BUSINESS men
IN VOTE drive
Herald Starts Advertising
Campaign on Letter Heads.
Plan Meets Approval.

Nationwide interest in the plea
of yoteless Washington for rep-
resentation in Congress Is assured
through the readiness with which
business houses are adopting the
publicity policy advocated by the
Advertising Club.
The Washington Herald is the first
OF the newspapers published in the
Capital to place upon its stationery
the message designed TO scquafnC
business associates and friends in
other cities with the fsctl that resi-
dents here have no voice in their
own civic affairs.
Here Is the text OF the appeal.
-Four hundred thousand residents
Of the District OF Columbia pay
Federal taxes. obey Federal laws
go TO war to derend the Fed
eral government; But these 900, %
600 have no local self-govern-
ment. no Presidential vote. no ma
tionsI representation. Taxation
without representation IS tyranny.
VIII you help US? II so, write US;
we'Il tell you how"
The underlying thought that
prompts the campaign is that
millions OF people OF the United
States are unaware that the resi-
dents OF Washington are olsen
franchised. Washington's plight is
also expected to be widely ad-
vertised through the return TO home
cities OF thousands OF war workers
The appeal upon the letter heads
is but the beginning OF the publicity
plan. Without waiting for the civic
and business organizations TO act
many business houses have adopted
the plan confident that the interest
reused will materially assist the
campaign.
