to the House Yesterday
WASHINGTON, May 3.--Rcpresentative
McCommas Of Maryland to-day reported
to the house from the committee his bill
to prevent RerrymanderinR. The report
is long and includes an elaborate review
and discussion Of the constitutional ques-
tions involved. II says in part, speaking
OF gerrymandcring: At the last election
for congressman In Indiana, for instance,
the majority vote for congressman elected
three representatives. but the minority
vote elected ten representatives. such
gcrrymandering is u crime against the
general government and the people of the
whole nation. This bill will at least COM
pei representation suppressed by the
minority in the white states, it will check
reckless gcrrymandering In the
states OF the black belt, and make
IL easier for representatives elected
therein To obtain certification of election.
II will respect equally states rights and
the rights of the United States. II per-
mits states To continue TO make regula-
tions for the election Of congressman, but
warns states that the national constitu-
tion had been adopted establishing real
and not shadowy government sovereignty
of the people represented in the executive
and congress, and that congress will ex-
crcisc its powers to make or alter the
state regulation of time, place and man
ncr of holding elections for representa-
tves in congress, tn secure districts more
compact as TO territory, more stable in
duration and TO secure greater equality OF
population behind the representatives In
congress. These things the states have
failed To do.
Tucker, of Virginia submitted the re-
port of the minority. After n bitter criti-
