Here What Your Nehbors Think of the Suffrage Vote Result

Miss Caroline Delebar, q retired
government worker Of 1921 Crit
tenden st. N. w.: Both my sister,
Miss Katherine Delebar, and my.
self voted for suffrage for the Dis.
trict. Although we both still main
tain our legal voting residence in
West Virginia, we pay local taxes
and believe that the citizens Of
the District should have q voice
in how our money is spent.
J. r. Arnold, 1902 GaIlatin st.
N. w.: It's a step forward, and we
may look for better business If it
goes through.
Mrs. Sadie Sheridan, 1415 Cor.
cOran st. N. w.: think we should
have the vote. We should have
had it before this.
Alice M. Clinard, 1749 Columbia
Rd.:: If this wonderful demonstra-
ton of public MISUNDERSTANDING
to the heaviest vote in any refer
endum in the city's history-does
not show Congress we mean bust
ness, what will?
Esther c. O'ROurke, 1749 Column
bia Rd.: I was born here-I have
seen the city held back by lack
Of intelligent government-and I
am glad the strength of sentiment
was to / in the voteleSS vote. It
would be greater than that in any
real vote.
Kay Nackem, 1749 Columbia
Rd.: Two years residence. here has
been enough to show the feeling
Of longtime Washingtonians to-
ward their city. If it is their city
and they are taxed to support
it-they should take heart that
they may eventually run it.
Mrs. Howard HanSbrOugh, 3O3S
Vista Pl. N. E.: Both my husband
and myself are in favor Of the
people of Washington having a
vote, and we have no fear as to
the colored people selling their
votes.
Mrs. Aksel Hansen, S14 UpShur
st. N. w.: I really wouldn't want
to say anything about it, although
I do think that it would be nice
If the people here had a little to
say in what is going on.
Mrs. Alfred Hansen, sos Quack.
enbOs st. N. w.: I certainly do feel
that we should have q vote, and I
don't feel that it will cause our
taxes to go any higher than what
we are now paying.
Mrs. Arnold Hansen, 2516 Cliff
bourne Pl. N. W.: I feel that Wash
ington should have and Is entitled
to a vote. ..-.

the movement for suffrage here.

Thoroughly approve the efforts to

pie as regards to suffrage. The
final results remain to be seen.

Coming from q town ridden with
politics, I do not approve Of sui

if we had the vote in Washington.

land, and am positive we should
have it in the District.

Meridian PI.: Suffrage is the one
real thing the District certainly
needs.
DIR. J. Walter Bernhard, 1885
