STORY
IS FASCINATING ONE

The present session of Congress
will be the last long session of that
body to be held under the apportion-
ment Of the census of 1900. The next
long session will be that of a House
made up under the 1910 apportion-
ment. The Census Bureau takes the
census and finds out how many peo-
pie there are in the United States.
Then Congress determines how many
representatives there shall be during
the ensuing ten years. These repre-
sentatives are apportioned among
the states in proportion to popula-
ton. Then each state legislature
divides up the state into a correspond
ing number of congressional dis
tricts. 1t Is here that one of the
greatest factors in American politics
comes in-the gerrymander. One
hears much In these days of baseball
battles of one side having "the edge"
on its opponents. The gerrymander
gives one side "the edge" in politics
in the state using it. A state Is SO
laid out into congressional districts
by the party in power that IN many
cases the party polling three-fifth of
the votes In a congressional election
may get only two-fifths of the states
representation in Congress. This, of
course. gives the party in power in a
state legislature "the edge" on its OPP
%ponents, and it Is an ledge" that only
a landslide will overcome. 1t is a
game played by both sides in the va
rious states, and constitutes one OF
the ~stragetic points on the elective
battlefield. The story of the gerry
mander is a fascinating one, and is
