was not ignorance on their part, but
simply lack of opportunity"
Specimen Ballots Collected.
This surprising condition has prompted
the Citizens Joint Committee to make
q start toward the collection OF speci-
men ballots from the different States
in order that an instructive exhibit may
be assembled in the near future. In
this work the Joint Committee seeks the
assistance of any who may be able to
procure such ballots
Such sps cimen ballots may be sent to
the committee headquarters, room $50,
The Evening Star Building, or left with
those in charge of the national repre-
sentation booth at the exposition. The
Joint committee. Mr.. Sutsr said. will
highly appreciate receiving the CO.
operation of any who may be able in
this way to contribute to the disfusion
OF political knowledge which should be
possessed by every Am rican.
The national representation booth
has been source OF never-failing in
terest to thousands who visit the ex-
position in the Washington Auditorium
because 1t emphasizes the voteless con-
dition of citizens here generally. Under
Mr.. Suffers direction thousands of
pages of literature have oeen distributed
and hundreds of inquiries answered
about the movement to enfranchize
the people of Washington. With the
example of millions voting in Tuesdays
election, the object lesson of the ma
tional representation movement was
forcibly presented.

ton that Yates would eventually
emerge the winner. If he does, the
Illinois delegation to Congress will be
made up # is Republicans and IL
Democrats. This would still give the
Democrats a net gain Of five. Their
victories included that of William II.

licans. The latter two were elected in

manned.

Gratis and two Republicans was a re-
versal of the 1928 election, when nine
Republicans and two Democrats were
chosen. The Democrats gained their
third Representative, however, in a spe-
cial election in the third district to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of
C. W. Roark, Republican, who died
shortly after he was elected.
