Editorial Comment
Reapportionment.
portland Press)

A committee of the Maine Legisla-
ture to which scant public considera-
ton was given at the time of organi-
cation seems now likely to turn out
to be one of the most important in
that body. At least it is certain to be
one which will be more or less of a
storm center. This is the committee
on reapportionment.
Primarily of course will come the
question of reshaping the Maine
Congressional districts. The ire
mendous majority in the present
House in favor of keeping the mem
bership at the present figure was
surprise but it seems to make it GER
tain that it will be adopted. This
means of course that when the re-
districting of the State has been COM
pleted Maine will find herself with
three districts and four men in Con-
gress, one of whom cannot be re-
turned. AS all of these present
representatives are recognized by
everyone as being able men and well
qualified for the positions to which
they have been chosen, and as each
one of them has many friends who
will seek to have the new districts so
formed as to favor their particular
candidate, the problem which is be-
fore the Legislature to solve win be
most difficult one and one which is
quite likely to stir up considerable
feeling.
F Aside from trying to re-district the
State so as TO particularly favor some
one of the present congressman there
are two other questions which must
be given consideration. So far as pos
sible the three districts which are
formed must be of equal size SO far as
population is concerned Then there
is the matter of their political lean
ings. A. Republican Legislature will.
of course, seek to so form the dis
tricts as to make all three Of them
reasonably sure to elect Republicans
to Congress. 1t will be this latter
consideration which will probably
have the. most weight in settling the
question and it will probably over
shadow any question of a personal
character which may enter into II.
AS is natural under these condi-
tons there are a great many stories
In circulation as to what may be done
or what should be done. No man or
group of men know what the ultimate
solution of this question will be. SO all
that's being said or written upon the
subject may safely be regarded as
mere guess work and without any
foundation in fact. Quite naturally

ity while this discussion is going on
