PROSPECTIVE CHANGE IN DISTRICTS WORRY TO G. 0. P. LEADERS

.With, the prospect that the next congressional apportionment, based on the new, census ef the United States, will reduce Indian's representation in congress from-13 to 12 congressmen. Republican leaders In the sixth congressional district of Indiana are some.

what purturbed orer the proposal to

abolish the fourtn district ana nave 11 counties absorbed by the third and frfTth districts.

Th fourth district is a Democratic

stronghold notwithstanding the fact

that it is now represented in congress by a Republican, Representative John s. Benham. who won over Lincoln

Dixon, Democrat, In 1918, by a majority of 528. In political circles it Is an accepted fact that the Republican victory in the fourth district in 1918 was

primarily due to local Issues. Decatur

county is the only normal Kepumican county in the fourth district. There are now eight counties in the

sixth district, and three of them.

Franklin, Hancock and Shelby, are normally Democratic. In the event the 11 counties of the fourth district

were parceled out to the third and sixth districts the sixth probably would absorb Decatur county, adding

another Republican county, but it is

also probable three or four Democratic

counties miKht be assigned to the

sixth, in which event the sixth would

be transformed from a normal Repub llcan to a debatable district.

. The third district, now represented

by a Republican, Representative James W. Dunbar, is regarded Demo

cratic territory. Only at rare inter

vals is it represented in congress by a Republican. Should several counties of the fourth district be alloted to the third, it would be converted into a Democratic stronghold. Such being the case. Republican leaders in the third can be expected to join with the G. O. P. organization in the sixth in a sharp protest over the proposed dismemberment of the fourth district. If the membership of the national house of representatives, which now numbers 435, is not to be Increased, It Is estimated that each state would be entitled to one member of congress for each 236,189 population. The new census of the eight counties of the sixth district gives the district a population of 183,172, or 53,017 less than the population required for a representative in congress. The populations of the several counties of the sixth district follow:

Decatur county was formerly affil

iated with the sixth. Through the efforts of Finly H. Gray, Democrat, who formerly represented the sixth in congress, Decatur, with its strong Republican majority, was transferred to the fourth with the approval of former representative Lincoln Dixon, of the fourth, also a Democrat. Mr. Gray felt that by eliminating the Republican vote in Decatur his seat in congress would be fairly safe. The fourth having always been strongly Democratic, Mr. Dixon felt the addition of a Republican county to his district would make very little difference. However, the "swapping" of Decatur county resulted in an odd political boomerang. With the passing away of the Progressive party the.G. O. P. In the sixth district came back to its own in 1916 and Gray was brushed into the political discard. In 1918 the big Democratic vote in the fourth district became disaffected and Decatur, the fourth's new member, came through with such a large Republican majority that Dixon was defeated and Benham, the Republican candidate was elected. -

Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse tie hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it In. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and

silky, bright lustrous, fluffy ai d easy . to manage. i You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil ! shampoo at ony plurmacy, it's very ; chean. and a few ounces will suddIv !
