Mixed-Up Affair Over Warwick Successor in Ohio
Columbus, Aug 15. The death of Congressman John G. Warwick of Ohio’s Sixteenth District sparks a dispute over his successor. Gerrymandering years ago split Stark, Wayne, and Holmes, raising questions whether the new or old district should elect Warwick’s replacement. The legislature altered districts, leaving Stark with Mahoning and Columbiana, while Wayne and Holmes join the Seventeenth. A special election must decide who serves in Congress and which district votes. The legality of electing under the old vs new districts is debated as state officials await a decision.
