Washington, July 18 That new ap

lican leaders became known today.
The plan is to prevev any great in
crease In representation front the
southern states, which is feared would
endanger the "house machine."
It Is predicted the house under the
new apportionment could not be more
than 410 as against a membership of
368 at present.
According to those who are doing
the talking the ucw apportionment
will be one representative to every
220.000. At present it Is one for ev
ery 198,182. Frdm figures already
given out by the census department
it is estimated that the population of
n south will reach 29 millions,
which will give to the south two more
congressmen. The claim is made that
republicans are planning to give the
benefit of the new apportionment to
New England states.
