up a bit and forget ABOUT poIlcleS'
strategy and votes.
Imagine their surprise when
they found after only super
fetal examination that they were
right in the midst Of the planting
season for 1910.
The fact in the matter is that
while the ordinary voter and a lot
of tub-thumpers have been rouSing
up the country over the 1886 can
didates there has been a Sec
ondary drive going on intended
to put at least 10 or Is men in
public light in the way Of the
1910 nominations.
Taking a cue from President
Roosevelt, who Is accredited with
having started his 1886 campaign
when he made his inaugural ad-
dress in 1882, these gentlemen, or
at least their friends, are oiling
the ways and watching their steps
very carefully for a good build-up
to the peak four years hence.
1t won't be at all hard for you
to realize the Importance Of this
advanced step when you take into
consideration that these gentlemen
know without a doubt they will
have to contend with a strong
third party movement next cleo
ton.
And when people begin to talk
about a third party movement
in the next election even before
the present one has been decided
you can be darn sure that it's go
ing to mean something more than
Just political crystal gazing.
It's going to mean the uncover
ing of the spark that is causing all
the smoke.
OUTSTANDING
Candidly speaking, Senate
,rthur H. Vandenberg, Michigan
Republican, is probably the out
standing example.
Senator Vandenberg told this
correspondent long before the pres
ent campaign got under way that
he was not in the 1886 race. There
was a lot of talk about the fact
that he would accept the nomina-
ton for President if he were
drafted.
UnqueStionably it would be a
big honor for any man to over
look, but my guess is that he would
have done a lot of tall thinking
about what reaction it would have
on his nomination in 1910 before
he would have accepted it.
It looks pretty much like some
thing of this nature was in the
air when he turned down the Vice
Presidential nomination in no un
certain terms.
Colonel Frank Knox who did
take the nomination for second
place on the ticket has swung
himself into the national orbit

Everybody But Us

Today an important but sad day for the residents
of the District.
Our rulers for the next to four years being
selected for
EVERYBODY IN THE COUNTRY HAS PART IN
THE JoB-EVERYB0DY BUT U.S.
In all the States they voting for President and
for members of Congress.
The Congressman selected today will hold in their
hands, at least for the next two years. the exclusive
power enact laws down to the laws by which
our streets and alleys are named.
The President selected today will have the power
of appointing the officers who will handle local gov
eminent in administrative way for the next few years
And Washingtonians can't do thing about it.
We can't participate in single election for Repre-
sentative and can't help to select the who will
designate our immediate governors.
Au this because many years ago Congress got
scared of little group of men UhO appeared before
it asking for UUhGt the group considered justice.
The matter of the vote is which public opinion
In Washington is not united.
Some believe that the city should have representatives
in Congress and should vote for President others believe
that the residents of the city should have vote in
lecting their city officials and still others believe
that the city should be content go along at present
Granting residents of the city participation in national
affairs through the election of Senators and Representa-
tves would require the enactment by the entire country
of an amendment to the Constitution.
Control local officials could be granted by the
passage through Congress Of simple bill and its sigma
ture by the President.
Local self government could be through an appeal
to Congress- national representation could only
through cumbersome campaign extending to the
try at large
Home-rule would give the people Of the District
chance to manage their local affairs through officers of
their own choosing.
National representation would give the people of the
District two members of Congress with the right
to vote on national and local legislation.
Either form of the vote might eventually bring about
the other.
But now we have neither.
THIS ELECTION DAY, SINCE IT COMES WITH
ONE PARTY PLEDGED TO SEEK AN INQUIRY
INTO THE LOCAL VOTE PROBLEM SHOULD
CAUSE CITIZENS TO EVALUATE THE VARIOUS
PLANS FOR SUFFRAGE AND TO GET ACTIVELY
BEHIND WHICHEVER ONE IS CHOSEN.

the rehabilitation Of long-neglected
city parks and the completion of ad-
ditional recreational centers for the

cited in the annual report Of the Ma

today.
While only page and a half were
devoted to the work Of the office Of
National Capital Parks. under the di-
rection of c. Marshall Finnan. the
public Importance of Washington's
great park and recreational areas is
indicated by the staggering estimate
of $4,000 persons who visited and
enjoyed them during the fiscal year
ended June 80. That was the esti-
mated gate" attendance.
Meanwhile, it was reported, the park
area is steadily growing. The addi-
tional acreage added during the year
was $3.50. At the end Of the year
the National Capital Parks system
comprised 692 reservations totaling
6,986.61 acres. OF these reservations,
$50, totaling 5,604.l1 acres were To-
Gated within the District of Columbia,
and two outside reservations totaled
1,155.01 acres in Virginia and 227.49
acres In Maryland.
The Mall development, in accord
anoe with the original plans Of Maj.
L'mfant, the planner Of the City of
Washington, is rapidly nearing COM

NEW j. s. BUILDING
LACKING
Omission in Ickes' Report
Explained by Future
Uncertainties.

Conspicuous avoidance Of any rec
ommendation for additional Federal
Office building in Washington to meet
the needs of New Deal expansion was
noted today in the annual report Of
Secretary of the Interior Ickes, who is
charged with supervising the space
control program of the Government.
The omission was all the more sig
nificant in view of the reported fact
that during the fiscal year "197 leases
were authorized and the rental Of the
Government in the District attained
a peak of approximately 2,766,000
square feet of space in 1913 buildings,
at an annual rental of approximately
$2,640. .000."
Even this estimate is incomplete.
officials explained later, since it omits
the rented quarters in the Mclean
mansion on I street and space that
was acquired for the Social Security
Board, which is spreading out into
Baltimore.
Recommendation as to future steps
to provide permanent housing for
rapidly growing Government agencies
are not being made at this time, space
control officials explained, because OF
the uncertainties Of the future. The
opening of the new Interior Depart
ment Building in a few months. 1t
was reported, will do much to relieve
the crowded space conditions under
which the Federal Government now
is carrying on its activities"
This building, the first erected BY
the New Deal, will have gross floor
area of 1,050,000 square feet and q
net usable area of TOO, 900 square feet,
and will accommodate approximately
5000 persons. Its early occupancy,
officials admitted, however, will
hardly solve the problem Of space as
the Government would then still be
renting approximately 1000, 900 square
feet of offices in this city alone.
While no new expenditures for con-
struction are sighted. the Government
has been spending $1,150.000 during
the fiscal year, 1t was reported. for
physical improvements and repairs to
Federal buildings, including elimina-
tion OF fire hazards.
The National Park Service, under
the law, is charged with the super
vision and operation Of approximately
ls,300.000 square feet Of door space,
100000 Of which are located In 81
Government owned buildings.
