believe that there is strong Hoover

The only thing that Hoover lacks is
delegates. But as the New York dele

about that there was much more
Hoover sentiment among the dele

been announced in the past. 1t proba :

HOGAN TO PRESENT
D. c. PLANK CLAIM
Delegate win Make Every
Effort to Have Proposal
Adopted by Committee.
by &. GOULD LINCOLN.

CHICAGO. June THE special COM
mittee appointed to carry to the re-
publican convention the request of the
residents of Washington that plank
be inserted in the republican plat
form favoring national representation
for the District of Columbia. at a
meeting in the Districts headquarters
at the LaSalle Hotel yesterday. au-
thorized the chairman. Samuel ]. Pres
colt. to appoint a representative to lay
the proposed plank before the commit
tee on resolutions of the convention.
Frank J. Hogan. delegate to the con-
vention. will be the Districts repre-
sentative on the resolutions commit
tee and will make every effort to have
the plank adopted.
Wording Made More Brief.
On the motion of Mr. Hogan the
wording of the plank was made more
brief AS it now stands. the proposed
plank reads:
We favor a constitutional amend
ment granting to the District of Co
lumbia representation in Congress and
the electoral college"
Mr.. Hogan's point was that the
plank should be as concise as posi-
BILE without changing the purpose or
meaning.
The same committee has been in
! structed to work in the interest of a
larger representation for the Dis
trict In the national conventions OF
the republican party. At present the
District has but two delegates 1t
is the aim of the District republicans
to obtain at least six delegates.
L0ath to Turn Aside.
The committee voted. however. not
to- present this matter at present.
but to lay it before the republican
national committee at some iater
date. The opinion expressed was
that the convention. engaged as it
will be on many matters of tremen-
dous moment to the country. would
i've leath to turn aside to discuss
the number of delegates to which
the District is entitled. 1t will point
out, too, that this was a matter which
properly should be taken up with
the national committee rather than
the convention.
