Will Be a Mighty Close Shave


The Tampa Tribune SCOTS at the suggestion con-
tanned in the News that there is danger that
Florida will not be represented at the democratic
national convention because such short space of
time elapses between the Florida primaries and the

fers similar condition 1916.
But is the condition similar? 1916 it was a

ANOTHER REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS.

1t seems certain that the 1920 census being
tasen viii show Florida entitled to a fifth repre-
sentative in congress.
The Tines Union. observing the short time that
wiz eLapse between official report the result and
the election says that Floridas representative
viii be a congressman This is probably
true sim l. need not be delayed until know
the figures before we start the machinery neces-
zarY for rsdtstrictIng the state.
Commenting on this, the Tampa Tribune says:
-How S the time to begin considering the
most advantageous and fair way the
state 80 az to give us the Fifth Congressional
district And we know of no better time
IL and no better place in which to work out the
problems redistricting than in a democratic
state convention to be held early in the year.
a gathering of the representative men Of the
party az some central place, for period Of sew
eraI d. - would be able to work out the lines
on which the district would be formed hav-
ing due regard to the trend of population in
crease which the last few years has indicated.
ut would not only be possible but entirely feas-
ibIe to have the Fifth Florida district outlined,
and all but the legal congressional requirements
met and the state ready present the repre-
sentative from the Fifth Florida district ready
to go to work for his district, instead of having
to cut corners and scheme how he might posi-
the observation-disclosures would be abolished
before the next election"
The Times Union has the following to say the
matter of another representative for Florida:
I'VE are confident that the state has been
growing more rapidly during the last five years
than during the five preceding The factors
that now are leading the development Of the
state have become operative since the state
census was taken and that census was taken
when the state was suffering from a period of
great depression Nearly every industry of the
state was crippled in 1915 and of them
had been almost oblterated 1t is safe to say
that many Floridians had gone elsewhere who
have now returned TO the state with the return
of its prosperity.
$50 we consider the figures we stated at the
beginning as minimum and would not be
at all surprised if the census showed the state
to have 100000 people.
THE number Of members of the house of rep
resentatives should not be increased but it will
certainly not be diminished. If the same num-
Der is retained the basis of representation viii
be about 2ss,ooo and this would certainly give
the state an additional representative. The
census that is being taken so early this year
that it may be possible for congress to pass a
new apportionment bill in time have the extra
representative elected next fall though the in
two years after the taking OF the census II
Florida should have another representative in
the next congress he would have to represent
the state-at-la large for The state could not be
redistricted until 1921"
