Constitutional Convention May Alter
Legislative Districts--Craig and
Rogers Counties Together.

Guthrie, O. T., July l0.-The cons
titutional convention will reassemble
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock in the
auditorium Of the city hall, where its
former sessions were held. The cen
sus clerks who have been occupying
that room have been temporarily
transferred TO the council chamber
The present programme is for the
adoption Of motion to reconsider the
action by which the constitution was
adopted, and then 60 over it section
by section to consider any changes
which may be considered desirable.
Considerable anxiety is felt in re-
gard to the question Of securing a
quorum The delegates now in town
fall far short of the required number
and there will have to be heavy in-
iux in the morning in order to make
a meeting possible.
The convention leaders are proceed
ing with great caution in regard to
the changes which are to be made in
the legislative apportionment, so as
not to stir up opposition in the local
ities affected, but it is known that a
number Of changes have already been
decided upon.
One of these results in giving an ad-
ditional representative to the group
of counties from Craig west to Usage.
The fiotorial district now composed OF
Craig, Rogers and Tulsa, is to be r.
stricted TO Craig and Rogers only.
Tulsa is put in a new flotorial dis
trict with Usage, while Kay, former
ly coupled with Usage in a Pictorial
district, gets two representatives. A
fiotorial district is one where two or
more counties are given one represen-
tatiye in common, in addition to the
separate representatives for each
county.
o. A. Brewer, Of Helena, is here to
petition for an additional fiotorial
representative for Woods and Alfalfa
counties, and seems to have good prosI
poets for success.
