MAY CHANGE NAME Of
THE PROHIBITION PARTY

Indianapolis. Ind, Jan. "A pro-
posal To change the name of the Pro-
hIbiton party is one of the important
matters that will be considered and
acted upon at the big national con-
ference of the party leaders to be held
in this city early next week. Many
Of the leaders have expressed them
selves i'm favor of "a change in the
party designation. The advocates of
the proposal argue that the word pro-
hibition does not convey the full mean
ing of the partys purpose. II is
pointed out that the present name
conveys to the average mind one idea,
the prohibition of the liquor traffic,
whereas the party has for years been
tsanding for many of the most i'm
portant progressive principles which
only recently have been taken UP by
the other political parties. Virgil G..
Hinshaw of Chicago, the national
chairman, is among those Of the
opinion that a change in name would
result in increasing the numerical
strength of the party.
The conference here next week will
be attended by the members of the
national committee, the state chairman
and many other prominent leaders.

REDlSTRICTING FOR
13 CONGRESSMEN
CARVING OUT A NEW TWELFTH
TO BE GREATEST BONE OF
CONTE TON.

Lansing, Mich, Jan. 9-Already
about every member of the legislature
regardless of party and regardless OF
where he lives. is loading up for a
fight on the redstricting of the state
for cdngiess. The biggest fight. how
ever is among those who will without
doubt finally land in the new Twelfth
district. which will comprise the agri-
cultural counties of the upper penin-
sula with considerable number of
the northern counties of the lower
peninsula.
AS the matter has been tentatively
suggested, the upper peninsula coun-
ties in this district would have a total
of lO9, S37 population while the low
er peninsula counties woU!d have but
97.111 population. To this arrange
ment the members from the lower
peninsula counties enter violent OBJ
lection and declare they will never
stand for the upper peninsula having
n larger population than they have
in the district and thus being able to
out-vote them.
They suggest that in order TO give
them the larger population they should
have Antrim county. with a population
OF 1862. added to their section, giving
the lower peninsula total popula-
tion of 112,S03, and that Menominee
in the upper peninsula should be
shunted over into the new Thirteenth
district which would give the upper
peninsula portion of the new Twelfth
but S4,1S9.
This would make the total Twelfth
district only about 10000 population
and the new Thirteenth would be
brought up to more than 241.0 200. Here
is where the big fight is bound to
come. Few others are objecting to
the plans as previously outlined.
