SENATORIAL DISTRICTS.
The Governor, Secretary of state and Ala
torney General Perform What b
Legislature Failed to Do.

Legislature Failed to Do.
Under section 7, article 4, of the
state constitution, it is the duty of
the governor, secretary of state and
attorney general to reapportion the
state into senatorial districts every
tenth year, whenever the legislature
fails or refuses to perform that duty.
This commission, under the law,
must act within 80 days after adj
~journment of the legislature. The re-
cent general assembly failed to re-
district, and the commission of state
officers met and performed hat duty.
The commission is not authorized
to divide into districts where one
county comprises more than one dis
trict. Consequently, st. Louis city and
Jackson county I exempt from
districts by state officials only. That
duty will be performed by the circuit
court judges.
Outside of ST. Louis city and Jack
o county there are 90 senatorial
districts. Of the number % are ar
ranged so as to have a democratic ma
jority, according to the vote for gov
ernor in 1900. Several are rather
close.
The following shows the new dis
tricts, and the vote they cast for gov
in 1900:
