CALL FOR LITTLE COMMENT
Recent Speeches Of Republican Lead

Thespeeches OF Vice President Sher.

at Milwaukee call for little comment.
Their idea is that no man can be

the party ticket at every election.
and supports any policy that the sell
fish and corrupt interests may force
on the party. On this theory there
would never have been, as far as any
one can see, a triumphant Republican
party. For IL the Democrats OF a half
century ago had followed this advice
they would have stuck to their party.
II they had done that the party would
have continued to win victories II all
amounts TO saying that q political par
" is not n living organism but
hardened faction that can never re
spond to public sentiment. never meet
changed conditions. OF course, both
the orators attributed everything we
enjoy. even our civilization" TO the
Republican party. The day for that
sort OF twaddle has passed AS for
prosperity. we would remind the dis
tinguished standpatters that we had
a very lively panic less than three
years ago, and that at the present
time. what with high taxes. high
prices and soaring freight rates, there
are millions of people in this country
who feel very sorely the burden OF
the present Republican prosperity. OF
course. the speakers are out after the
scalp OF Senator La Toilette Perhaps
they will get it-though we hope not.
But they will not be able to turn back
the tide which is sweeping the people
away from their out-of-date notions OF
party government, and on to cor
recter view of politics. There was
nothing In either speech worthy of

Just the difference between a

The choice is far more often
between convention and pleasure,
between doing what is morally
right but conventionally wrong
and what is both morally right

why not win for yourself at the

temporary inclination, the clean,
good road and the fair wind that
comes from standing we'll in the

REINFORCEMENT DILEMMA.

Republicans have something
new to worry about now. The
constitution provides that there
shall be a reapportionment OF
representation in congress imme-
niately following each decenniaI
census. What bothers the Re-
publicans is how to make reap
portionment without increasing
Democratic strength in the
house. The Republicans have
figured out that it will be to
their best partisan advantage to
increase the basis Of representa-
ton from the present figure of
about 200, 900 to 225, 900, which
would increase the number of
representatives from 391 to 400,
providing the census shows up
the SO, 900, 600 population the eX-
perts estimate. On the old ba-
sis of approximately 10000 pop
ulation to one congressman, the
house membership would be in
creased to $50. The Republican
leaders fear this would be disas-
trous to their party's member
ship for the reason that some of
the heaviest gains in population
are expected in the Democratic
states of the south and south
west. Texas, for instance,
is expected to gain so much in
population that she would be en-
titled to four addition members
of the house, and perhaps five if
the old ratio of representation
were retained. Oklahoma also
is certain to make phenomenal
gains in population, while Ala
bama and Georgia will also gain
in representation if the ratio is
unchanged.
But even an increase in the
basis of representation will leave
the Republicans in bad shape.
The Republican New England
states, whose gain in population
has been comparatively slight in
the past decade, will lose some
seats if the ratio is raised, nor
will the Republican states of the
central west show an increase in
representation. The only hope
for Republican advantage in
raising the basis of representa-
ton is in the Rocky Mountain
states, the Pacific coast and the
Northwest. In those states they
hope-but half heartedly-t to
make up for almost certain dem
ocratic gains in the South and
Republican losses in New Eng
land.
Should the ratio of representa-
ton be allowed to remain un-
changed, it is estimated that the
South would gain % representa-
tives while the North would
gain about 80. But while all the
% new seats from the South
could be counted safely Demo
cratic the Republicans would not
be reasonably certain of more
than half of the 80 new seats
from the North. New York city
would gain four or five new con.
| gressmen, with almost practica
certainty of there all being Dem.
ocrats, and the Democrats woulC
have good fighting chances in the
new districts in several Northern
states.
1t is not to be wondered at
therefore, the Republican leader.
