Representative O'Connell Demo-
crat Of Montana said yesterday a con-
ference OF liberals at Madison, Wis.
this week would provide "a very excel
lent opportunity" for the group to in
dorse President Roosevelt for a third
term.
Gov. Philip La Toilette of Wisconsin
called the conference for Thursday,
inviting 5000 and 5000 persons.
The Montanan, usually aligned with
a liberal bloc in the House, said many
persons he had talked to agreed that
il the Democratic party failed to re-
nominate Mr.. Roosevelt 1t would be
very wise" for the liberals to support
him to head q third party In this
country.
And although I don't agree with
Gov. La Toilette in all his condemna-
tion Of the Roosevelt administration"
Mr.. O'Connell added, Il believe his
call for this conference is wise and
timely"
Hit Lending Program.
Gov. La Toilette has criticized the
Presidents lending and spending pro-
gram as "tinkering and patching" He
contends the administration should
not have reduced public works SPEND
ing last year.
Speaker Bankhead told reporters he
thought the meeting of liberals might
have some significance" regarding the
1910 presidential campaign.
The speaker added, however, he
thought the liberals would do little
toward electing Republicans in the
congressional elections this year. In
stead, he said. he thought they would
concentrate on sending more Progress
sives to Congress.
Representative Schneider. Progress

National Representation
For District of Columbia
BY FORD E. YOUNG.

President of the Merchants and Manufac-
turerS Association.
Legislation which would correct an
injustice, which has existed in the
District of Columbia since the incep-
ton of this country, and which would
grant to the half million residents of
the Nations Capital their inalienable
right, is now pending in Congress.
The citizens of Washington ask for
legislation which would not deprive
Congress of its exclusive control of
the District which is imposed upon it
by the Constitution, but they do de-
sire representation in Congress, to
which they are entitled as American
citizens
The proposition for national repre-
sentation to be provided by constitu-
tional amendment empowers Congress
to grant to District residents represen-
tation in Congress and the electoral
college the same as all other citizens
of the various States. but grants no
other powers and attributes of state
hood. 1t does not admit the District
to the status of State nor does 1t
provide or propose the destruction of
the "l0-mile-square" provision of the
Constitution. nor lessen In any way
whatsoever the control Of the District
by the Nation.
This solution of the problem of rep
resentation harmonizes two great fun
damental principles:
First, that In this Republic all Amer
ican citizens should have the oppor-
tunity to participate in the affairs
of their National Government: and
second, the principle laid down by the
Congress. should have exclusive control
of the Nations Capital.
While Washingtonians differ widely
in their opinions as to the best form
of local government. and as to whether
or not the local school board should
be elected, there is unanimity OF
opinion that all residents of the Dis
trict should be permitted to participate
on equal terms with all other Amer
ican citizens in the National Govern
ment. which makes theiE. laws, levies
taxes upon them and sends them to
war.
This disfranchised District sent
more soldiers and sailors to the World
War than seven Of the States, while
in percentage Of voluntary enlistments
the District surpassed 43 Of the 48
States Of the Union.
This politically alien District is con-
tributing in national taxes greater
amount than % Of the States. and
greater tax per capita than A Of the
States.
This District has population larger
than any one of 10 States, while its
percentage of illiteracy (about one and
one-half per cent? is less than SO
States.
While the District can boast of such
unusual qualifications for fitness for
admission as sovereign State, no such
demand Is sought. All that is asked
is that the Constitution empower Con-
gress to declare that the residents Of
the District of Columbia are accorded
the same rights as enjoyed by all other
American citizens in relation only to
Congress. the electoral college and the
courts of the United States.
The proposed constitutional amend
ment does not reduce the power OF
Congress in respect to the Capital, but
simply adds new power; it does not
disturb the financial relation of Nation
and Capital; nor does it propose or

other business establishments put

amateur safe-cracking gang.
Inspector Thompson sent q memo
randum to all bureaus and precinct

all officers be instructed to give special
attention to all business places having
safes and report at once any sus-
picious circumstances to the Detective
Bureau"
