WASHINGTON, d. C.-Subscriber, city Do
the people of Washington, d. c., have vote
for presidential electors and forthf
They do not, and the reason for that
is that under the provisions of section
8. article l of the United States con-
stitution, the city and district is un-
der the exclusive jurisdiction of con-
gress, which does not give the resident
the right to vote. A boy born in the
district if he wishes to vote for, say
presidential electors, must. after at
tanning his majority, go to some state,
live there during the time required to
enable him to vote, and after that If
he wants to make Washington city the
place in which to hold a governmental
position he must on election day go
to the place in which he claims his vote.
Congress makes all the laws for the
district. and since 1873 the same has
been controlled by three commissioners,
who have charge of all matters OF
municipal character.
