| two representatives in Congress, and
two votes in the electoral college
nothing more. Let the present com
mission form of government remain
as IT is, stated Mr. Littlepage.
Points to City's Growth.
He stated that suffrage for the Dis
trlct of Columbia was necessary as
the city had grown SC and its va
rious problems have become so com
ples that the men on Capitol Hill
are unable to look after it's interests,

sentiment of the association, stating that
the members were already in favor of
suffrage and were, at present, contribut-
ing both their time and money toward
it. resolution was adopted thanking
