in the Sixth Supreme Court district,
represented by Justice James H. Cart
wright. The final draft, in effect, leg
islated Justice Cartwright out of
office and placed Justice Thompson of
Rock Island in the Cartwright dis
trict, while it was giving an addi-
tiOnal justice to Cook County and re-
ducing the number of downstate JUS
tices from six to five, making the
total seven.
@
The new proposal is to increase the
number of justices to nine, leaving
the six downstate districts as they
LOW are bounded, and giving to the
Seventh, or Chicago district, three
justices, or two additional justices,
with the provision that not more than
two shall come from Cook county. This
would give the third to the outside
counties now included in the Cook
county district-Lake, Will, Kankakee
and Du Page

If the Cook county members have
any CUTS they will knock this out
But what's the use?
