INSISTS CHICAGO
IS DENIED RIGHTS
Citizen Fighting for Equal
Legislative Representation
With "DoWnState."
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 24-For IS year,
John B. Fergus and his plan to reap.
portion the State to give Chicago equal
representation with down State" have
been bad news" to the Illinois legis-
lators
Fergus, Sc, head of a printing estab.
lishment, through the years has tried
every legal method to obtain change
in the balance of political power. He
contends the legislators deliberately vio-
late the State constitution In neglecting
to redistrict the State, which last was
reapportioned in 1901.
His latest effort is a mandamus &C
ton in the United States Supreme
Court.
Once a Winner in Court
Only once has Fergus won a court
action. A quo warranto petition was
granted in the Cook County Circuit
Court, demanding that every member
of the Legislature show why he should
retain his seat.
That petition was granted after the
Supreme Court refused to consider
Fergus demand that the State treas
urer withhold legislators pay checks on
the grounds they were holding their
seats illegally. The Chicagoan claims
only one member of the Legislature is
emitted to his seat. Later higher court
reversed the quo warranto action.
The State constitution provides re-
districting after every Federal census.
Fergus contends Cook County should
have five additional Senators and fl
teen more Representatives.
Population Figures Compared.
Fergus cited to the Supreme Court
that Cook County had 3,755,630 of the
States 7,202,293 residents, while the
districts outside Cook County elected
six Supreme Court justices and Cook
County one.
The continued attacks of Fergus gave
being to the Constitutional Apportion-
ment League in 1925. So bitter became
the fight with the General Assembly
that there was animated talk of Cook
County seeding from Illinois and Gre
ating separate State.
The fight for reapportionment has
cost more than 100000, most of which
has been paid by Fergus His printing
firm Is one of the oldest in the city,
established by his father.
