changed, StXty-siX members, It is estimated,
will be added 10 the House OF Representatives
as the result OF the next census. OF these.
eleven are assigned TO the Eastern and Middle
states, forty TO the Western states and fifteen
to the Southern States. The largest proper
tiOnate increase is found in the case OF Kansas,
which jumps from representation of three to
one OF seven. California increases from four to
seven, and Texas sends ten instead of six. New
York adds five TO her number. Illinois, Iowa,
Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Wisconsin send four additional members In each
case, and the representations Of Indiana and
Minnesota are augmented by two each. On
the superstition that the apportionment Is cor
rect, the electoral vote in 1SS4 will be divided
sectionally as follows: Eastern and Middle
States, 12i; Western states, 49, Southern States,
13S. In this estimate the vote OF the Solid
South as compared with the total vote does not
make very alarming showing, and with every
year its relative strength, like that OF the New
England states, will grow smaller
