I Todd County Objects.

We recently mentioned the pro-
cee1ings Of the Legislative ct'mm'ttee
0f the senatorial district composed
of Todd, Wadena and Hubbard
counties, by which two small
counties obtained greater strength
than one large one, through the APP
.portionment OF five delegates At
large to each Of three counties. Con-
corning the move the Long Prairie
Argus says: Z e.''ti - - 1..' &
ut ia little wonder that the move
ia looked upon rs favorable to Sena-
tor Whitnev by local Republicans.
We do not desire to register kick
by any means, but we do say that
the superintendent IS unfair to thts'
county. n At the last election Todd
county cast 2('43 votes for Mckinley,
Wadena cast 874 and Hubbard
$3.50. The combined vote OF Wadena
and Hubbard counties is 1928, against
2O43, in Todd. Yet under this APP
portiOnment these 1928 Republican
vores In the two counties have l6
votes Ii the convention while 2O43
votes In Todd county have but ID
votes In the convention. In other
words this superintendent gives the
Republicans If Hubbard and Wa
dena counties one vote In the con-
,,r,. 49, er,r sorrh ~ vOfea cast ut the
last election while 1t gives Todd
county Republicans but one vote IN
the convention for each 1SS votes
cast at the same election. No one
should be at all surprised that Mr..
Welt opposed this Kind OF appor-
tionment Of delegates which de-
fra nchises. SO far AZ voice In the
nominating convention is concerned,

The Pike Question,

The committee sent to Frankfort
appeared before the Sinking Fund
Commissioners on last Friday and o.
fered them $4,000 for their interest in
the Lexington road lying in Garrard
county, which was refused The fol-
lowing roads have been bought at the
committees estimate : Hiattsville and
kirksville, $500; Buckeye, Sa,397; Spill
man road, $3.50; Poor Ridge, $500; Mt.
Hebron. Tree; Buena Vista, $500. The
other companies in the county refused
the offers made, as estimated by the
committee, and have replaced their
gates. Only one road, so far, the
Richmond, has applied for guards. and
the County Judge furnished two for
each gate. 1t is hard to tell now, just
what will be done. The court relies
upon its committees estimate as being
perfectly reasonable as to prices for
the roads, and the stockholders say
nay. So there's the situation in a nut
she'll THE RECORD hopes that every
thing will be amicably settled, and
that, too, soon.
LATER the above was put in

road came in this Thursday afternoon
and told the court that they were per-
fectly willing to meet the county half

thing by all concerned. We are in
