gentlemen wish to speak, it rather deers me from granting
his request.

The Political Growth Of Ohio is one

hibils the expansive power Of the Repre-.
sentative system in remarkable manner.
Mr.. Mansfield, writing from Ohio, gives
the following in a table Of the increase Of
Representatives in Congress. after each
successive census From 1903 10 1919
Ohio had 1; 1919 10 1898, 8: 1923 TO
1888, 10; 1893 10 1919, 10; l643 10

When Ohio had one representative,
Virginia had 10. Now Virginia has Is
and Ohio 81. The man now lives in his
plain frame house on the banks Of the
Miami'who was for ten years the sole Re-
preventative Of Ohio, in the Congress Of
the United States. No parallel 10 this
fact can be found on record. Should
Congress advance The ratio of representa-
tives from 10000 (,he presen. number)
10 10000. still The Representatives Of
Ohio will greatly increase.
