ssalike. aud such representatives would be
legal but would it be fair in point u fact,
for Person aud Caswel 10 say to Grunge I:
Yes. although you ageour Tug Boat which
safely brings Us across the breakers. yet
you shall have mona Of your men to repre-.
sent US in the next Senate. Is ( fair for
! Person Or Caswcll TO say, Orange you may
/ do the voting, ...and We expect you to give
us big najority, yet we will send our men,
50 stand back Its we'll known, that Per-
son county although Is true Us steel has
not the population which entities her u j
Senator, and that in herself although eve
ry vote she gives might be Democratic yet
she could not scnd = Senator; hence il was
necessary 70 attach her u son,e other coun-
~. II would not do 10 attach Der 10 Uaswell
for it was thu right that Csswel's Repuhli-
can majority would override Persons De-
nlocratic majority. and then We would lose
