THE wisdom o. voting down the law
which was passed up TO the voters for
approval at the referendum last fall pro-
posing u redistricting the state into con-
gressioual districts, is now made very
clear by the published census returns.
If the ratio of representation remains
the same as now South Dakota will be
entitled to three instead of two Congress-
men. Had the voters voted in favor of
dividing the state into two districts
the work would now have to be done all
