Suffrage

An appeal to voters of the Ma
ton to aid citizens of the District
In their fight for suffrage was
voiced last night by Fulton Lewis
IT., Mutual broadcasting system
commentator, over a coaSt-to
coast network.
Residents Of the District of
Columbia, you know" Lewis
told his national audience, ARE
not allowed to vote. We have
no representation in Congress
II have never voted, my
father, my grandfather and
even my great-grandfather lived
here in the District-and they
never voted"
Lewis described how the citizens
of Washington will march to mock
polls today to demand voice in
the administration Of their city
anc their nation. He added:
For democracy that
sounds very strange. but it is
true.
Congress makes our laws. >.
Congress levies our taxes. and
all we can do Is sit by quietly
ard bear 1t.
The only way the people Of
the District can get a vote is
by an act Of Congress the
only way we can have an act
Of Congress is for the people
Of the country as a whole, to
have their representatives-who
are in Congress-to do some
thing about it."

Bumper Crops

No news to shoppers Is the boun-
tiful supply Of potatoes from last
years crop. Since last June. po-
tato prices have been rather low.
And this January there were al
most one-fourth more potatoes on
hand for market than there were
last year at the same time.
This big potato crop is mainly
result of the weather. Growing
conditions during 1887 were unus-
ually favorable in most parts of
the country. And although less
land went into potato production,
big yields made the crop large
one.
Dried beans, rice, and sweet po-
tatoes are also abundant on the
market now. And of all three of
these crops the weather of 1887
helped to produce a large supply.
There Is another way that the
weather affects our food supply
although we can't estimate the ac-
tual influence. That is in the way
weather affects our domestic ami
mails.

that oyster beds are clean and are
