CITIZENS ASSOCIATION
PLEADS FOR HOME RULE
Wants Bona Eide Residents Appoint
ed to Commissionerships-Ap-
peals to President.

Future District Comm issioners should
be men who are not only bona fide res
idents Of the District of Columbia, but
men who are actively identified with
citizens associations, is the view ex-
pressed last night by the Piney Branch
Citizens Association at its regular
meeting in the Iowa Avenue NJ. E.
Church The Federation of Citizens
Associations is to be urged to take up
the matter and a copy of the resolution
outlining the policy is to be sent to
President Wilson.
Edwin S. Clarkson, who represents
the Piney Branch Association in the
federation, brought up the matter Mr..
Clarkson said that while he had no in
formation as to what stand the United
States Supreme Court would take in
the Newman eligibility case he be-
lieved that citizens associations should
not be left in the position they were at
the time they protested to the Presi-
dent against his nomination of Com
missioner Newman. At that time, he
said, President Wilson informed the To-
cal representatives that they had put
no one in the field. He did not want to
have the same excuse put up to them
this time. and urged that action be
taken looking toward the presentation
to the President for appointment as
Commissioner a man who has been
identified with citizens associations.
