Not Permitted to Vote
(Sun-Gasette, Fulton, No.
NoU. 20, 1856

Three times as many people as
live in the Ninth Missouri Con-
gresSional district, of which Cal
laWay is a part, are not permitted
to vote for President, although
they are loyal and mostly native
born Americans. In the Missouri
Ninth District the census of 1880
showed 207, ,068 people; in the Dis
trict of Columbia there were 619,-
900. Yet the people who live in
the District of Columbia are not
permitted to vote.
It has no representation in
Congress and no voice in the Sc
lection of a President. At the last
session of Congress an amend
ment was proposed to right the
wrong, forbiding the residents OF
the National Capital an oppor-
tunity of voting. It is proboble
this will be re-introduced at the
coming session and we see no rea-
son why it should not be referred
to the State legislatures for adop-
ton. There are many former Cal
lawegianS now living at Wash
ington, D. c., who voted intelli-
gently while they were here and
who would continue to vote in
telligently since they have left
our borders.

G. O. P. PROBLEM

AS the Senate begins slowly to
organize its groups to push for
ward on a legislative session that
is freely reported to have the max
ingS of one of the greatest seS-
sions in the history of the country
some thought is being turned to
what the Republicans will do in
the future.
For instance, little figuring is
being done on what chance the
Republicans will have to ever re-
gain the majority it once held so
opulently in the Senate.
In 1889 there will be 80 Sena'
tors up for reelection. OF this
number 81 are Democrats and
only 5 Republicans. A swell chance
for turnover there, I don't think,
when you take into consideration
how many of the Democratic in
cumbentS come from the Southern
strongholds. They include Bark
ley, Kentucky; Black, Alabama;
Caraway, Arkansas: Clark, Mis-
souri,; Reynolds. North Carolina;
George. Georgia: and Smith Of
South Carolina. To say nothing
of the s,alwarts in other sections
like Tyoings. Maryland; Thomas.
Oklahom} Thomas. Utah; Wag-
ner, New york; Lonergan, Conn:
Hayden, Nrlzona and NMcCarran,
Nevada.
If that loesnt settle the ques-
ton. look a l94l There will be
"a Democrat up for reelection in
that year and lnly SIX Republicans.
If in both tn, years the Repub-
lcanS hold on , the seats they
have, in l94l t. ey will have to
beat some more 0utherners like
Andrews of Florida. AShurSt. Ar
Zona; Byrd. Virginia Connally.
Texas: McKellar. Tenn. and Tru-
man, Missouri. Not to S>v any
thing about the interminghI.- of
Western Democrats and the NorL.
erners like Copeland of New York:
Guffey, Pennsylvania: Moore. New
Jersey, and Walsh Of MaSSachu-
SettS.
And in order to follow it to the
conclusion we might as well look
to 1943, when again there will be
"a Democrats and six Republicans
up to face the voters. 1t goes with
out saying that the percentage
that year is almost the same in
the Southern and Western strong
holds.
It looks like a pretty tough
struggle. An optimist would say
that if the Republicans won every
seat regardless of what section of
the country it represented they
could get a majority in six years.
The closest any of the actual fig
urers will give them is that the
Republicans might regain their
coveted lead in Is years.

An Important Bird dge

IN HE tentative approval which has been given by the
i National Capital Park and Planning Commission to
plans for the proposed Pennsylvania Avenue bridge
should bring renewed determination to obtain an appro-
praton for construction of the bridge at the coming ses
sion of Congress.
The plans have been worked out under an appropria
ton of 5000 made by the last Congress for this pur
pose.
Their completion, in tentative form, is great
forward step toward obtaining replacement OF an out
NODDED if not actually dangerous structure.
WASHINGTON KNOWS FROM BITTER EXPERl-
ENCE THAT THERE is OFTEN A LONG DELAY
BETWEEN THE PREPARATION OF PLANS FOR A
NECESSARY IMPROVEMENT AND THE OBTAIN
ING OF THE MONEY WITH WHICH TO START
ACTUAL WORK ON THE PROJECT.
There must be no such delay in getting work started
m the PENNSYLVANIA Avenue bridge.
The bridge spans the Anacostia River at an important
point of entrance to the heavily populated portion OF the
city.
In its present narrow form constitutes hazard for
the heavy traffic which travels this route and It's in
ability to carry traffic expeditiousy frequently results
in congestion or general reroutng Of traffic on busy
days.
The proposed new bridge is not in any sense local
Improvement designed to benefit the Southeast section
Of the city.
It is of the utmost Importance to all sections and
should receive the support of all localities.

"Plenty!" says DR.. Henry c..

DR.. Link is Director of the Psy-

NOT a rare, unattainable gift.
There's no mumbo-jumbo about

for several hours to see what kind
of office space he was going to get
and to arrange the details of his
induction. In the course of events
he visited Vice President Garner.
The two had a friendly chat,
posed for pictures and talked of
mutual friends. AS Mr.. Smathers
was leaving, the Vice President
mentioned the name of Senator
Moore.
"I've always had a friendly
feeling for him." said the Vice
President, "but I guess he'll be
leaving us to go back and run
for governor. He wanted to do
it before but I told him then
that he ought to stay down here.
We needed all the Democrats
we could get. But since the cleo
ton it's different; guess it'll
be all right if he wants to leave
now"
Any leader with as big a ma
jority as Mr.. Garner has in the
Seventy-fifth Congress can afford

