successfully hidden" Senator Lucas
said.
only a few weeks ago Senator
Taft let his real sentiments be

All Kentuckians Here
To Vote in PIebiscite

Senator Stanfill, Republican, of
Kentucky, today called on all people
from his State now In Washington
to vote in the District suffrage pleb-
iscite on November 5.
In a statement to- The. Star he
charged that denial of the vote to
Washingtonians was a violation of
one of the -Four Freedoms-the
Freedom of Expression"
He said:
Because I believe that 1t is
gravely important that all of the
people of the United States be per-
mitted to select men of their choice
for public Office, I urge all former
KentuckianS now living in WASH
tngton to vote in the November
plebiscite here inlthe District.
One of freedoms Denied.
II have heard overwhelming rea-
sons why the District of Columbia
should permit its citizens to vote
and no sound reason why they
should not.
"One of the -Four Freedoms,
Freedom of Expression is denied
a great portion of our people here
in the District of Columbia. There
is no freedom of expression where
many of our citizens are denied the
right to elect their representatives
who may express their will in the
halls of Congress.
IT have spoken several times over
the radio on behalf of legislation
that will permit the people of the
District to vote for their own rep
resentatives. I urge again that
every person able and qualified to
go to the polls and register your
will on this matter on November s."
