SUFFRAGE FOR
DISTRICT URGED
Petworth Citizens Indorse
Oyster Plan for Governor
and Ten Commissioners.
BACK WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Association Also Wants Residents to
Have Delegates in Both Branches
of Congress.

The oyster plan of suffrage in the Dis
trict was approved by the Petworth
! Citizens Association at a special meet.
Ing last evening at Petworth NJ. E.
Church. This plan provides that the
Commissioners shall be substituted by a
governor of the District and ten Com
missioners, five OF whom shall be chosen
by the voters and five named by the
President.
One amendment to the plan was a
recommendation that constitutional
| amendment be adopted by the States CIV
ing all residents OF the District over q
years of age the right to vote for the
President and Vice President, as we'll as
for Senators and Representatives from
the District
w. W. Chase, who was one of the most
vigorous opponents of the plan, declared
that the people OF the District do not
want a half-and-half plan for their votes
similar to the half-and-half plan for the
financial upkeep of the District. Mr..
Chase opposed woman suffrage. but II
was carried with only a scattering few
Of the members voting with him.
All the speakers lauded the plan OF full
suffrage for the District, especially as II
is provided for in the Chamberlain bill
now in the Senate. But E. W. Oyster.
the author of the governorship plan. de-
clared that 1t will be many years before
Congress and the States can adopt it.
Wherefore, he argued, It would be better
to have the governor and ten Com
missioners devote their time to the needs
of the District until full suffrage can be
secured.
J. c. Suter declared that any step
in the direction OF suffrage. no matter
how restricted II might be, should be
taken by the District.
Mrs. James is opposed to woman suf-
frage, while am for IT," said President
c. ]. James, of the association, in his
address which closed the speaking by the
members.
