CENSUS FIGURES REVEAL SIXTEEN
PER CENT POPULATION INCREASE

the house and IS states will gain
an equal number.
The population figures announced
today are the first official totals
available from the recent census
for the nation most of the state.
Only IS state totals previously had
been announced by the census bur
eau. The figures still are subject to
revision, though some changes are
expected to be slight.
The figures show New York state
has by far the greatest population
among the states, with q total of
/ 2,6l9,503. Pennsylvania is second
with 9,640,S03 and Illinois third
with 7,G07,684
California Leads
California, however, led the ma
tion in population increase, both
numerically and on a percentage ba-
sis. The states percentage increase
Of GJ.6 per cent was far ahead of
any other. Florida being next with
5l.4.
In addition, and contrary to ear
lier estimates, California also led
all in the number of new citizens.
Its increase was 2,24j.lS as com
pared with 2,234 PA for New York.
New York, second in numerical in
creases, was ninth in the list on a
percentage basis, gaining 2l.j per
cent.
All of the 48 states and the dis
trict of Columbia showed an in
crease in population except Mon
tana, which dropped from 54S,SS9 to
| J36,332, of 2.3 per cent. Georgia
reported the smallest gain, Gil, OF
80 per cent.
Nevada remained the least popu
lated of the states although gain
! Of 17.5 per cent was shown. Its 1896
total was only 90,9Sl.
The rapid growth of California
is reflected in the rcapportionmeni
| Figures. The far western state will
gain nine congressman, giving il
total of 20 instead ofll.
'Missouri,. as expected, will be
the biggest loser, dropping three
! seats. An unexpected change will
/ be loss of one seat for Massachu
setts, while other unlocked fol
changes are the elevation of Ari
zona and New Mexico from the
group of states having only on,
representative.
These estimates are based upor
the reapportionment method ap
proved by congress year ago. Thi!
!method will be used unless the >.
