Frank ]. Hogan, who. with Edward
W. Williston. is standing for election
as a delegate to the Republican national
convention, made an address In South
west Washington last night be-
fore an audience of $500 people at
Samaritan Hall. He appealed for
creditable representation OF the Dis
trlct of Columbia at the Republican
national convention.
I'm a democracy like ours" said Mr..
Hogan, the influence OF each commune
ity Is inevitably in large measure de-
termined by the influence 1t exerts in
the political affairs of the nation. The
residents of the District are deprived
of the franchise, but that Is no reason
why they should not be ably and
creditably represented in the great ma
tional conventions which choose the
candidates for President and vice presi-
dent.
the. District OF Columbia truly ut heart
will not be content to leave to mere
chance, to any single element Of the
population the choice OF their represent

vention.
