Der Of Delegates, before any approx
mately fair and equal apportionment Of
Delegates can be made, and | sugges
that the Constitution be amended tlSt) st
that the ratio Of representation shall
determine the number of Delegates, and
ed that the ratio be fixed at 10, 900, Ia
take effect after the next general cen.
Sus, and (3d) that the Delegates be APP,
portioned, until that time, on cOnyen'
tional arrangement, by such amend
ment, TO the following effect:
TO the counties OF Kanawha and Ohio
four delegates each; 10 the county OF
Wood three delegates: to the counties
OF Berkeley, Cabell, Fayette, Green.
! brier, Harrison, Jackson. jefferson
Lewis, Marion, Marshall. Mason, Mer
Ger, Monongalia, Preston, Richie
ROane, Wayne and WetZel, two dele,
gates each: (to which might be added
Putnam and BraIton, thus bringing The
two-delegate counties down to fourteen
thousand instead of fifteen thousand
pOpulation); and TO all the other coun
ties one delegate each.
This would be liberal TO the small
counties. They will nearly all FIJI NJ
well toward the 10000 ratio by the mex
general census. They will all certainly
be then above three-fifths of the 10000
ratio.
A fixed ratio will never decrease the
delegation from any county unless such
county should fail to increase in popu
latlOn. We havo no such counties now
In this State. This proposed conyen
tiOnal apportionment, it will be OBJ
served. restores all the delegates the
various counties have lost, and make.
the number OF delegates eighty, (oI
eighty-twO II the counties OF Putnam
and Braxton have two delegates EACH.
This proposed conventional appor.
tionment is upon basis approximat.
Ing the ratio OF ten years ago.
Everybody is in favor Of equality of
representation, and everybody is in
favor OF economy OF administration, and
IL happens in this case that equality and
economy are pulling in contrary direc.
tions. but | think the suggestions
have made strikes about the true
equipoise between them and leaves
every county TO itself for whatever
there is in it, numerically and polti-
cally.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1891-02-04

Ia formulating the foregoing plan OF
apportionment have kept three points
in view:
FirSt-The constitution requires that
each county containing less than three
iifthS OF the representative ratio shall
be formed into Il Delegate District with
some other county or counties contigu-
Gus To itself that is touching it and
bounded by al least one limo common 10
both-a Inc in cOntradistinction to a
point. But that instrument does not
seem 10 require that the other counties,
included in the district. should be con-
tiguOus TO each other. Yet | have 50
formulated the plan of the districts, eX-
cept the Second and the Seventh, 50
that there is entire contiguity between
all the counties in each district, (that
is with the exception OF Berkeley and
Hampshire in the Second District.
which are contiguous TO Morgan, but
not TO each other; and Roane and
BraXton in the Seventh District, which
are contiguous 10 Clay, but not TO each
other.
Second have endeavored TO make
gates 10 population as nearly as may be
10 the constitutional ratio of represen-
tation. and whilst FIVE OF the districts
are above such ratio and three Of the
districts are below il, yet the eight dis
tricts contain in the aggregate Oslo
population, and have apportioned to
them seventeen delegates, which makes
the ratio Tor population TO each dele
gate ll,794, being o. more than the
constitutional ratio, which gives the
outside counties a slight advantage over
the districts, the counties having an
average ratio OF about l95 less than the
districts.
The following facts and figures may
be useful for ready reference and COM
parsons.
Ii will be observed that 50 Delegates
were appOrtioned 10 the Districts and
counties by the representative ratio,
and constitutional right; and that
twelve Delegates were assigned to frac-
ffoua aS fal1nUe.

The present number. four Everyone
knows, who cares TO know, that the cen
Sus Of Ohio county for lsgO was not

souls within her limits The census
WAS taken az season when a large
number Of citizens were out OF town.
and while the REGISTER has no dispose
ton % reflect upon the l.. : enumera-
tors because they probably did their
best. YET 30 was generally admitted that
they did not have a complete count.
/ The reasons are obvious. Among them
may be- cited the chronic objection
many heads Of families have Of giving
the required Information, arising often
from fear ana a lack Of knowledge Of
/ the purpose OF the enumeratorS.
Aside from the fact that Wheeling,
population was underestimated in 1880,
I IL is patent that since her population
has 50 increased that. taking Mr.. MAN

ranging them so as to give another del
egate to the $500 fraction in Ohio coun-

the ratio Of Wetzel county, which now

BISMARCK WEEKLY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, MARCH 6 1891,

mont, met Wednesday afternoon. Colonel
Robinson, on motion of Mr.. Van Horn, was
selected president of the board and Charles
E. Showers auditing director. A secret in
formal ballot was taken for election of
warden, which resulted in four votes for
Clark Haggart and one for Dan Williams.
Director Showers moved that the election
of Haggart be made unanimous; seconded
by Van Horn, and the election was made
unanimous.
No action has as yet been taken as to the
deputy wardenship.
Dan Williams has been one of the best
OF WardenS in the history of northwestern
prison affairs, and his many friends will
regret to see him step down and out from
his official career.
MIR. Haggart is now at Fargo, having re-
turned from an extended tour Of the south
ern states, and is expected to arrive at Bis
marck and assume his new duties this
week. Dan Williams has been warden of
the penitentiary ever sincesthat institution
was founded, and the Institution under his
management has taken rank with the lead
ing reformatOry institutions OF the country.
He has exhibited wonderful tact in the
management of cOnvlcts and has taken
great interest in all matters connected with
the institution, which is a model of neat
ness and order. Mr.. Haggart is a brother
OF Senator Haggart, and has been acting
IN the capacity OF deputy for two years.
Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1891-03-06

The attempt to repeal the penalty
clauses in the prohibition law and t.
lieve the ukase of all its fangs has
failed, and the present iron-clad noun
tain -buttressed. copper-bottomed, hang
acknowledgements -lamp-post law will
stand, God and the weather permitting,
Scr two years at least. The TRIBUNE has
favored resubmission and high license,
and believes that the attempted enforce
ment of the present law will lead many
who now favor it to the other side of the
question. If, however, the law is en-
forced and absolute prohibition effected
then there will not be enough high
license men in the state two years from
now to make a kick. But the TRIBUNE
predicts a failure in it's enforcement, or
rather in convictions under it, in which
event the Judgment of those who now
honestly and earnestly favor high license
and strict regulation, will be applauded
rather than condemned. If, on the other
hand, the law effects all the good that
the champions of prohibition predict,
then the wisdom of the prohibitionists
will be as readily acknowledged by the
other side.
