Committee of the Republican

the Districts representative on

Mr.. Councillors statement was we'll

Addressing the committee, Mr..
Councillor said:
Yesterday we heard some WELL
reasoned and impassioned oratory
demanding the inclusion in our plat
form of planks supporting equal
rights for certain groups-namely,
the women and the Negroes. But
these were demands of groups who
already have the right of suffrage.

of plank indorsing the elementary

Many Unaware of Situation.
1T Is amazing to find, as I have
since coming to Chicago, that there
are many on the Resolutions Com
mittee who are not even aware of
the fact that there is in these United
States an area in which there are
approximately half million resi-
dents of voting age who are denied
entirely the right of suffrage except
as they may have been able to re-
tain vote in State in which they
previously have lived. I refer to the
District of Columbia, which I have
the honor to represent.
"Of these half million persons,
there are perhaps 10000 who have
voting residence elsewhere and
who exercise the right of suffrage
largely by mail ballot.
The population of each of II
States is smaller than that of the
District of Columbia. and yet those
States which approach the District
in population have four presiden-
tial electors. two Senators and two
Representatives.
When it comes to paying taxes,
however, we are not forgotten.
