WEST AND SOUTH 1 MAY GAIN SEATS CENSUS FIGURES TO FIX SIZE OF CONGRESS i Opposition Has Been Frequently Expressed to House Being Made Larger. i . Washington, Oct. 9 (By the Associated Press).?Examination of the final census figures of the country v which place the total population of the continental United States at 105,685,108, indicates that the West and the South proportionately will gain more in a political way than the East or Middle West through increased membership in the house of representatives, more votes in the electoral college and in larger delegations to the national political conventions. This result will obtain whatever basis of apportionment is adopted by congress next winter, fixing the size of the next'house, which, in turn, is reflected in the electoral college and the conventions of the big political parties. * i"? 1 O AS a result 01 tne increase ui io,)t 710,842 in population during the past ten years, 50 new seats must be added to the house to prevent any state from losing any part of its present representation. Should . the present membership of 435 be left unchanged by increasing the basis of apportionment, there will have to be a transfer of 13 seats, now held by 12 states, to nine other states. For the past half a century the precedent has 'been to increase thej size of the house so as to prevent loss: of existing representation by any state. As a result, the house has) grown from 243 . to 435 members, with only three states?Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont?losing one Jpember each in the last 50 years. If this precedent is followed this year, five additional representatives seats must be given to California, four each for New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan, three to Illinois and Texas, two to Massachusetts, New Jersey and North Caro" T- A- A 1-1 Aw* una, ana one ea.cn to Aiauama, axizona, Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Virginia, Arkansas and Minnesota. While the present basis of appor-1 tionment is 211,877 inhabitants or its major fraction to the congressional district, congress can increase the basis to 219,427 without causing any loss. To advance beyond the latter figure will mean that Maine ? would lose one seat, while Montana would fail to gain one, with the net result of 48 new seats in con gress. Congressional leaders are strongly opposed to any large increase in the house as they regard the present membership of 435 as too unwiedly, when the house census committee, headed by Representative Siegel of New York, begins consideration of the problem, effort will be made to* hold down the increase. But pressure for- the increase is expected to come from the states which would benefit from a large house. Only once?in 1840?has the size <vf Kniico ViPon rA^iirpd. At one other time, just before the Confed-j erate war, the apportionment wasi held down, with the resulting loss of, seats falling most heavily on the j Southern states. By holding the ho^lse membership! to 435, gains would1 be distributed j with three to California, two to! Michigan and Ohio, and one each to j Connecticut, New Jersey, North Car- ; olina, Oklahoma, Texas and Wash-, ington.. To offset these gains Missouri would be forced to lose two congressmen, while Indiana, Iowa,! Kansas, Kentucky, Lousiana, Maine | Mississippi, Nebraska, Rhode Island, Vermont and Virginia would lose one! each. All other states would retain j their present numerical delegations-J - ill cungieaa. i At the last session of congress some Republican leaders expressed opposition to any change in the house that would be of profit to the South. I However, the new census does not indicate that the South can be affected without a corresponding effect on states where the Republicans might not be inclined to reduce the delegations. By fixing the apportionment basis so that Maine and Missouri would each lose one seat, the increased population of the country as represented in congress can be absorbed by a net increase of 27 seats. The apportionment basis then would be 219,583, or major fraction, and 17 states would absorb the net increase as also the two seats lost by Maine and Missouri. These gains would be distributed with California getting four; Michigan, Ohio and New York ? three; Pennsylvania, New Jersey ana Texas two, and Arkansas, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Mexico.

LJ BiyiPl: ^J' j JERSEY WOMAN, 103, EXPECTS TO VOTE THIS FALL FOR FIRST TIME. ( For the first time, although she c was 103 years old June 23, Mrs. ^ Samuel Barron of Woodbridge, N. J., ^ expects to vote this fall. Also voting A for the first time will be her daugh- j ter, aged 80, her granddaughter and ? her great grandson. I c J Oklahoma, Washington and Wiscon- ? | sin, one each. ? By eliminating Wisconsin from the 1 states gaining one seat, and by add- 1 ing Iowa to those losing one, the ap- I portionment basis might" be placed at 1 230,096, or major fraction, and this would give a net increase of 23 in ' the house membership. i Tj. J _ _: J ? J 1,^1 J 4-l,? , it may ue. ueciucu iu uuiu vuc a^v j c increase to less than a score, which j might be accomplished by causing 'Missouri to lose two seats and Iowa, y Kentucky, Maine and Indiana, one | each. t The apportionment basis would be 234,947 inhabitants to the congres- ] jSional district with a net increase of ( 114 in the size of the house. These < ! seats and- those lost by Missouri, ? j Iowa, Kentucky, Maine' and Indiana, j would be distributed as follows: California, four; Michigan and Ohio, j three; Texas, two, and Connecticut, j Illinois, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania " and Washington, one each. } Regardless of the apportionment j basis, the swing in political power . will be first toward the Pacific coast 1 ; and the Rocky Mountain states, fol- < (lowed by the South, the East and. the j ] i Middle West. California's big gain ; j j in inhabitants m tne las- ten years 1 I accounts' for most of the swing to- t ,ward the coast. While the census showed for. the j first time in the history of the coun- . try that the farm to city movement ] of population has resulted in the last ten years .in the cities gaining the majority of population, the increase ] of strictly city members in congress j probably will net be great. Confined ( strictly to the city boundaries, only I four big centers of population? [New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and ? Detroit?seemed entitled to more r I members in the house than at present. . ( The problem of individual districts, j however, is not one with which congress concerns itself. The congres- ' ! sional apportionment is made by i states and, when completed, the fight j over the district boundaries within I ! a state is shifted to the state legislatures. There, it is expected, will come the controversy between the | city and the rural districts for con- ' trol of house seats. I ? ] A WEDDING INTERESTING 5 TO MANY NEWBERRIANS : I J Columbia, S.
