frisEs suREAu AT STATE cApIrA.1 i


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. S.-There
Will be very little change in repre-
sentation in the Indiana General As
senbly a result Of the 1920 sexennial
enumeration OF male voters. Although
the actual work OF computing the
changes to be made is not completed
tha tentative figures show that only
six counties viii lose a representative
These counties are Clinton Grant,
Kosciusko, Lawrence. Randolph ana
Shelby. Each OF these counties now
have one full representative and a
Joint representative. They Will, for
the next six years, have one or two
joint Representatives. Il the present
figures are correct.
J.. WHAT WE HAVE NOW.
Lake county now has four repre-
sentatives. one joint representative.
two senators and one Joint senator.
On the basis or the new enumeration
Lake county will have one additional
representative and il is believed
enough voters TO entitle it to three
senators. Marion county will have its
number Of representatives increased
from ten TO eleven and ST. Joseph coun-
~ Will claim one more representative.
On the basis Of the 1914 enumeration
one rep-esent ntative was given for each
1925 male voters and one senator roE
each 15.S $50 voters. The new appo--
ttonment viii be on the basis Of one
representative for each s.097 male vot-
ers and one senator for each 16.1s4
voters. The women voters are not
considered in the count as the consti-
tuition provides that representation
shall be based on the number Of male
voters.
