as Numerous in Coming Session of
Legislature as They Have Been in
Past Years

1t has been figured out that fewer
experienced lawmakers will sit in the
next House of Representatives than at
any session in the last quarter of a
century. An analysis, worked out by
personal correspondence, brings this
out in detail. The date made public
shows that only rs out of the 207
members OF the House served in pre-.
vious sessions. and that only &c out OF
these served in the session of 1918,
There will be 129 members without
previous legislative experience, and
there will be III members, or 20 per
cent OF the whole, who were not mem
bers OF the session two wears ago. For
mer Representative George W. Allen, OF
Allegheny. who worked out the data
