stitution provides that the apportion-
ment OF the senatorial districts in Mich

sections of the state of their just rep
resentation in the Senate and is there
fore unconstitutional The supreme
court will today be petitioned TO issue
a mandamus to compel the secretary
of state to issue notices of election un-
der the provisions of the statute OF
1855, which the gerrymander act oil the
last Legislature assumes to repeal. The
petition will be made by Theron Il.
