Huge Population of Greater
New York

Greater New York, with its five boroughs. has 3
population nearing the 100000 mark. AS for the
rural population Of the state Of New York, including
the count Of upstate cities and towns, the population
is said to approximate 6,O00. 600. In other words, the
Empire state of the East has a total population OF
100000.
AL this Is a reminder that returns compiled re-
Gently by the Associated Press for Texas with a lin
tied number Of counties missing, placed the states
figure at about 5000, 600. If the figure is accurate,
then the per cent gained in the ten year period Is a
remarkable showing for the Lone Star State. There
are two congressional districts in what is known as
West Texas with a total voting population of more
than 100000.
In the not remote past these districts were given
over to the lordly COW kings and their cowboys and
their herds. Another section which has shown re-
markable gains is the Imperial Valley Of the Lower
Rio Grande. Thousands Of the newcomers came from
the northern and western states. and white republic
can voting population, according to the veteran lead
es Of that party under Texas skies, has doubled since
