u Some paper undertakes TO snlve the Kan
sas Congressional question, by proposing that
each of the present Districts nominate aud elect
two members, and the State at large elect the
seventh one. We doubt very much whether
that would be according to law, and in case of
close House, might result in keeping out all the
Kansas members but the elected at large.
No District is entitled To elect two members, ex-
cept where the State comprises hut one District.

where there is an increase of members, and no
appnrtionment is made before the election. all
the members in excess of the number of Districts
shall be elected by the State at large.
