This is a low estimate and shows that
the thirteen counties, on the present ba-
sis of representation in congress, would
be entitled to over three congressman
The natural districts to be made from
these counties would be, Tarrant, Ellis,
! johnson and Hill, in one district. Dali
las, kaufman, Rockwell and Collin, an
4 other district. Grayson, Cooke and
Denton, another district, with McLen-
nan and Navarro counting so 200 popu-
lation to go into a fourth district. 1t is
not at all improbable that the three
counties of Ellis, johnson and Tsrrant
| will show sufficient population to make q
district, and these three counties lie close
| together. Dallas, Collin and Graysnn
would show more than enough for dis
triet'20
