principal race and already there are
several prospective candidates.

break into print was Wallace Well

didate, who does not hesitate about
giving an affirmative answer Is Col.

HOIST ON THEIR
own PBTARD ARB
THE POLITICIANS

Finding that the "gerrymander-
ing" of the magisterial districts had
the opposite effect from that anticl-
pated, Democratic politicians are dis
cussing whether their action in
changing the magisterial divisions
was legal, and now would Like to
have the old boundaries restored.
Should the changing of the division
be held not legal, II might result in
the election of Magistrate George
Broadfoot, thus giving the Democrats
control of the fiscal court, as they
realize that the alteration of the re-
suits in the stub book of the Seventh
district has been detected.
Magistrate George Broadfoot was
at the court house today Investigate
ing the order made in county court
for the election board to establish
new boundaries for the magisterial
districts. However. the law reads
that the boundaries shall not be
changed within GO days before the
election, and the order was made in
June. Lawyers say that the Demo-
cratic primary was not the election
and therefore the redistricting could
have been done after the primary.
Magistrate j. J. Bleich Is the only
Republican member of the fiscal
court, and in order that he might not
be elected again Yancey's. Demo-
cratic precinct, was removed from
the First magisterial district and
placed in the Second (his) district.
In this manner II was thought the
Republican majority would be over
come while the First district would
remain Democratic. Part of Diegeps.
a Republican precinct, was taken
from him and put in the First.
The result was that instead OF this
defeating Bleich II defeated Broad
foot, Democrat In the First.
