Representation for the District Of Co
lumbia in each branch of Congress and
In the Electoral College is asked In a
resolution to be submitted for the in
dorsement of the Chamber Of Commerce
at its December meeting.
The resolution was drafted by the
Especial committee appointed by the
Chamber TO consider the question of
District suffrage, after the presentation
of eight written opinions by individual
members. Its wording is due to Robert
n. Harper. president of the District Ma
tional Bank, and is as follows:
Resolved. That the Chamber of Com
merce recommend that the Constitution
of the United States be amended so
that the District of Columbia shall be
considered a State in so far as that it
shall be entitled to representation In
the House and Senate and in the Elec-
toral College"
Whether the Congressional demand
should be limited to mere representation
IN the three bodies mentioned in the
resolution, or should take the broader
scope of insistence upon full rights of
citizenship and full representation in
Congress as though the District were a
State in fact, was the subject for long
discussion. It was finally determined
