Some parties are trying to have the
Ninth Congressional District changed in
its make up, by taking off certain counties
that now constitute part of it and adding
to it some of the counties that are now a
part of the Fifth District. Protests are
being sent to the Legislature from the
counties that are suggested to be taken
from the district asking that it be not
done. We do not SET, how any CT the coun-
ties can be taken off without injustice to
the people of the district. The suggested
change will not help the partisans who are
engineering the movement.
