CONGRESSIONAL OiSTRICTs
Congressman Martin Suggests Plan
For Redistricting

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS E. w. Mar
TN expressed his views concerning
The rea.ignmont of congressional dis
trlcts in South Dakota in a letter to a
,rlend in this city as follows:
i would suggest that the state di-
vide itself naturally into three dis
-rlcts by making all the territory west
II the Missouri river into one district;
all north of the north line of B fac
Jerauld. S%anborn, Minner. Lake and
Moody counties into another. and the
southeastern portion, including all
south OF the line referred to into q
third. Doubtless in numbering the
districts the order would naturally be
reversed in recognition of the oder
portions of the state.
This sort of division would meet
the requirements of the law, which
provides that each district shall on
tain as nearly as practicable an equal
number OF inhabitants. (See Act OF
January 16, 1901. Vol. 2, Supplement
# the Revised Statues OF the U. s.
Chapter SO, at Page 1859 Each OF
these districts east Of the river would
ontain a laroCr population now than
he western half Of the state, but The
western half Is growing much mr.
rapidly than either o. the other, and
t would be only a matter Of two or
three years until the western hal
would contain as much or larger popu-
atom than either of the other two
districts.
You will observe that the popnla-
ton Of the state at the present time
Is $50. 1888. The population in 1900
was 4O1 $40, an increase OF 1872 31S or

England's Election
Leaves the Parties
Where Were Before
Everyone Still in Dark as to Actual
Possibilities of Election Now
Nearly Concluded.

LONDON, Dec. 12-It is now seen that
the government will return with substan-
tally the same majority as Il had before
the dissolution of Parliament and the
future course OF the elections has less in
terest than the question of what will hap
pen when Parliament actually meets. This
forms the subject Of a determined dis
cussion in the party newspapers and in
the speeches OF the public men.
Lord Rosebery said at the beginning of
the elections that should the government
suffer a loss OF only five seats It could not
pass the veto bill This contention has
been taken up by the unionist press. which
argues that unless the government secures
an increased majority IL will have no man
date S. deal with the House of Lords
The liberals on the other hand, contend
that not only will the government have
majority larger than that OF former strong
unionist ministries, but that the nation has
now thrice in succession given the liberal
government vote Of confidence.
To this the unionists reply that the ques-
ton Of a change i'm the constitution Is on
quite different plane than ordinary legis-
lation and they point out that specific ma
jorities are required in the United States
and in other countries before the constitu-
ton can be changed. Everybody however,
appears to be in the dark as to the actual
possibilities Of the situation, and many
are Of the opinion that 1t may still be set
tied by negotiation and compromise.
Both sides appear equally confident Of
gaining few more seats the coming week.
Up to the present 5O4 seats out OF $40 have
been filled, the standing OF the parties
being as follows:
Government Coalltion-Iiberals,1 1885, labor
ties, 80; nationalists. Sc; Independent nation
alists, 7: total, 27s.
Observation-Disclosures 226.
The relative positions of the two parties
is exactly the same Ia the new Parliament
as in the old, each having gained twenty
one seats from the other.
