WASHINGTON, Aug. Tt be- gins to look as though the people who live in Washington are going to get to vote.
 The 60-year battle for suffrage is coming to a head. For the first time, so far as can find out citizens of the Nations Capital got one of the major parties to stick 8 silver of plank in their platform saying: We also favor the extension of the right of suffrage to the people of the Dis trict of Columbia
 It happened at Chicago and un- der ordinary circumstances action on the plank would be deferred until after the elections, or in other words until the next session of Congress. But it seems certain that Congress will work right on through, and already congress- man has thrown down the glove to Rep. Jennings Randolph, of West Virginia, saying in effect If you and your party are so eager for this suffrage, why don't you get up a measure at once and pass it?" And MT. Randolph an- swered, in effect: That's exactly what we hope to do."

 In fact. two of the members of the House Subcommittee on Army and National Defense didn't even come to Juneau. Representatives Joe Stanes of Alabama and D. D. Terry of Arkansas left the Alaska Clipper at Aux Bay and boarded a PAA Electra at the Mendendall air field to fly to Fairbanks.
 Two other members of the sub- committee came to Juneau to board the Coast Guard cutter Haida, which already had steam up and which left at 6:30 o'clock for Seward. Con- gressmen aboard are Representa- tives G. B. Snyder of Pennsylvania and George A. Mahon of Texas.
 Col. s. H. Sherrill accompanies the Congressmen as military advisor. He is aboard the Haida.
 Others leaving on the Haida irl- cluded Gov Ernest Gruening, who is going to the Westward to organize National Guard companies and to attend a meeting of the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Corporation at Palmer; Major Jesse E. Graham, organizing the National Guard, and Lieut.. Commander J. s. MacKinnon, in charge of the Juneau branch of- flee of the 18th Naval District.

vote, self-government, or represen- tation in Congress.
 There are IA states that have less or only slightly greater pop ulation than the district yet each has two Senators, some as many as three Representatives. and all have votes in the electoral col lege.
 What form the suffrage mea- sure will take is anybodys guess, but mine is that the district will not get the right of self-govern- ment nor representation in Con- gress. They tried the former once and it didn't work. Besides, even measure just providing for the districts right to vote for Presi- dent is going to run into difficult ties. There are lot of persons, in Congress and out, who feel that district residents should be kept out of the political melee.

WASHINGTON-Jim Farley made S68,500 from his best-selling book, Behind the Ballots inside story of how Roosevelt won the presidency in 1892. Jim is now convinced he has the material for another book that should be worth at least $1OO000.
 It's the inside story of his re- lations with the President as a member of the Cabinet, of their rift over political policies, the third term, Jim's own presidential am- bitions, and the hectic behind-the- scenes events at the recent Chi cago convention.
 Jim has filing cases of carefully preserved material for his mem oirs. Only intimates know it, but he has also kept detailed diary of every days events since he tied up with Roosevelt nine years ago. The first thing Jim did after the Chicago convention was to hide himself away for three days to dictate his own account of what happened behind the scenes. in- cluding two brief telephone conver- sations with Roosevelt and an equally brief personal meeting with White House generalissimo Harry Hopkins.
 But one important part of Jim s new book is still missing-the last chapter.
 He still has to secure the Presi- dents explanation of two key points: One, what caused him, be- ginning early in 1888. gradually to ease Jim out of the picture as po- litical helmsman; and two, whether the President really did oppose Far ley's presidential ambitions because he is a Catholic
