ID. {. Population Cited.


If the President were elected in par
by the electoral votes of the people ot
Washington he would take more
human interest in their affairs, Mr.
Suter declared. He pointed out thai
the District has a greater population
than any of seven States which are
represented in Congress by % persons
and pays more money in taxes into
Federal Treasury than any of 81
States.
The objection often put forward that
any vote in Washington would be
greatly influenced by a large coloreG
population Mr.. Suter refuted by re
ferring to the 1920 census, which
showed that the ratio of colored per
sons to white in the District was
slightly less than one to four The
present colored population. he ind
Gated, was further advanced in edu
cation, intelligence and common de
cency" than in most localities.
This plan, Mr.. Suter stated, was out
lined by Frederic William Vile
speaking before the convention of Ma
tional Council of State Legislatures re
Gently held in this city, so persuavely
that n committee was appointed BY
Joint Citizens Committee on the sub
ject. This committee was impressed
to such a degree that in their report
to their parent organization they
recommended that the National Coun
Gil put forth every effort to secure
national representation for the District
and send prominent legislators t.
Congress to speak in its favor at hear
whore tho frnrncnd

given a rising vote of thanks.
