TIGHT VOTE FACES
REINFORCEMENT
City Versus Country Clash on
House Change Faces
Complications.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

The reapportionment fight which
looms for the incoming short session
threatens as close a decision as the
party organization Of the new Congress
some Is months hence. Here also the
small third party" or neutrals are
found holding the deciding votes.
All this Is disclosed In an analysis
made by an official of the House for
the Republican leadership to guide its
policy in the matter.
As the situation now stands reappor-
tionment becomes automatic after the
incoming short session has passed into
history. unless some amendatOry action
Is taken. This would affect the Con-
gress to be elected In the Fall Of 1882.
Fem Friend Of Deal.
With Connecticut gaining one seat
under the census figures, which are to
be the basis for reapportionn1ent Rep
resentative e. Hart Fem Of Connectt-
cut. who Ii chairman of the House
Census Committee, sees little likelihood
OF any action to annul or modify the
legislation already passed. He will do
all in his power to prevent action by
his committee to report out any such
bill.
Nevertheless there will be plenty Of
measures introduced seeking to change
the reapportionment act: Members
from the Middle West and the South,
heading an anti-alien movement, will
seek to have the aliens eliminated from
the census figures to be used as a basis
Of apportioning representation in the
House, with the claim that some T.
500, 600 aliens are now counted in with
American citizens In figuring out an
equal voice" for all citizens In legisla-
ton. With the industrial cities jam
med with alien workers this promises to
develop into city versus country clash.
Would Bar COlored.
Then, again, legislation aimed to ex-
clude colored persons who are not all
lowed to vote in the South is to be
urged by Representative George Holden
Tinkham of Massachusetts,. So, much
as Chairman Fem, with the gain for
his home State well in mind, may try
to prevent legislation on this subject
there are many other members who will
make o stubborn fight for the change
which would prevent the present law
from going into operation.
Party leaders emphasize that the
chances are against any corrective leg
iSlation being passed at the incoming
short session on the general theory that
1t would have been much easier to head
on the reapportionment before the act
was passed than it will be now to get
through by affirmative action any meas
ure that would tend to nullify the ex-
listing law.
The analysis for the House leaders,
however, shows that If the DIRECTORS,
those seeking amendment of the law to
prevent a reapportionn1ent on the basis
OF the new census returns, do manage
to get the bill out of committee, the
lineup for vote in the House will be
one Of the closest in history.
Close Vote Possible.

strength of delegations in the House,

would gain through use of the, present
census figures to be ISL; while the State
