Long Threatens Filibuster Over Work-Relief Bill
Washington report on Huey Long threatening a filibuster against the $4 80,000,000 work relief measure. Senate rules require a two thirds vote to limit debate, unlikely to pass. Sen Carter Glass criticizes slow progress as Long uses rambling speeches and amendments. A vote on a $500,000,000 wage amendment looms, with Long hoping to pare the sum to $150,000,000 if needed.

Redistricting Bill Gives Lorain Edge in 15th District
Passage of the George D. Harter redistricting bill by the House boosts Lorain and Medina into the 15th district and trims Ohio to 24 congressional seats. The plan shifts Lorain to the 13th with Erie Huron Sandusky and Seneca while Summit becomes the 14th district. Cuyahoga gains four seats, and Lorain’s population advantage could aid a local winner. The measure awaits Senate action.

In Columbus on March 14 the House approved a Gerrymander bill by 68 to 52 after Summit County Republicans Fred Mourey and Ed Rose switched from no to yes.
