WAIT CHANGES
IN PRECINCTS
DodSon Men See Chance to
Gain in Remapping
Boundaries.

Eyes Of politicians both within
and without the majority Repub-
ican faction turned on the county
commissioners today following an
nouncement of contemplated
changes in precinct boundaries.
About twenty precincts will be
changed. commissioners said. Num-
bers of those under consideration
for changes were not divulged.
Members of the Dodson faction
took hope because by slight gerry
Wandering in strategic points their
minority Of precinct committee
men may be increased materially.
Majority for DOdsOn
There is a majority of Dodson
men ON the commission, President
Cassius L. Hogle and Charles o.
Sutton. George Snider is men,
Der Of the Coffin faction.
The Coffin men are said to have
lost considerable strength in recent
changes that resulted from city hall
shakeupS, and slight maneuyering in
precinct boundaries now might yield
a more equitable balance Of power
in the party.
Democrats, too, turned hungry eyes
toward the commissioners but it
was conceded that little in their
favor will be done.
Population Shifts
Most of those under consideration
for changes are precincts lying near
the edge of the city. Hogle said.
These changes were made necessary
by shifts in population chiefly. he
said.
1t has been four years since gerry
Wandering has been resorted to to
shift the power. At that time the
Coffin men gained considerable
strength.
The changes will be made this
month, Hogle said. but no announce
ment of which precincts are affected
will be made until the end of the
month. Primaries are in May
Several requests for changes have
been made which the commissioners
have not had time to investigate,
it was said.
