Edwin c. Brandenberg. three
times president of the Board of
Trade. was severely criticised when
in his annual report of that body
in 1916. he strongly advocated a
revival of the fight for the elective
franchise for citizens of the Dis
trict and representation for them
in Congress. By many his step was
considered premature.
Largely as a result of il. the most
determined and widespread move
ment ever conducted by Washing
tonians for their inalienable rights
as American citizens is now in prog
ress. Civic and trade bodies are
giving their unqualified support to
the movement along with organi-
cations brought into existence for
the purpose of boosting District
suffrage. Brandenberg started the
ball rolling and always has been in
the thick of the campaign.
Until it has received the suffrage
that rightfully belongs to it, this city
will never reach the point of develop
ment for which it is destined" he
said yesterday.
Brandenberg is a prominent lawyer,
of the firm of Brandenberg and Bran
denoerg. He has practiced here for
twenty-eight years and for twenty
years has occupied offices in the old
Fendall Building, 344 ID street north
west, noted for the many disting-
uished lawyers who have had. or now
have offices there.
Rrandenberg is the only member of
the Board of Trade who has served
more than two terms as president
He completed the unfinished term of
William Fl. Singleton in 1915 and was
reelected in 1916 and 1917. He is the
present general counsel for the Board
of Trade and chairman of its eXecu-
tive committee.
Brandenberg granduated from
George Washington law school i'm 1890
and has been a member of the faculty
of the law department of that insti-
tuition for twenty years. He is the
author of several books on law.
He is a director of the National
Bank of Washington and its trust
officer and general counsel
Brandeuberg Is past master of the
Hiram Lodge. No. 10, of the Masonic
order.
His chief interest now is the pros
pective return soon of a son, Millson
F.. from France. He has been over
seas for sixteen months.

y Fair luck does not attend this

Business is subject to conditions

bodings and fears that will be
fomented by enemy influence should
not be harbored. for there are eX-
traordinary opportunities at hand.
Jupiter is in a place denoting re-
forms in high places and retrench-
ment in government expenditures.
Owing to the reflex influences
after the war the dregs of thought
and action will come to the sur
face before the final settlement that
follows the treaty of peace. This
means that many new scandals will
be aired.
The Eastern States should es-
