DISTRICT HEADS
OPPOSE NUNC
OF DELEGATES
Fear Representative in House

Capital Affairs.
WILSON
DECLARES
HEWILLSTANDPAT
ON CHICAGO SPEECH
President - Elect Gives Out
Statement Following His
Views at Banquet.
On the grounds that it "would be
the means of introduction ot par
tisan politics, and detrimental to the
best interests of the District, the(
Commissioners sent to Congress to
day an unfavorable report on the
bill Introduced by Congressman Cur
ry of New Mexico to provide a dele
gate from the District of Columbia
to the House of Representatives. A
delegate, the Commissioners say,
might differ with the board upon
matters of pending legislation, and
thus be a hindrance rather than an
aid in the dispatch of public busi
ness. , Commission Is Opposed.
The Commissioners arguments against
the. proposed legislation are set forth In
the following letter addressed to Con
gressman Ben Johnson, chairman of the
House District Committee.
"The Commissioners' have carefully
considered the proposition embodied in
the bill and lo not believe that Its -enactment
will be-in the best Interests of
the District. They believe that sooner
or, later the election of such delegate
would becomp a matter of partisan
politics and inject Into the conduct of
municipal affairs lines of "discussion and
action not beneficially pertinent to the,
municipal business.
"If ft should' be deemed durable that
the affairs of the District before Con
gress should be advocated on the floor
of the House or Senate or both by
.'some one not a member of Congress,
that function could be as readily dis
charged by one of the Cpmmlsfcloners as
by a delegate to be chosen as proposed
In the till under consideration.
"But the' Commissioners are not con
evinced that there is any necessity for
lntrMitii tinnn th flnnr nf rftnorftM?
the members of 'the committees on the
District of Columbia and of the subcommittees-.on
.appropriation of the
Senate and House of Representatives.
. become familiar by personal study and
in the discussions In committee, with
proposed District .legislation, and are
therefore obviously, fully competent to
presenti such matters as effectively as
a delegate could do. This would seem
to render' the services of a delegate
superfluous.
' "Furthermore a delegate. If elected.'
might and probably would occasionally
ainer in opinion irom tne commissioners
upon matters of pending legislation and
thus be a. hindrance rather than an aid
In the dispatch of.pubHo business. Vvef
n at uraes uie judgment ot tne aeiegate
might appear the better, it cannot be
regarded as'a good policy ioTexpostt the
. District's Interest to the possibility of
auch dissension.
Fear Sufirage Extension ' c
"Furthermore, the Commissioners are
convinced that It. was the intention of
the framers of the Constitution to ex
clude from the seat of government
everything that would divert from Con
gress the responsibility of exercising exclusive-
Congressional legislation over
and within the National Capital. The
grant of the privilege of electing a
delegate would be a precedent for urg
lng an unlimited extension of local suf
frage' to municipal objects.
"The Commissioners regard the In
terests of the whole country In the Dis
trict of Columbia as Irreconcilable with
any system ot control that does not
recognite the paramount and undivided
right and responsibility of the Govern
ment! over its administrative affairs."
The bill provides for the election of a
District delegate every two years and
confers upon hlra the same rights and
privileges exercised by the delegates
from-tbe several Territories. Provision
is' made also that he be a member of
the Committee on the District of Columbia.
TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 15. "I have
nothing to say. I'll stand pat."
That was the comment of President
elect Wilson today on the reports pub
lished today that Wall Street was pan
icky over his post-election speeches.
While Governor Wilson would make
no statement, he did not seem the least
bit alarmed but was in excellent spirits
and went about his day's work as if he
hadn't a care in the world.
Later his secretary, Joseph P. Tum
ulty, acting In his capacity as the
President-elect's confidential adviser,
and presumably at the direction of
Governor Wilson, Issued the following
statement:
"Attempts arc being made to make
an Issue of Governor Wilson's speech
at Chicago. This is nothing less than
amusing. Governor Wilson's attitude on
business and its relations to the Gov
ernment, as expressed In his several
speeches since election is, as any well
informed person in the country would
testify, exactly the same as his attitude
before his nomination und before his
election.
"In Complete Harmony."
"Every word that Governor Wilson
has uttered is In complete harmony
with the principles to which he has
strictly adhered throughout his public
career.
"If there Is any surprise at this at
titude It can be manifested only by
those who fall to realize that the country-
has elected to the Presidency an
honest and fearless man who means ex
actly what he says."
On the heels of his statement at the
luncheon of Presidential electors, when I
he said he would pick only progressives,
presumably for his Cabinet, Governor
WilBon today held a long conference
with Senator-elect OHIe James of Ken- j
tucky. and expected to be visited by
Senators Stohe of Missouri and Gard-1
ner of Maine, all three being membersl
of the progressive wing of the Senate. I
Governor Wilson today made public a
curious telegram of condemnation from
"John W. Williams." of New York.
Asks for Publicity.
"I want this mado public," he said,
"because I wfcnt the country to know
that I get that sort of criticism from
New York."
The telegram follows:
"Don't be such a fool. Use your
brains and keep your mouth shut. Don t
be a silly ass and make the whole
The President-elect said he did not
know Williams, except that ho had re
ceived several letters from a man of
,1n nnrv-.a Tf fa hlffVpri hftfA that ClftV
crnor Wilson's purpose. In giving out

he Is not concerned over criticism from
the financial center of the country. He
would not explain why he made tho
telegram public..

curing at present a new bridge across
