others as agree with the principle
OF limiting Chicago and form a
plan for substantial limitation OF

Whereas rs states including
New York, Pennsylvania, Massa-

leading states have adopted county
representation, and many substan-

county as the most satisfactory unit
for legislative apportionment,
Therefore be it resolved that we
favor the apportionment article

apporrioning one-third of the SEN

to downstate and apportioning the
house of representatives on the
basis of population but providing
that each county should have at
least one representative with an
additional representative for every
so, 1000 or major fraction thereof
after the first 1000 population.
we believe that such basis of

this program the executive commit

While anti Bolshevik leaders were
called to meet in Paris at the call

tion OF forces to oppose the expected
spring drive of the Russian army,
French and other statesmen talked
of recognizing the Baltic states as
a means OF cementing them to the
anti-BolshcYik cause.
1t was apparent today that only
$4,000 men, remnants Of wrangel's
shattered army and minor forces are
available now to meet the Bolshevik
drive. However, the leaders pointed
out, the Soviets would meet instan-
taneous opposition If they attempted
to drive through neighboring states
Rumania alone has 400. 900 men
ready for quick mobilization. The
other states are supplied with men
who would be thrown into the
