THE REDIsTRTCTHG R4I1.

,,.. Stanton, Tex. March 5.
Editor FL Paso Herald:
In your paper Of recent date an
peared an expression from representl-
llye Eugene Harris of the Texas leg
lsIatures in which he said that il
would be impossible TO pass the latest
congressional redistricting bill agreed
To by several of the state senator's.
ana InaL probably majority OF those
VINO al 1lrst favored the bill. are after
due elaboration strictly opposed 10
IL now.
This portion Of the state and esDe-
claIly the new 18th district as framed
IN TINS DILL was highly elared over
TINS expression from Mr.. Harris. as
the people are very much opposed to
saId bill think that il IS time that
the Texas legislators are waking up
TO the Iacr that they. are there to pro
mote the interests OF the people of
Texas, and not for the purpose of
advancing their own political ambi-
ions. as this latest congressional re-
dlStrlct1ng bill plainly shows in re-
gard to the way our new 18th dis
trict was formed. This district as
formed by the WOuIdbe congressmen
now IN the state legislature comprises
more counties, I think than any other
district in the state of less popUI7-
ton, by several thousand, than is the
present basis for congressional dis
tricts.
At a glance any political student can
see that this bill was a blow aimed
at our present congressman Hon ". r
Smith, one Of the abIest men in our
national house Of representative to-
DAY To show the political intrigue
ana gerrymandering that was INDUCED
In by the legislators that framed this
notorious and outrageous redistricting
Dill. will state that it comprises
enough territory to comfortably house
the entire population Of Japan and
China, being approximately 700 miles
wide, by more than 400 miles deep
want to ask every citizen Of Texas
to get a map Of the state and a
schedule of this congressional redis-
trictlng BILL and go over this map by
the counties which comprise the new
18th congressional district and de-
termine for himself the accuracy OF
the foregoing statements, that is, that
this was the biggest piece Of gerry
Wandering and political scheming in
the dark that was ever attempted to be
perpetrated on the people of the Lone
Star state.
Now as regards our present congress
man Hon W r. Smith, I do not know
that he desires to remain in congress, /
but If such is his desire. I do know
that like any other honorable man
he would want il to be by the desire
that he continue in congress or not, |
and not of a few bowling office seek I
ing politicians. In other words Mr. I
Smith would in my opinion prefer go /
ing out by way of the ballot box, rather I
than being legislated out
Yours for clean politics.
