pro-
vided for by Congress to better enable
that body to carry into effect the powers
already conferred by the Constitution.
Property qualifications for voters, he said,
should be required.
The Columbia Heights association mem
bers hesitate to commit themselves to
any side of the question and will not
come out in print. The committee seems
to favor representation in Congress and
wants to see suffrage. On the other
hand. some of them bring up the subject
of what happened when the citizens OF
the District voted before.
A good description of their position
would be that many are watching to see
which way the cat will jump. and If 1t
jumps toward A plan that seems to them
conservative, well thought out and not
savoring Of any cut-and-dried campaign,
il is likely they will support II.
P NJ Brown of the committee repre-
senting the association said the COM
mittee had not gone on record Speaking
of qualified suffrage. Mr.. Brown was OF
opinion that Congress would not indorse
the plan as proposed in the resolution
of the Brightwood association. His rea-
son was that 1t would cause compiled
tons easy to conjecture. and that Con-
gress would not place the Capital city
in any such position.

The Brightwood Association is on record
as favoring change in the form Of gov
eminent of the District. as the minutes
of their special committee will show.
November IS. the committee met in the
office of Wilton j. Lambert, and among
other things done was the following:
1T was moved by Mr.. Shoemaker that
the committee resolve that there should
be a change in the form of government.
and that qualified suffrage with educa-
tional. property and residential qualifica-
tons shall be provided; and that the Dis
trict OF Columbia be allowed n delegate

ton shall be $500. real or personal; the
educational qualification shall consist in
being able to read and write. and the res
idential qualification to consist of being
a permanent resident Of the District of

He Is now disposed to remain out of
