This distinctive American privilege
decorates the American with a badge
of honor and arms him with power.
Its lack slurs the Washingtonian as
UNIT and defective, and slurs the Ma
ton as In this respect un-American
and impotent.
What the amendment proposes Is
equitable in itself and compulsory in
accordance with American principles
and traditions.
1T gives to residents of the District
rights and privileges which, under our
scheme of government, belong to all
who pay national taxes and fight as
national soldiers.
1T gives to residents of the district
a self-protecting power in the ma
tional councils which is denied TO the
resident of no other conanunity in all
of the mainland and contiguous United
States from Maine to Texas and from
New York to California.
I'm the matter of access to the Fed

from lower plane than that of aliens
to the status of citizens Of State.
National representation of the Dis

1T will proclaim to the world that
the great Republic Is as devoted to
the principles Of representative gov
ernment and as capable of enforcing
them as other republics with capitals
in Nation controlled districts, like
Mexico, Brazil and Argentina. These
nations have not found themselves I'M
potent to give full national representa-

only capital in all the world whose
people, slurred as tainted or defec-

Washington will cease to be the
only American community-numerouS
intelligent. prosperous, public spirited
and patriotic-in all the expanse oi
continental and contiguous United
States, whose fitness to exercise ma.
tional privileges as well as to beal
national burdens is denied.
National representation will cloths
the Washingtonian with a vital Amer
lean privilege to which he is unde-
niably in equity entitled; will cleanse
him of the stigma and stain of un-
Americanism, and. curing his political
impotency, will arm him with a GER
