AppOR1IONMENT LAW
HASKELL SAYS REPUBLICANS
WERE FAVORED BY NEW
STATES DIVISION.

Muskogee, l. r.. Sept. 23.-Charles
y Haskell recently elected BY the
democrats as the first governor of
the new state of Oklahoma. has is.
sued the following statement in re.
gard to the appointment of state rep.
resentatiyes and senators by the con.
siitutional convention:
There are no combinations of
counties for the election of represen.
tatives except to give county credit
for its excess population above one
or more full ratios.
For example Lincoln county has
two representatives of its own and
Pottawatomie county has three rep.
resentatlves of its own, and both
counties having excess population
above the membership so provided
! for. are allowed one floater, TO be
jointly elected. and in making sena.
torlal districts, counties were only
combined when they were too small
to constitute district alone. or had
a sufficient excess above one ratio
to cntjue them to more representa-
tion In the state senate In either
vent the combining Of counties was
necessary. and it Is the practice Of
nearly every stat. in the Union.
40 county was districtcd into re-
rcscntativc districts except upon re.
quest Of its repra scutatlyes. For
example. in the case of Logan county
which was given three members Of
the house, and the county subdl.
vided into dic'rcts This was done
on written request OF the constitu.
tional delegates of that county. of
which Henry Asp, one of th' leading
REPUBLICAN members Of the conven.
/ tion. was Logan county delegate,
and signed the written request TO
have the subdivision of his county
| into three representative districts
made.
There Is no partlsanship in this
apportionment and the doubt was In
| every instance resolved In favor Of
the republican party so as to deprive
them of any reason for protest. Their
clamor all summer has been a crit,
icism originally started by certain re-
publicans who exploited what some
people supposed was just founda-
ton for protest, although its authors
knew that they had not selected an
honest basis-their basis being the
vote cast for delegates to the consti.
tutional convention. when they knew
very well that the vote was heavy
In the republican part of the state
because of the sharp contest In every
district which brought out the full
vote. whereas the democratic part of
the STATE. there being little or no con
test. the vote was very light.
but they fooled the people until
the new census op, ned their eyes.
| OF course. there would be no justice
IN binding us by the new census;
we could only be bound by the best
possible information at hand at the
| time we made the apportionment, but
corroborated as 1t is now by the
census simply shows the great care
our convention committee exercised
