J. C. WaIdron Admonishes
Them to Use Vote With
Great Care.

J. Clark Waldron OF the Office OF
Education, Interior Department, last
night delivered the prize winning
speech in the Junior Board of Com
merce broadcast at the election rally
on the Commerce Department Plaza,
Mr.. Waldron, who resides at 1880
Seventeenth street NV, voiced the
belief that Washington is going to
get the vote, and here I want to warn
you to exercise that right with great
care"
His speech follows:
There are three places in the world
I know of where people are not con-
sidered as citizens. One is Italy,
another is Germany, and the third is
Washington. D. c.. the Capital Of the
United States, the greatest democracy
in the world.
IT democracy is to work, then there
must be the machinery Of democracy.
1t is inconsistent that the people Of
the National Capital do not have the
right to vote.
Here we have on one hand the
evidences Of a great Capital, in which
there live free people, but without the
right to vote. Here you have great
buildings, magnificent temples Of
government; on the other hand you
have great slum areas You could
do something about those slum areas
II you had the right to vote.
II mean the vote for everyone, re-
gardless Of race, color or creed.
have studied government for q great
many years, because ! am interested
in good government, and I think I
remember someone said that ballots
are much better than bullets. I think
that If the founding fathers of this
country were to return. they would
say that they intended that the peo-
pie Of Washington. the same as the
people Of the rest Of the country,
should have the right to exercise the
first right of citizenship, the right to
vote.
II feel that Washington is going to
get the vote, and here want to warn
you to exercise that right with great
care. There are some places where
the right to vote does not count for
what it should. I am referring to
Kansas City, Mo, where the ma
chinery Of balloting has been largely
in the hands of a machine which has
destroyed in large measure the essen
tials Of clean government, which goes
along with the vote.
Let Washington have the right to
vote, and 1t will be q greater city be-
cause Of that right. Let the citizens
of Washington 60 forward in this great
pageant Of democracy"

There was an unconfirmed Chinese

town OF Tancheng, putting the jap
anese to flight, but this conflicted
with information from neutral sources
Chinese Counter Attack.

Chinese, combining sharp counter
thrustS with a sustained defensive
power. reported breaking up all Jap
anese efforts to penetrate the main
defense line along the Shantung-
kiangsu provincial border, east and
northeast of SuchoW.
Suchow is the junction 70 the East

charges that the open door principle
IN trade is being violated under
Japans domination of North China
conceded today with a statement by
the japanese e-dominated provisional
government Of China" that the open
door policy would be upheld.
The provisional government"
formed by Chinese at Peiping under
direction Of the japanese army, denied
reports that japanese oil monopoly
was being formed for North China.
The statement added. however, that
advances for japanese oil companies
in this territory were regarded as "a
matter of course" This was inter-
preted to mean more equal division of
business among Japanese American
and British companies. Hitherto most
OF the North China oil business has
been done by the American Standard
l and Texas Oil Cos and the British
Asiatic Petroleum Co.
Foreign diplomats in Peiping ex-
pressed belief Japanese already had
violated the open door by forming a
monopoly Of the raw wool trade. Pre-
