trictins Bill.

Grosvenor's District.
Especial Correspondence.


Columbus. o.. April 9,-The House
today passed the Patterson Redistrict-
ing bill by vote of 6S TO 80.
The bill was amended somewhat at
Republican caucus Tuesday night.
The change was made by taking Fair.
field county off the Twelfth and add
ing it to General Grosvenor's district.
When the caucus convened. Repre-
sentative Tyler. of Sandusky county,
wanted to be placed in Republican
district. There were several speeches
besides his own but the question did
not reach the dignity of vote. He
did not care what changes were made
in the districts surrounding his own,
but he did want change so that lie
might either run for Congress or help
some of his friends earn that distinc-
ton.
Then came the matter of the
Twelfth. General Grosvenor was
rea ched by telephone at Washington
and after a few moments conversa-
ton he switched from his last position
and finally agreed to take Fairfield
county into his district. notwithstand-
ing that the change would lop off
| about n thousand votes from his big
majOrity. With this consent to start
she fun, the friends of the Twelfth
district amendment had easy sailing
in the caucus. With the Cleveland
Park Board bill as a ''persuader" some
of the original friends Of the bill were
induced to switch and they agreed to
