The political complexion Of the
First district is not much changed
in the new deal. The Second
district becomes reliably Repub-
lican by the addition of the large vote of
that party in Sacramento. The Third
district is as now, Republican strong
hold that nothing can shake.
In the Fourth and Fifth districts.
the vote south OF Market street
is divided SO rs to save the Republicans
the expenditure Of Doodle. The Sixth
and Seventh are practically division of
the old Sixth into two new districts.
Santa Cruz is taken out of the old Fifth
for part of the new Sixth. All the
other counties are parts of the old Sixth.
There ought to be chance for Demo-
cratic congressman in this district, The
Seventh, which will be ours hereafter,
may be regarded as rather healthy
Republican district. Its natural Repub-
lican majority, as things stand now,
would be about 1000 votes.
Here is Judge Dibble's estimates of
the politics of his districts:
The First district, which elected De
Haven by plurality OF 1926 in 1888, is
apparently Democratic by the new ap-
portionment by 746.
The Second district, which went Dem
ocratic by 1923, is given Republican
majority of 985.
In the Third district McKenna won by
5z79. The Republican majority on the
new lines would be 1867.
The new Fourth district figures up
Democratic majority.
The Fifth has been carefully computed
by Judge Dibble into the party he repre-
sents.
The Sixth district has been given a
Democratic majority Of 469.
In the Seventh district Republican
majority of 6276 has been arranged.
