Menke wrote the board:

Long Time Ago

Jim Braddock's father mi
grated to America in 1889, from
Manchester, England, and on
the same boat was Jake Kilrain
and Charley Mitchell, en- route
to this country for the John l..
Sullivan fight.
Only five of the 13 pitchers
on the 1888 Yankee staff did
not come up through the farm
system: Lefty Gomez, Bump
Hadley, Ivy Andrews, Monte
Pearson and Charley Ruffing.
That ought to be the tipoff on
chain-store baseball.
Before the Braddock Farr
fight, the winner was supposed
to meet Max Baer, but since the
fight there's been only talk of
rematching them. Why, I don't
know, for one can't hit, the
others legs are gone, and neither
was able to get the other on

National Representation
For District of Columbia
BY EDWARD F. COLLADAY,

fTeSlQent Oh the bOarQ OF trade.
The citizens Of Washington will be
faced, on Saturday, with an opportu-
nifty, the result OF which will mean
much in the future history Of the Ma
tional Capital. There should be an
outpouring of the entire community
to the polls so that Congress and the
enfranchised citizens Of the country
may, in no uncertain terms, realize
the desire of the people Of Washington
to become politically American cit
izens Failure to take advantage CT
this opportunity may seriously retard
the ultimate goal Of enfranchisement
of the residents of the Capital Of our
Nation for many years.
It has been my privilege to have
been identified with this vital objective
since its very beginning and to be as
sociated with the outstanding citizens
over a period Of many years in the
cause of political equity. National rep
resentation, that is the right to vote
for President. Vice President, repre-
sentation in Congress and the right to
sue and to be used in the Federal
Courts, has long been an objective of
the Board of Trade, of which am, at
the time, president. The Board OF
Trade is now the oldest organized ad-
vocate of national representation,
fundamentally perhaps the most i'm
portant plank in the platform on
which it has stood for many years. It
is now the pioneer organization of the
Citizens Joint Committee on National
Representation, which represents 40
local organizations combined for the
purpose of achieving this objective. It
is the inalienable right of every Amer
ican citizen to participate in the af-
fairs of his National Government
through the right Of franchise. It Is,
indeed, an ironical situation that here
in the city, the seat of our Federal
Government and the soul of our demo-
cratic aspirations. should be the only
spot in which the tyranny Of taxation
without representation still exists, 162
years after July 4, 1776.
AS we look over the world and con-
slider its unsettled state today. We find
that even the supreme dictators per-
NIT the right of franchise even though
1t may be mere formality, and it

VETERANS IN '29
BACKED SUFFRAGE
Former Department Head
Recalls National Body
Favored D. c. Vote.

In letter to The Star today, Past
Department Commander Harvey l..
Miller, District of Columbia Depart
ment, Veterans of Foreign Wars, re-
called the Endorsement in 1929 of
suffrage for the District by the
national body.
His letter follows:
I'm 1929 while 1 was department
commander of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars, the department unanimously
went on record in favor of suffrage
for the District of Columbia with
instructions to request such a reso-
luton at the national convention Of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The
same resolution included a section in
favor Of legalized boxing for the Dis
tr1ct Of Columbia.
when the resolutions were intro
duced on the floor of the national
convention at st. Paul, Mimi. an
objection was raised by delegate
from Texas who wanted to know why
either suffrage for the District of
Columbia or boxing for the District
OF Columbia had to come before the
national body as that, in his opinion,
was a strictly local departmental
matter.
1T was pointed out to him that
the only reason for bringing such
resolutions to the national encamp-
ment was because we had no voice in
civic affairs in the District of Co.
lumbia and that we wanted, under
the Veterans of Foreign Wars doc
trlne of aiding comrades in distress,
the national organization of the Vet
Grams of Foreig, Wars to 60 on
record in favor OF residents of the
District of Columbia enjoying the
same rights and privileges accorded
citizens of the United States in the
various States of the Union
The delegate from Texas then
withdrew his objection and the nat
ional body of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars went on record unanimously in
favor of suffrage for the District of
Columbia and for legalized boxing for
the District of Columbia"
