NO RE-DISTRICTING
BILL INTRODUCED
Representative Cameron Reit-
crates Pledge Made to
People Who Elected
Him.

W. NJ. Cameron has not introduced

The statement in the Hustler of South
Pittsburg. on which the people at
large depended for the information
last week owing to Mr.. Cameron be-
ing absent in Nashville, was in error
The following letter from Mr.. Cam
sron clears mp the situation for those
opposed to q change:
editor News:
~ notice with much interest, your
articls under the heading "Redistrict-
ing Consi ered,'' and let me say that
/ appreciate the fact that you went to
much pains in showing the effect OF q
tentative re-districting bill, and am
glad the result slows that no political
significance could possibly be attach
ed to the measure. as suggested.
~ wish to say. however, that l
have not introduced any redistricting
bill for Marion County. The facts
are that have been requested to do
40 by many citizens, but mp to the
present time have not been convipc-
cd as to the merits of such a measure.

affecting the rights Of the people"
without submitting the same to vote
Of those affected. Neither you nor
any of my constituency need fear for
one moment that I will violate my
pre- election promise. am aware that
some criticism has been made and (for
selfish rsasons) of my having placed
the Office Of County Superintendent of
Public instruction in the hands Of the
"peope'' of Marion County. 1t Is
charged that have placed the Office
in "politics. II this be true, re-
gret my action. However, when in
troduced the bill was under the i'm
preston that the Office of County Su-
perintendent of Public instruction had
been very much sin politics. may
be mistaken as to that. think. how
ever, that other citizens Of Marion
County we're under similar impress
ion. In fact, it has been my observa-
tion that the office Of County Superin-
tendent Of Public Instruction had
served as very decided trading point
in the political affairs Of Marion
County, and instead Of placing it In
politics, l have endeavored to take 1t
as much out of politics as possible. I
am aware that cannot avoid some
criticism, but it shall be my endeavor
to leave no grounds Of justification for
such criticism.
