NEW HOUSE LINEUP
MAY ELECT HOOVER
ReappOrtiOnment Makes
Possible G. o. p. Gain of IL
Votes in Electoral College.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Reapportionment of House repreSen-
tation has resulted in a possible Repub-
lican gain of u votes In the new elec-
toral college.
This big shift in the voting strength
of 80 States may have unusual bearing
on the outcome Of the approaching
presidential election.
1t was brought about by the transfer
of ~ congressional seats from ~ 10 ~
States, through reapportionment on the
basis Of the 1880 census.
Net Gain Is Twelve.
Thirteen normally Republican States
lost Is seats, but 7 gained Il, increaS-
ing their total by Z. Eight normally
Democratic states lost II and 4
gained g. decreasing their total by 8.
That leaves a net Republican gain of II.
With this apparent gain, and under
ordinary political conditions, the Re-
pubIicans would be at an advantage in
q close contest between President
Hoover and Gov. Franklin D. Roose-
welt.
Should this eventuate, the election
result might be thrown into dispute
when the House and Senate convene on
the second Wednesday of next February

number 531, representing the 435 House
and So Senate seats.
Under the Constitution Congress is
required to reapportion the Representa-
tives every 10 years on the basis OF
population and each State receives as
many electoral votes as it has Repre-
sentatives and Senators. A majority
of the various States electoral votes
elects a President.
California Adds Nine.
The Republicans gained nine votes
in President Hoover'S normal Repub-
ucan State of California, four in
Michigan. two each in New Jersey, New
York and Ohio, and one each in Con-
necticit and Washington. But in
stanch Republican States they suffered,
losing two each in Iowa and Pennsyl-
vania, and one each in Indiana, Kan
saS, Maine Minnesota, Massachusetts,,
Nebraska. Rhode Island. North and
South Dakota, Vermont and Wisconsin.
Democratic gains included three in
Texas, and one each in North Carolina,
Oklahoma and Florida. Their losses
included three in Missouri, two each in
Georgia and Kentucky, and one each
in Alabama South Carolina, Tennessee
and Virginia.

POTATO GROWERS
ASK ASSISTANCE
Credit Corporation Is
Appealed to for Funds to Make
Storage Possible.
BY r. A. TROVATTEN,
minnesota Agriculture, Dairy and
ESood Cop, M iS ioporl

BY r. A. TROVATTEN,
minnesota Agriculture, Dairy and
Food Commissioner
Letter after letter has entered this
office from potato growers of Mime
sofa reporting that something has to
be done or millions of bushels of pota-
toes will be left to rot in the ground
this fall. The present price is too
especially in districts far re-
moved from market centers-to per-
nit the crop to be dug.
In consideration of this serious sit
uation, this department has appealed
to the Agriculture Credit Corporation.
headed by John w. Barton and located
in Minneapolis. asking whether it
would consider making loans to Min
nesota potato growers, provided they
were properly organized.
Sen. Henrik Shipstead, impressed
by the plan, has urged the Recon-
Finance Corporation, Wash
ington, to order such loans.
Cooperation Planned.
III CdSC VI ult 10 IhduO dNdloUASS
it is the departments plan to set up
local cooperative potato associations
and to amalgamate these into one
central coop. If granted, the loans
would go to this body.
The credit available would be used
for freight and sacking. Approx
mately $12O per 600 bushel car would
be needed. OF this sum, $8S, on an
average, would be used for freight
costs and $32 for sacking. Financing
of 5000 cars would be asked immed-
lately. if the corporation acquiesced.
The department has obtained free
storage facilities for these potatoes
in the Twin Cities. where they could
be safely held and released as the
price became better. The loans made
would be secured by warehouse re-
ceipts and bills of lading.
Crop reports show that the national
potato crop this year will fall under
that of 1881, which, in turn, was be-
low the 1O-year average. A tariff of
rs cents per hundredweight furnishes
assurance that no foreign potatoes
will be shipped into this country. For
those two reasons, it is the depart
ment's contention that there is no
surplus of potatoes in the United
States and that any loans advanced
potato growers would be safely Sc
cured.
In the event the credit corporation
refuses to finance farmers working
under the proposed program, an alter
native that individual growers be
granted loans has been proposed.
1t is our contention, after studying
the power of the corporation, that it
has the right to finance the farmers
under the plan advanced.
If money aid is to come, however,
il must come at once. After the first
freeze, it will be too late.
