PHILADELP HIA, June "a.
A demand for a new Constitu-
tional amendment granting vote
less residents of the District Of
Columbia the vote, representation
in the Senate and House Of Rep
reSentativeS and the right of citi.
zens to sue and be sued in the
courts of the United States was
made before the resolutions com.
mittee of the Democratic Ma.
tional Convention here today by
District Commissioner George E.
Allen.
At the same session, the pro-
ceedingS of which were broadcast
for the first time in history, bring
ing the plight of residents of the
District to the entire Nation, Rep
resentative Mary T. Norton CD
of New Jersey, chairman of the
House District Committee, added
her voice to the plea, declaring
that under the present Setup it is
impossible for the House and Sem
ate committees to properly serve
the District and their own con-
StituentS.
Demand Representation
Declaring that residents of the
District no longer plead but de-
mand the right to be represented
in CONGRESS, Commissioner Allen
said:
Taxation without representa-
ton was tyranny in 1776. 1t still
is"
He pointed out that while the
District is the smallest geographic
cal unit in the Federal system, it's
population exceeded that of eight
States in the 1880 census. Also, he
showed, the population of the Dis
trict increased % per cent between
1880 and 1886, while the popula-
ton of the entire nation showed
only a 4 per cent increase.
Pays Heavy Taxes
The District, which he de-
Scribed as "voteless, speechless
and unjustly Disseminated
against" paid more than twelve
million dollars in national inter-
nal revenue alone last year, the
Commissioner declared, which
was more than that paid by each
of % other States and more than
nine States combined.
The per capita wealth of the
residents Of the District is $3.50,
which is greater tnau that OF 81

Democrats May Invite
Smith to Convention

The motion the Attorney Gen.
eral will make, if the meeker souls
in the party can be won over, will
call Smiths attention to the fact
that he is a delegate to the con-
vention from New York, and if
he has any ideas for party reform
or for the conduct of the Govern
ment he should stand up on the
convention platform and tell his
story where it can be answered.
They say Al has been Side-step-
ping with his Liberty League ora
tions and typewriter "walkout"
notes.
In addition to putting AL on the
spot, these leaders think such a
grandstand play would pep up the
convention enormously. It might
also give a few over confident
Democrats the idea that the No
vember reelection of Mr.. Roosevelt
is still to be won.

ing to persuade conservatives on
the Democratic committee that
the Smartest thing to do for the
1886 meeting is to invite Al Smith
down from New York to address
the convention.
Such an invitation would come
in the form of a motion made at
the convention. Attorney General
Homer Cummings, according to
the plans under informal discus
sion, would be the man to make
the motion.
It is the opinion of the men who

G.N.SO O.-Governor Herbert H.
Lehman of New York, has won his
fight for insertion of a strong
minimum wage plank in the
Democratic national platform as
suring the States constitutional
authority to establish minimum

Details of the plank are being
guarded carefully by the small
group engaged in drafting the
platform, but it was learned that
it meets all the demands by Gov

New York'S minimum wage law
was invalidated recently on con-

The Governors views on the
subject are said to have been laid
