the Germans as Of three kinds-chlo-

Please accept thk assurances of the

The women of the District have
given us their hearty support and are
represented on our executive council.
One local women's organization of a
thousand members gave us their unan-
imous support and appointed an eff
cient committee to cooperate with us.
I'VE earnestly solicit the support of

Scope Of Association.
The women's organizations" Mr..
Claflin said this morning, "can be of
the greatest assistance to us in secur-
ing for the District of Columbia it's
right of representation in it's govern
ing body However. it is not this fact
that led the District Delegate Associa-
ton to include the women in it's ptopo-
sition for franchise for the District.
After very careful consideration when
we organized we concluded that for the
women to share the right Of the vote in
the District IS both fair and logical. We
therefore made that part of our plat
form and invited the cooperation Of
the women's organizations in the Dis
trict, which we promptly received.
"A few months before the matter of
representation for the District was
brought before the Chamber of Com
merce the District Delegate Associa-
tion enlarged the scope of its activities
and took up the proposition of full rep
resentation for the District in both
branches of Congress, involving an
amendment to the Constitution. The
association is still strong for dele
gate and believes this will be a great
asset in securing the more complete
representation.
'The Delegate Association Is banking
strongly on the cooperation of the
Chamber of Commerce in the move to
secure representation for the District"
continued Mr.. Claf1in, land we are with
the chamber in every respect so far.
We hope they will not decide to dis
criminate against the women, as we
want to be with them on that question
