the i I promised developments when the eev j I i eral other booms get into working I order have all contributed to command I I the attention of the people The Re i imblicans seem to think they have a lead pipe circh on the legislature The I t rral basis for < this belief is the fact that the constitutional convention was a Republican body Arguing from experience ex-perience with that party and from the Ii character of its leaders in this territory terri-tory it is but natural to suppose that given the opportunity they would bot hesitate to gerrymander the new state jo thoroughly as to leave no room for hI will of the people to make itself arpaaent Charley Cranes Gerrjniander t Had Charley Crane been allowed to work his own will this would have been accomplished He had stack the cards and
