Hope for Enfranchisenlent.

Senator Capper Of Kansas brings
an encouraging message to Washing.
ton on his return from the West for
the session Of Congress. He indicates
that the progressive element in the
Western and Middle Western States
is in favor of granting national rep
resentation to the District of Column
such enfranchisement. He believes
the District should be represented In
both houses of Congress. and he be-
lieves further that if an amendment
to the Federal Constitution to that ef
feet were put up to the States for
ratification there would be 'immedi
ate and unanimous action to give the
citizens of this city their rights as
American citizens
In his advocacy of national repre-
Capper goes the whole way. He favors
the right to vote for presidential cleo
tors. the right to sue and be sued in
the Federal courts and the right to
elect Representatives to both houses
of Congress. He believes, in short,
in the joint resolution which is now
pending in Congress proposing an
amendment to the Constitution giving
Con- gress the power to enact lesisla-
ton to these ends.
In the recent campaign an inten-
sive effort was made by national or
gani1ations to arouse the people to
the point Of voting in full. The re-
sponse, however, was not as great as
was hoped. So far the returns do not
indicate material, If any, gain In the
percentage Of the eligible voters who
went to the polls. although the grand
total of votes cast was probably in
creased somewhat over 1920.
This campaign for fuller partici-
patton by the people in the election
should have called national attention
TO the fact that the District is dis
franchised, that nearly half million
Americans resident at the seat of Gov.
ernment are barred from any. par.
tfcipation in the making Of laws d.
selection Of the Executive.
A surprisingly large number Of
people do not realize this fact. Wash
tngtonians who travel into the States
find that the statement Of their political
impotency is received with astonish.
ment, while visitors to the Capital
from the States learn of it with sur.
prise. And the reaction to this in
formation is almost invariably con-
demnation Of the injustice under
which the Washingtonion has been
suffering for many years.
The fact that this inequitable dis
elimination has been practiced for
more than a century and quarter
without correction is no reason for its
indefinite continuance. Washington
is now asking specifically and urgent
ly for relief from the un-Arerican
deprivation Of the vote. 1t has forn1u-
lated plan Of relief, and 1t hopes
that with the aid and through the in.
f1uence Of such true friends as Sena-
tor Capper it will be granted. II It is
not granted at this coming session in
the form Of the adoption Of a joint
resolution proposing constitutional
amendment the effort will be con.
tinued In the next Congress and re-
peated until in the end, however long
the delay, this Americanization Of the
Washingtonian is secured.
