SqueIched by Laurier

busiest days of the session the House
adjourned shortly after midnight,

Pittsburg, Jan. l9.-There . is a
little congressional "insurgent" up
rising on Neville island in the Ohio
river, for the lOl men of voting age

they have no say in the government

They have found that the last Leg

districts forgot the islanders. and
they are included neither in the 18TH
senatorial nor the 22d congressional
districts of which they were former

change the apportionment more than
once in 10 years, the islanders are
wondering by what procedure they
may win a legal suffrage.
