tricts, and each district is entitled to
one representative.
Mr.. Bekmeyer, the democratic MEM
ber, in his minority report recommend
ed substantially that the apportionment
be made strictly along county lines
and gave for his reason for so doing.
That the apportionment proposed by
him was strictly non-partisan. That
there was substantial equality of
population in each of the proposed dis
tricts, and that such division would
do away with county seat fights.