GOING MODERN

The Senate has gone modern.
Yes, sir, despite the fact that this
august body has continued for
years to hang onto the original
gavel used when it first opened,
its old desks, its snuffboxeS and
it's sand for blotting it's documents,
the desks are now equipped with
new ink wells.
The original inkwells were
ground out of blocks of crystal.
They had a little sliding top also
of crystal and they served for
years. But time took it's toll. They
didn't fit exactly into the holes
in the desks provided for them
and when a Senator rose to the
occasion and pounded down right
hard with his fist, the little glass
containers jumped right out.
More often than not that struck
the brass rail around the desk and
made enough racket and spilled
enough ink to cause no end of
trouble. Then they had to be
washed twice week and the men
assigned to wash them broke one
or two. Several years ago it got
to be quite q problem to replace
the missing ones.
They we're not for sale in the
United States and so they were

NoU. rs, 1886

NoU. rs, 1856
The recent election called atten'
tion again to the anomalous situa,
ton of the District Of Columbia,
where its $4,000 inhabitants, as,
signed all the obligations of citizens
of the United States, are denied
the right to vote. On previous oc'
caSionS we have said this was un'
fair discrimination, not in accord
with the precepts of the ConStitu
ton, clearly involving the prin'
ciple of taxation without repre-,
Sentation, and at this time we wish
to repeat our belief that residents
of the National Capital should be
extended the franchise. There is
no logical reason why they should
not have it.
This structure of the vote is
largely the result of accident,
Search of the debates of the Con.
stitutional Congress reveals that
the first lawmakers had no idea
of excepting residents of the Ma
tional Capital from the franchise
In fact, no mention was made of
the franchise as it applied to them,
and purely unintentionally the
trainers of the Constitution failed
to give Congress the power to in
clude the seat of national govern
ment in the Electoral College on
the basis of population. In the
confusion Of the moment, no such
provision was made and none has
been made since.
Residents of the District of Co
lumbia justly resent this loss OF
franchise. According to the cen
sus of 1880, the population of the
District was larger than that OF
eight States: and with voting
age population of 433,000, this
figure exceeded the voting-age pop
ulation of 10 States. During the
past fiscal year the District paid
S17,322, ,929 in national taxes, which
is a larger sum than was paid in
such taxes by Is individual States
The sum is more than was paid
by nine States combined. But, de
spite this outlay for Federal taxes
those who paid them had no voice
in government. It has also been
pointed out that during the World
War the District sent more men
to the colors than any of II States.
although it had no representation
in the body which declared war
and prosecuted it.
But aside from such statistics is
the undisputable fact that within
our borders is geographical area
inhabited by free Americans who
are denied their birthright-the
privilege set forth by the laws
which made us a nation that every
man possesses the right to vot
unless such is specifically denied
for just cause. They should be
represented in government. We
can see no reason why there should
even be argument over it.

District of Columbia
Deserves the Franchise
Detroit Times, Detroit, Mich.,
NoU. 26, 1856

The movement to provide the
District of Columbia with repre-.
sentation in Congress and the
Electoral College appeals to all
citizens of the United States who
are proud of their right to vote
and participate in their govern
mental affairs.
1t is a reflection on the purity
of our democracy that in the
National Capital, the very center
OF that democracy. more than
100000 American should live aS
political Serfs.
When the District of Columbia
was established and the Federal
Government moved there in 1900,
the problem was not acute and
received little attention.
Then the city was merely a mud
bank on the shore of the Potomac,
with a handful of inhabitants,
virtually no business and only one
or two Government buildings.
But with the progress of the
country the District of Columbia
has grown and proSpered.
1t has stable population. thriv-
ing businesses, thousands of homes
and a large amount Of residents
who reside there regardless of DO
litical changes.
With the changing conditions.
WaShingtonians are demanding
the right to participate in the ma
tional affairs.
They now bear all the obliga-
tions of citizens and have none
OF the political rights of freemen.
This is condition which should
be righted and which will be
righted if a proposed constitu-
tional amendment is submitted to
the people by the Congress which
conveneS in January.
Citizens of Michigan can help
their votelesS brothers in the Dis
trict of Columbia by writing TO
their Representatives and Senators
and urging them to vote for sub

amendments to the people.

proposed to remedy the obvious

amendment TO correct the situa-
ton was introduced at the last
session Of Congress, and is slated
to be brought forward again in
the coming session.
1t goes without saying that the
matter should be submitted to the
people Of the 48 States. and if

Estate Gazette, Trenton, N. J,
Nov. 26, 1886
During the next session of Con-
gress a constitutional amendment
will be introduced TO remedy an
injustice against $4,000 residents
of the District of Columbia, who
have all of the obligations of citi.
zenS of the United States, yet are
denied the right which Americans
hold most dear-the right to vote;
representation in the Government.
1t is a basic principle of democ.
racy that all people shall be rep
resented in their government and,
in fact, a reading of the debates
of the Constitutional Congress in
dicates that there was no intent
by the trainers of the Government
to deny the application of this
principle to those who chanced to
live in the National Capital. The
Constitution makers unintention-
ally failed to give Congress the
power (analagouS to that which
is possessed with regard to the
admission of territories to state
hood of granting representation
in Congress, and in the Electoral
College, to the population of tho
District.
There is little to be said in sup
port of a continuance of this con-
dition Of injustice against loyal,
highly literate and largely native
born citizens of the United States.
They perform the duties of citizen
ship and pay more toward the SUD-
port of Government than do many
OF the States. The proposed con-
stltutlonal amendment should, un-
der the circumstances, receive the
support of all fair-minded citizens.
