IN NATIONS AFFAIRS
David Lawrence Tells Ad Club
Why voteless Washington
Should Have Ballot.

David Lawrence. nationally known
correspondent. today told members of
the Advertising Club at meeting in
the City Club why Washingtonians
should be extended the privilege OF ma
tional representation.
There are certain limitations. he
said. which must be recognized when
considering the votes for the people
of the District Among them is the
fact that the Federal Government has
so great an interest in the Federal
City. but brushing this point aside
for the time being, he came out with
whole-hearted appeal for the exer-
else of suffrage by District residents
and the selection of members of both
houses of Congress and in determin-
ing points in national affairs.
The spirit of the city, he said. has
an essential ingredient in voting
powers as exercised by citizens. He
gave a resume of the results of tours
across the United States, in which he
noted the growth of national spirit
in various cities, and he attributed
the spirit of the American city in a
great measure to the interest which
its residents take in national and
local politics.
This is a subject" Mr.. Lawrence
said, referring to national representa- :
tion. which is near to my heart I
firmly believe that it will be a bene-
fit not only to the District of Colum-
bia. but to the Nation at large. And.
Furthermore. l believe it can be ac-
complished.'
Frederic William Vile. another
well known correspondent, also spoke.
His address was general in scope and
touched upon the general political
situation in the Nation as a whole.
