Own Hands, Says T.. T.. VIII.

That 1t now lies entirely with the peo-
pie of the District whether or not self
government soon is granted by Congress,
was the principal idea that DR.. Thomas
f. Will, of the District Self-Government
League, tried to instill into the minds Of
large curbside audience at Eighth Street
and Pennsylvania Avenue last night
DIR. Will told his hearers that members
showed willingness to give self-govern-
ment to the people of the District II 4
large part Of the people should ask for
1t. He said that he has been assured of
the favorable attitude Of the House Dis
trict Committee. Representative John
son OF Kentucky, chairman of the COM
mittee. he said, has promised to introduce
the measure.
DIR. Wills favored the Des Moines plan
of city government. This. he said, would
obviate the dangers of boss or ring rule.
His listeners seemed thoroughly in favor
of action by Congress.
