Iowa to have ten congressmen after next census
Des Moines reports indicate Iowa will likely drop to ten representatives after March 4 1913. Officials expect the census will prompt redistricting by the next session of the legislature and Congress to set an apportionment around 225000 per seat, keeping total House membership under 400. The Eleventh and Tenth districts have mismatched populations, while the First has trended lower, prompting a complex redraw.
