Coffee Wires Pledge
OF All Aid 10 Cause
OF D. {. Suffrage

Representative Coffee, Democrat
of Washington, chairman of the
House District Subce ernhiittee on Ap-
preparations, today promised he
would do all he could to further the
cause of suffrage for voteless Wash
tngtonians.
In telegram to The Star, he said
Warmly commend Washington
newspapers for their support of un-
official plebiscite to secure express
sion of residents of the National
Capital on proposal that they be
vouchsafed privilege of voting in 10.
cal and national elections. 1 con.
gratulate the Board of Trade and
other civic bodies In Washington fol
arranging such a referendum.
Il have long been persuaded of the
justice granting to voteless Wash
ingtonians this privilege, this right
and will do all ! can to further the
cause. S~
"It is un-Anerican to deprive any
Of our citizens of their most sacred
prerogative. Furthermore, participa-
tion in voting is calculated to en-
courage deeper interest in public
affairs on the part of the people.
Racial prejudice should be pushed
aside as covert objection. OF all
places, the National Capital should
not be the orphan child of our coun-
try. Am anxious to work for objec-
tives of making the National Capital
an outstanding example of munich
pal government in America. Wish
could be personally present to
make an address on this referen-
dunn"
Representative Healy, Democrat,
of California, member of the House
District Committee, declared his be-
lief that the unofficial suffrage ref
erendum results on election day
would have a beneficial effect on
Congress. He was acting chairman
of the District Committee during
the closing days Of the Seventy
ninth Congress.
He wired The Star from Los An
geles: II have previously gone on
record In favor Of local and national
suffrage for the District of Columbia
and will continue to support this
program Heartily recommend pro-
ceeding with your unofficial plebis-
cite on election day this year. Be-
lieve that results of the plebiscite
will have beneficial effect on mem
bers of Congress. Good Luck"
Other congressional comment in
response to a telegraphic poll by
The Star:
Representative Lemke, Republican,
North Dakota: Have you ever con-
sidered that the District should be
allowed to participate in the elec-
tions in the State of Maryland? This
is just suggestion
Representative Flood, Democrat,
Pennsylvania: IT am in favor of ref
erendum with reference to local and
national suffrage for the District of
