BLOCK T0GY'S PLAN
SCHEME TO GERRYNIANDER DISTRICT GIT JOHN
MLntAY CONDEMNED BY ISLAM


The Bay island improvement
club Wednesday put crimp in
the scheme of Commissioner Tor
gey Peterson to make 1t impossi-
BILE for the country to get real
representative.
Peterson goes out next fall.
But what worries him is that
the country people are apparently
determined to put John Murray of
Roy in his place. Murray backed
the movement last year that ex-
posed the rottenness in the COM
missioner's office. 1t compelled
Peterson to let Supervisor Mounts
go. Murray is still after him and
demanding that the whole court
house gang be shown up and the
money illegally taken paid back.
Peterson wants to keep Murray
out at all cost.
Gerrymander Scheme.
So he framed it up to take off
the Bay Island country belonging
to the district and attach II to the
North End of Tacoma. Then he
would attach Murray to the South

End of Tacoma and put him in
Libby's district, and Murray would
be disposed of.
But the Bay islanders got onto
1t before he had it finished.
Wednesday they condemned the
scheme. They also appointed a
committee and gave notice to
Paulhamus and T. II. Martin, who
were present, IL 1t went through

some other town.
Peterson Backs Up.
Peterson was called off, and,
assuming entire innocence, he
now declares he would not stand
a moment for a division of the
district.
AS a matter of fact, he had it
all framed up and was going to get
Murray shelved and then boost
Joe Mitchell or Swan Salmson into
the commissioners chair, and he
would still have been boss, al
though out of office himself.
These Bay Island farmers
knocked his scheme into a cooked
hat, however.
