1t will be observed. by references
to a map of the state, that the dis
tricts are made up Of contiguoui
counties, and, for the most part, o
counties with similar conditions. TIL,
grouping was influenced also by
purpose to make an equitable politi
cal division, the committee refusing
to take into any group a contiguou
county that might give that distric
to the Republicans whereas it natuI
ally belongs in another group.
Twelve of the proposed district
will be Republican by safe majoritie
while twelve will be Democratic
some of them by large majoritie.
c The complexion Of the seven district
in st. Louis and the three in Jackso
county, including Kansas City, wi
depend upon the way the circui
judges threein may outline the di'

tricts. Several of these ten district
must necessarily be Democratic, a
they must be created on the sam
basis as the country districts. TIL
arrangement, II approved by the pei
pie. will give the two big politics
parties almost equal representatio
in the Senate IS they are now a
most equally divided in the state.
