WASHINGTON IN THIRD.

The committee on apportionment.
after a tWo-hours session. Thursday
Afternoon. decided upon an apportion-
ment bill. which they will report to
the Legislature, Friday morning. The
only change made in the present dis
tricts is the placing of Washington
county. which is now a part of the
4th district, in the Sd district. This
does not overcome the inequality in
the two Eastern districts but simply
reverses the situation. making the 3rd
the largest instead of the 4th.
The protests of Congressman Gould
in the Democratic State convention,
Tuesday, and at the Democratic eau
Gus, Wednesday night, caused the
committee to drop like a hot potato
the State committee proposition of a
3rd district comprising Somerset, Ok
ford. Franklin, Piscataquis and Aroos-
took and look about for some plan to
satisfy the Somerset insurgents,
The committee then fell back upon
the simple proposition of taking Pts
cataauis county from the 4th district
and placing it in the 3rd district. The
matter was discussed in executive ses-
sion but messengers were sent out to
interview Senator Donigan and other
Somerset county leaders. asking them
if that proposition would not be sat
isfactory to them.
The committee was informed that it
was the wish of the Democrats Of
Somerset county thai the district
should remain as ii was but If they
had to take on another county Wash
ington would be much more satisfac-
tory to them then any other county
washington usually splits about
even On the county ticket, while Pts
cataquis, although now Democratic.
has normal Republican majority of
about 1000," is the way one of the
Somerset representatives put up the
situation.
The Washington county proposition
was put before the committee and af-
ter about an hour of discussion the
committee voted. 10 to 3, to place
Washington county in the 3rd district
and leave Penobscot. Piscataquis and
Aroostook in the 4th district Previous
to this the committee had decided,
with but very little discussion, to
leave the 1st and I'd districts as they
were.
The bill, which will be presented to
the Legislature. Friday, will provide
that the new apporttonment become
effective, in January, 1918, so that it
will in no way affect the election to
be held in september, 1912.
According TO the new superintendent.
the Sd district. now the smallest, will
be the largest. having population OF
2ol OPT, while the 4th district, hitherto
the largest, will be the smallest with
a population of 1885. The popula-
ton of the districts, according to the
new apportionment bill. by counties,
