THEIR PLANS UPSET
Democrats Unable to Reds

CONGRESS FAILED TO ACT
Republicans Have Fighting Chance

CONGRESS FAILED TO ACT

The failure of Congress to act on the
bill to reapportion representation un-
der the new census interferes with
the plans of the democrats to gerry
mander' a number Of states so that
for the next ten years their party
would have a distinct advantage over
the republicans at the outset of each
congressional election.
The legislatures of several OF the
states have adjourned and others will
adjourn shortly, without having made
their reapportionment of representa-
lature adjourned last night at mid
night, and democratic "gerryman-
der" bill, which had been framed up
in the highest style of the art, went
into the waste basket.
Republicans Have Show.

session, and republicans will have
their fighting chance to change it's
complexion. OF course, If the repub-
licans get the next Legislature they
will out-Herod Herod in a gerryman-
dering bill. If they can
The most important feature of the sit
uation centers about New York. The
democratic legislature was ready to re-
district the state, and in such way that
according to senator Root the repub
licans would have been deprived OF the
remotest possibility of sending to the
national House majority of repub-
lican Representatives for the next ten
years.
1t was Senator Root who sounded the
death knell Of the, he;,Rpportionment bill
In the Senate at abofitz4a,alf past A in
the. morning of the last days session,
when he most amiably but emphatically
Indicated that 1t would be filibustered
to death.
Complexion May Change.
The New York legislature will be
elected again next fall. and the repub-
licans will make the effort of their
lives to carry it, SO that reapportion-
ment may be in their hands when it
comes along. and they will organize
some "shoestring" districts most won-
derfuny and fear1ully made If they are
in power.
The democrats still have one way out
Of the difficulty if they can make it a
go-they may try to get the reappor-
tionment through at the coming extra
session of Congress and then have the
democratic governors Of New York,
New Jersey. Ohio and Indiana call spe-
ciaI sessions of the legislature to pass
a gerrymander bill. This project. OF
course. will have to face the peril of a
filibuster at the extra session.
Quote the Constitution.
However, the democrats claim that
they have all the arguments of COM
mon sense and justice on their side in
their demands for speedy reapportion-
ment In the debate in the Senate in
the small hours of the morning the
claim was made that to fail to reap
portion now will be clear defiance Of
the Constitution of the United States,
which requires redistricting under
every new census.
