MAINE LIKELY TO LOSE
A SEAT IN CONGRESS
Believed Under New Apportion-
ment Only Three Representatives
Can Be Chosen in State.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
AUGUSTA, Me-, July 1.-THE next
legislature will have the work of redis-
tricting the state. and it seems to be the
general impression that under the new
apportionment Maine will lose a member
of Congress-in other words, the state
will have but three representatives in
the lower branch at Washington instead
Of four. because of the fact that the
population of the state has not in
creased in sufficient amount to retain
. the four representatives. Ten years ago
Milne came very near losing a repre-
sentative, and it was not until after a
long, bitter fight that the representation
, at that time was not changed.
There can be nothing certain in the
redistricting proposition until after the
report Of the census of this year has
been made and Congress has determined
the basis Of representation. Even then
the whole proposition will rest with the
legislature of 1921 to decide what shat.
be done:
The present four districts are made
I'D as follows First district, York and
Cumberland counties; second district,
Androscoggin, Franklin, Knox. Lincoln,
OX1OFQ anu odSdudHoS Countless tiAh VI
district, Hancock. Kennebec. Somerset.
Waldo and Washington counties; fourth
district Aroostook, Penobscot and Pts
cataquis counties.
That the total population of Maine in
1920 will exceed the $50. 900 mark of 1910,
the last census, is assured. This in
crease, there is every reason to feel.
will. with = few exceptions be about the
same all over the state. This being SO,
il is felt that the revision of the state
for congressional districts can be SO ar
ranged that a complete community OF
interests can be secured.
This suggested arrangement OF dis
tricts, with the population OF each dis
trict. would be as follows:
First district-Counties Of Cumber-
land, York. Knox. Lincoln and Sagada-
hoe: popula ton, 246,311.
Second district - Counties of An
droscoggin, Franklin, Kennebec, Ok
ford, Piscataquis and Somerset; popu-
lation. 234,24S.
Third district-Counties of Aroos-
took, Hancock. Penobscot. Waldo and
Washington; population. 251.812.
BY such arrangement, 1T Is sug-
gested all the coast counties would be
grouped in the first and third districts.
But two of the ten counties consti-
tuting these two districts would be in
terror counties. OF these two, Penob-
scot, through the port of Bangor. would
have a strong community interest with
the coast counties.
Such grouping. it is felt by a
great many who have given this matter
thought, would be a logical arrange

OREGON REGARDED
SURELY REPUBLICAN
Suggestion That Cox Is a Wet
Candidate Will Hurt His
Prospects, It Is Asserted.
Special Dispatcb to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
PORTLAND, Ore, July LIT is
fairly safe to say that. unless this
state strays outside the range of poll
teal probability. it will be in the
Harding column in November. The
registered republican majority. &C
cording to the totals shown by the
books when closed just prior to the
May primary election. is 1876.
Republican Success Predicted.
But it is not to be supposed that
Senator Hardings electoral ticket
will come out of the November cleo
ton with anything like that margin
guess to say that the republican
presidential ticket will win. but not
so safe to predict the figures
Oregon is progressive state and.
if given the opportunity. would vote
a progressive ticket. 1t went for
johnson in the primaries, largely be-
cause of his record as a progressive
in 1912, and in the face of his OPP
position TO the league of nations, to
which the great majority of the
voters is undoubtedly favorable
Harding is not the most popular
candidate that the republicans could
have nominated, so far as the Oregon
voters are concerned They think
he is one of the old guard and they
do not like the old guard.
Cox and Prohibition.
Oregon has been bone dry for so
long that the habit has grown upon
il until a hint of moisture makes it
dizzy. Particularly is it true that the
woman voters of the state are trying
for keeping John Barleycorn buried
Since the democratic convention re-
publican papers here have been busy
wet" candidate and that propaganda,
whether true or false, will have it's
effect in the ballot totals More than
that, the Oregon democrats are rabid
supporters of Wilson, at least have
been during the past eight years, and
a lot of them are not entirely pleased
with what they consider was a Will
son defeat in the nomination of Cox.
All in all. then. it is strongly proba-
. BILE that Oregon will be republican
this year. presidentially. as it was
four years ago.

nomination for senator in the state
primary election TO he held August
10 is w. A Julian. a wealthy shoe
manufacturer Of CINCINNATI. He has
lad from the first the support of the
state democratic organization and IL
was understood that he would have
no opposition, but Judge ONeil came
out as an independent Gov Cox
was evidently favorable to Julian.
Judge O'Neil declares that there was
an agreement between Gov. Cox
and Mr.. Julian that in case the latter
should contest with ONeil for the
nomination and whit being their
idea that with the state organizations
help he could win: and in case the
national nomination went to a man
outside of the state. Julian. in con-
sideration of the help OF the stale
administration and the democratic
state organization in getting the
nomination. should withdraw from
the ticket and the vacancy thus made
should be filled with the name OF
Gov Cox by the state central COM
mittee. Judge O'Neil is making a
hard fight for the senatorial nominal
ton and using this deal story as can-
paign material Incidentally. ii is
likely to create some feeling against
Gov. Cox.
Counting on Aggressiveness.
Ohio democrats are counting much
on lne aSgreSSlVeneSS OF Gov. Cox
and the alleged comparative lack of
scrapplness on the part OF Senator
Harding to determine the result in
this state. Undoubtedly the governor
is by nature stormy petrol and the
senator is naturally anna BILE Still
when the latter was attacked in his
campaign for the support of the state
In the presidential primaries he came
on from Washington. and in a speech
In Memorial Hall here opening his
campaign. put all his opponents to
flight. The senator displayed more
nghtinS spirit in that speech than
MS TRENDS were wont to expect to
see in him.
That Gov. Cox will cover the coun-
try in series Of swings around the
circle. making speeches in every state
may be taken for a certainty. He is
five years younger than his opponent
and, naturally strong and vigorous
has always kept himself in prime
condition physically. He can stand
an indefinite amount of campalsni
work.
OF course. he will not resign the
office of governor. 1t will not be nec-l
essary- The concerted announcement

VIRGINIA DELEGATES
D|SPLEASED WITH BRYAN
Did Not Approve Effort to Force a
Declaration on Liquor Issue
at San Francisco.

RICHMOND, Va, July 17-"Virginia
delegates to the national convention
at San Francisco did not take at all
kindly to the persistence of William
Jennings Bryan in his effort to force
the convention to make a declaration
on the liquor ISSUE" declared one of
the best known dry men in the state,
as he began to discuss the campaign.
I'VE felt before we went there that
the thing had been settled. that the
Constitution had been amended, that
the Supreme Court of the United
States has passed on the subject and
that there is nothing for the people
to do until there shall be a campaign
and nominations made with a view to
repeating the federal amendment.
Bishop Cannon's Attitude.
THAT is not all. Take the Rev.
DR.. Cannon (Bishop Cannon) and you
will find that he accepted the action
of the committee on resolutions in
good faith. He was chairman of the
Legislative committee for the Anti
Saloon League of America, and he is
about as sound in his judgment on
things of that sort as any one else
He opposed the position of Col.
Bryan, fought him on the floor of the
committee on resolutions. There is no
lack of admiration for Col Bryan
on the part of the Virginians. but the
people voted their ideas on the cues
ton and they upheld the views of
Senator Glass.
My own belief is that the democra is
have nominated a, strong ticket, and it
is quite plain already that Gov. Cox will
inject considerable life into the cam
paign. There will be no trouble in Vir-
GINA, for the drys will stick to him-I
mean. of course. the drys who are demo-
Gratis. The liquor question is not politi-
cal. It should not be made political"

For this reason. state leaders are look
