REACTIONARY XOURT IS IDEA OF HARDING SAYS GOVERNOR COX

(By Associated Press) PADUCAH. Ky., Oct. 8. Effect cf the presidential contest upon prospective United States supreme court vacancies was declared by Governor Cox, of Ohio, in an address here today, to be "the real danger of a reactionary victory, next to the scrapping of the league of nations." The Democratic presidential candidate stated that at least four vacancies on the high court were In prospect and referring to the senate's control over confirmations, and to Senator Harding as the "reactionary candidate, ho added: 1 "Besides, it would naturally follow that a reactionary president would appoint four reactionary members of the supreme court." The governor declared this was one of the reasons why "the senatorial oligarchy" should be defeated. Scores Oligarchy. "There are several reasons why the senate oligarchy should not be permit ted to win this election," he sale. "Throughout the years, the senate has trespassed on the authority of the house of representatives. The constitution provides that all legislaton providing for the raising of revenues shall be initiated in the house. Yet there probably has not been a tariff measure In the last 50 'years which was not

changed in Its every line arter the enacting clause once it reached the senate. By the nomination of one of its own members as the reactionary candidacy for tho presidency. It now has tho opportunity of annexing the executive department. "If the senatorial ring should win the election it would in addition to controlling the president, also possess the constitutional right of confirmation to the supreme court of members appointed by the president. Four members of tho court being now eligible for retirement, there will beyond doubt be at least four vacancies in this court within the next four years." Playing Big Stakes. "It will be feen at a glance that the senatorial crowd is playing for big stakes, which are no more nor less than absolute control of the three constitutional branches of our government. No president of the United States will appoint anyone that he deems unworthy of a place on the highest court in the land, but wo must be reminded that the senatorial nominee for the presidency has confirmed his faith many times in the theory of plural government, which mean3 that he will not only confer with the group around him, but that this same group has tho constitutional right to apply its check if the President should show any signs of independence. Besides, it would naturally follow that a reactionary President would appoint four leactlonary members of the supreme court. This would bind the country to reaction for the better 'part of a generation. It is a simple matter for the people to make a change in the executive and legislative branches of the government, Irut not in the judicial. As I see it, this is the real danger of the reactionary victory, next to the scrapping of the league of nations." Governor Cox- ppoke here upon arriving from Nashville, Tenn., where he addressed a large tabernacle crowd last night. His Kentucky campaign: was to end after a dozen rear plat

form speeches from his special train tonight at Louisville.

WEST AND SOUTH GAIN IN POLITICAL WAY FROM POPULATION RETURNS OF CENSUS

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. Examina

tion cf the. final census figures of the country which place the total population of the continental United States at 105,633,108 indicates that the west

and the south proportionately will gain more in a political way than the east or middle west through increased membership in the house of representatives, more votes in the electoral college and in larger delegations to the national political conventions. This result will obtain whatever basis of apportionment is adopted by congress next winter, fixing the size of the next house which in turn is reflected in the electoral college and the conventions of the big political parties. 50 New Seats. As a result of the increase of 13,710,842 in population during the past ten years, fifty new seats must be added to the house to prevent any state from losing any part of its present representation. Should the present membership of 435 be left unchanged by Increasing the basis of apportionment there will have to be a transfer of thirteen seats, now held by twelve states, to nine other states. For the past half a century the precedent has been to increase the size of the house so as to prevent loss of existing representation by any state. As a result, the house has grown from 243 to 435 members, with only three states, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, losing one member each in the last fifty years. If the precedent is followed this year five additional representatives' seats must be given to California, four each for New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan; 3 to Illinois and Texas, 2 to Massachusetts, New Jersey and North Carolina, and 1 each to Alabama, Arizona, Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Virginia, Arkansas and Minnesota. Can Make Change While the present basis of appor

tionment is 211,877 inhabitants or its

msinr fraction tn tho pnncrrocotnnal

isRiie of the Richmond nigh School district, congress can increase the

basis to 219,427 without causing any loss.

To advance beyond the latter figure j will mean that Maine would lose one! Eeat, with the net result of 48 new!

J seats in congress. Crme-rPsstnTini

leaders are strongly opposed to any large Increase in the house as they regard the present mmbrship of 435 as too unwieldy. When the house census committee. headed by Representative Siegel of New York, begins consideration of the problem, effort will be made to hold down the increase, but pressure for the increase is expected to come from the states which would benefit from a larger house. Only since in 1840 has the size of the house been reduced. At one time

just before the Civil war, the appor

tionment was neia down, with the resulting loss of seats falling most heavily ofl the southern states. Distributing Gains. By holding the house membership to 435, gains would be distributed with three to California, two to Michigan and Ohio, and one each to Connecticut, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas and Washington. To offset these gains, Missouri would be forced to lose two congressman, while Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, Rhode Island, Vermont and Virginia would lose one each. All other states would retain their present numerical delegations in congress. It may be decided to hold the net increase to less than a score, which might be accomplished by causing Mississippi to lose two seats, and Iowa, Kentucky, Maine and Indiana one each. The apportionment basis would be 234,947 inhabitants to the congressional district with a net insrease ol 14 in the size of the house. These seats and those lost by Missouri, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine and In diana would be distributed as follows: California, four; Michigan and Ohio, three; Texas, two, and Connecticut, Illinois New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvani and Washington one each. ,-.
