D. C. Seat in Congress
Forecast by Martin
With G. 0. P. Victory
The prospect of congressional
representation for the District
was held out last night by
Speaker Martin as “perhaps not
farther than the Republican
victory ahead.”
About 70 delegates at the District.
Republican Convention heard the
Speaker deviate from his prepared
keynote address to predict that
Tennessee “and other Southern
States’’ will be carried by the Re
publican^ in November.
The convention met in the Wil
lard Hotel without 20 young “in
surgents” who bolted the so-called
‘Wilkes-McGarraghy machine” last
week after an unsuccessful fight to
send the District delegates to the
Philadelphia convention next month
committed to a specific candidate.
Colladay to Head Delegation.
E. F. Colladay, attorney, was
elected last night to lead the unin
structed District delegation to the
Philadelphia convention. Elected
with him were Mrs. William S. Cul
bertson, wife of a former Ambassa
dor to Romania and Chile, and
George A. Parker, dean of the Ter
rell Law School.
Alternates elected are Clarence
B. Hewes, former foreign service
officer; Jesse M. Mitchell, president
of the Industrial Bank of Washing
ton, and Mrs. Elizabeth Botts, a
vice president of the Young Repub
lican Club.
Clyde P. Garrett, attorney, was
elected national committeeman for
the District, and Mrs. Thad Brown,
widow of a former member of the
Federal Communications Commis
sion, was elected national commit
teewoman. Technically, the two
new committee members were only
nominated by the convention. They
will be elected formally by the Dis
trict delegates at the convention in
Philadelphia.
"Absolutely unmsvrucieu.
The delegates will go “absolutely
uninstructed,” according to a state
ment made after the convention by
James C. Wilkes.
Last night’s convention officers,
the new members of the national
committee and the six delegates and
alternates to the national conven
tion were elected by suspending the
rules and having the secretary of
the convention George L. Hart, Jr.,
vote them unanimously.
Mr. Wilkes, chairman of the con
vention, announced later from the
platform that the election of all of
ficers had been previously arranged
and that, not later than Wednesday,
he had made up a full list of those
to be elected.
One of the principal points of dis
agreement between the regular Re
publicans and the “insurgents” was
that the organization did not con
duct Its elections on a democratic
basis but sought to perpetuate Its
rule by pre-arranged elections.
The Republicans took a leaf from
the book of Thomas Jefferson,
founder of the Democratic Party,
when, in a unanimously approved
platform they called for adoption of
the principle that "the least gov
erned are the best governed.”
Martin Held “Qualified.”
During the convention, the closest
the delegates got to an expression
of preference of candidates was in
a rising ovation to Mr. Martin, when
he was characterized as “fully quali
fied” to be either “the presiding of
ficer of the Senate” (Vice President
of the United States) or "as a ten
ant for the next eight years of 1600
Pennsylvania avenue."
Mr. Marun wui act as permanent
chairman at the Philadelphia con
vention.
Hailing the Eightieth Congress as
having halted the “centralization of
power” and as “having broken the
strangle-hold in which a political
monopoly held both Washington
and the Nation for 16 long years,”
Speaker Martin charged that the
New Deal, in which he inferentially
included the Truman administra
tion, was “but a vest pocket edition
of state socialism.”
Only one mention was made dur
ing the three-hour meeting of the
young men who bolted the organiza
tion last week. Their names were
called out in the roll call as if
nothing had happened. Later Mr.
Wilkes referred to them briefly as
“not Insurgents, for they never
participated in Republican activi
ties from which they could insurge.”
10-Point Platform.
The convention adopted a 10
point platform which the delegates
will take with them to Philadelphia.
It asks:
1. A Constitutional amendment
giving the District suffrage and
representation in Congress.
2. That District political plums
not be given as reward for political
service to non-residents.
3. An adequate national defense

Insurgents Flan Appeal.
Meanwhile, counsel for the In
surgent group planned to take to
the Court of Appeals their fight to
nullify recent precinct elections and
start all over again.
Justice T. Alan Goldsborough yes
terday threw out of District Court
a complaint that sought to halt last
night’s meeting of the party regulars
and to ask the court to order new
elections.
The court held, however, that It
was without jurisdiction In the dis
pute, because no election laws exist
In the District.
Attorney Marvin Wllllg, repre
senting the insurgents, argued that
his group, by the very fact no
election laws were bn the statute
books in Washington, sought relief
under common law as their only
recourse.
