DUCKTOWN, TENN, February II, 1915
WHAT THE CLEVELAND
HERALD HAS TO SAY.

The citizenship of Polk county is said to
be up in arms against the attempt which
has been made and will propably be con-
tinued 10 redistrict that county for political
purposes merely
That the effort is for political purposes
merely needs no further proef than
The fact that Hon. w. F. Russell of
Benton is the chief moguI in the attempt.
The bill which has passed the senate was
not introduced by the senator representing
, Polk county, and was opposed by the sena-
7 tor and representative, who apparently are
I trying to represent the wishes of their
people. 1t was not passed by strictly
I, arty vote, as has been stated there having
sheen ten senators who voted against it. 1t
lis thought yet that the bill may have rough
sailing in the house, after the people of
K Polk county are given an opportunity to
express themselves.
34 A prominent Republican from Benton
who was here last week stated that there
will be great dissatisfaction in Polk county
if the bill finally passes. He says it will
be the greatest thing for the Republican
party in Polk county that ever happened,
as nine or ten Democrats in the county OPP
pose the hill. He contends that it is being
pushed by a little coterie of politicians
about Benton for their own personal adj
vantage and that passed it passed it will
disorganze and ruin the Democrats in that
county for the next twenty years.
The bill contemplates abolishing all the
districts of the county except three, and
will reduce the court from twenty members
to ten members. Citizens in Bradley
county are not interested in the fight
except so far as it mayefect local
politics Several years ago an at
tempt was made to reduce the number of
justices in many of the counties and in
Bradley the number was materially reduced.
Some have contended that the reduction
has not proven an unmixed blessing. Polk
county has so far resisted the effort to cut
down the court The fact that is being
heralded abroad that the new court will
have one Democratic majority, is taken by
most people to be the real motive behind
the move. If, however, the people are
displeased with the matter, it is probable
that the advantage may prove to be short
lived and it may prove very disastrous
even politically. When the Legislature be-
comes aware of the real conditions the bill
may meet breakers.
