Reapportionment plan eyed to shift Indiana districts
In Indianapolis on January 21, Republican Congressman elect John C. Chaney proposes a congressional reapportionment bill. The plan shifts Owen from the Second to the Fifth, adds Orange to the Second, Jefferson to the Third, Franklin to the Fourth, and Owen to the Fifth, aiming to boost Chaney and GOP prospects in the Second and Sixth districts while affecting Third and Fourth. The measure anticipates a 1906 fall election and would alter total district votes across the state.
