states that the recent apportionments dis
franchise one-half Of Kansas, only twenty
out of the forty counties being represent

census was taken, the representation is al
lowed on the list of voters by the old cleo
ton books for other counties.
A letter had been written to acting Gov.
Stanton asking for an election by precints.
He replied that he could do nothing in
the matter, there being no law to supply
the omission.

The seed should be sown in rows sufficient

of proper size, and afterward kept free
from weeds and worms.
