Plan Proposed Whereby Wards Will be Jugg|ed and
Five Of the Six Will be Given Small
Republican Majorities.
Scheme UnfoIded Monday Evening at Joint Meeting
Of Republican League and Council Members
of Same Political Faith.

A gerrymander, daring in conception
and sweeping in It's effects, has been
planned by the Republicans of Canton
In order that they may benefit to the
full and enjoy all the fruits of the new
code. The plan was unfolded at a
meeting of the Republican members of
the council and a committee of the Re-
publican league, Of Canton. In the
committee rooms in the city hall after
council meeting Monday night.
William T. McRoberts, county tax
inquisitor, was the expositor and dem
onstrator of the new scheme to the
council members Monday night. So
intricate and detained Is the plan that
after McRoberts laid down his ferule
the cOuncilmen in attendance sank
back and sighed with relief. Such
members who were In attendance
stated Tuesday morning that they
could remember not one of the waro
boundaries and the only thing that
commended the plan to their minds
was the statement. made by McRoberts
that the consummation Of the plan
will mean five Republican wards and
one Democratic ward
McRoberts admitted himself that he
could not tell where the. ward boun-
daries were unless he saw the map.
that he had drawn them with the aid
o: the poll books and he refused to
produce the map. "If the council
committee will not consider this PLAN"
stated McRoberts, Il shall tear It to
rieces: but it will. never go out or
my hnds until the committee, Or the
Repiblfcan members, endorse it."
According to the McRobert's plat,
none of the present boundary lines re-
main. .sFrom the first ward clear
around to the Seventh, little Repub-
lican strength has been juggled from
one place to another; and the Demo-
cratic strength is crowded little, un-
til according to the experienced fgur-
Ing of the tax inquisitor and new ward
manufacturer, there remains nothing
for the Democrats but the Fourth
