The house of Representatives
in congress has 135 members,
based on apportionment of one
to each 1887 people on the
average. The 1920 census will
show n considerable increase N
population over 1910. Unles,
the basis Of apportionment is
much increased, the size of the
house will increase by about for
ty members, making n total Of
Ats.
As result Of the 1910 census
forty-four members were added
to the house. Each reapportion-
ment SO far has made the house
bigger The first house had Sly
ty-hve members.
OF course the house already
is far too big and unwieldy. II
ought to be sharply decreased
in size instead Of being increas-
ed; yet as reapportionment
would legislate somebody out of
office unless the membership is
increased. if the house follows
precedent it will further in
crease the size of body now
prepos,erously large. Not only
does il tax the capacity of the
house chamber. but a body so
large cannot transact business
in business-like way. The
house should be reduced by half;
but as to do that the house
members would have to vote
half of themselves out of their
ichs, it is not likely to happen,
Sclfshness again stands in the
way Of national welfare.
But there ought to be the
strongest possible protest
against increasing the size of
the house when it is manifestly
too large already. Representa-
ton in states that have not in
creased their population i'm pro
portion to the rest should be re.
duced. 1t is absurd to ask the
country to pay salaries to a
large nuNaber Of worse than un-
necessary members: though this
waste Of public money is the
smallest part of the damage
when it is so manifest that to
increase the size Of a body al

ously hamper the transaction of

POLITICAL COLUMN
by Vance Chapman.)

That Gen. Wood will have the
solid support of the Minnesota
Republicans in his presidential
aspirations is generally agreed.
Hoover seems to have the call on
the Democratic side Of the house,
though the Lynch machine is for
Attorney General Palmer. What
is considered authoritative in the
case Of both is a straw vote taken
by the st. Paul Pioneer Press
this week. in which the presiden-
tial choice of many prominent in
political and newspaper circles in
the state is given. OF 800 re-
plies received from as many Re
cublicans. POI name Gen. Wood
ms their choice. 50 Lowden. As
Johnson. ~ Hoover. Is Taft and
20 Hughes. Other talked of can
didates, among them Senator
Kellogg. received one vote each.
OF 1873 replies received from
Democrats, IS were for Hoover,
81 for Wilson. 10 for Bryan. 20
for Palmer and 10 for McAdoo.
The Wood sentiment is so over
whelming that there is no ques-
ton about what the state con
vention will do. All that both
ars those who have taken over
the Wood campaign is control
and it represents their principal
task at the present time. There
is only one fight on and it is in
Minneapolis where faction
headed by F.. f. Smith and Fred
Carpenter. are scraping for the
mastery. Their chances of sue
cess are not bright. State Audi
tor Preus. who has a large fol
lowing in the state. has come out
cold for Gen, Wood. Addressing
a gathering of Minnesota mayors
last week ut which the General
was present, Mr.. Preus said: "On
March 18th when the presiden-
.ial preference primaries will he
held in this state. it will be my
privilege to cast my vote for
Gen. Wood and when the votes
are counted at the end of that
day. confidently expect that
Minnesota will overwhelmingly
favor his candidacy and elect
twenty-four delegates instructed
for Gen. Wood for president and
thus be the first state in the
Union to indicate its wish that
Gen. Wood shall he the man we
will meet in the White House in

DR.. Will Mayo Of Rochester, is
the latest to be mentioned for
gubernatorial honors. He is a
Democrat and Frank A. Day, a
we'll known Democratic King
Maker, has the honor of being
his sponsor. DIR. Mayo is now in
South America on a trip of
scientific research and the use of
his name as gubernatorial ma
terial is supposed to be without
his knowledge. but Mr.. Day is
positive that the noted physi-
clan. will make the sacrifice.
Strange to say, number Of Re-
publicans think likewise. If
stories in circulation are correct,
the move for DIR. Mayo was the
result of we'll guarded meeting
held in Minneapolis last week in
which a number of men high up
in political and business circles
sat in. DR.. Mayo is in no sense
a politician. in fact he abhors
the tribe, but he is a citizen of
worth and standing and those
behind his candidacy believe in
him. 1t is said that the Mime
sofa Sound Government Associa-
ton. recently organized. would
welcome the Mayo candidacy.

effect that A. f. Bowen of De-
