The additional delegates shown in the third and
1oufth columns of the foregoing table include both
addlti3nal dcegates-atarge gwen on account of
Eepubllcan Senator'S, and additional district dele
gates gwen on account of Republican
representatives Ii will he noticed that
a state will sometimes receive larger
number OF additional district delegates than she
had of Republican Representatives. in either Con-
gress Kentucky, for example, has one Republican
Congressman In the XLVIlth Congress and VIII have
two In tho XLYIIth Congress. All of these,
however, are from different districts and
kentucky would have, therefore. three additional
district delegates in the convention. The Forbes
plan aims at a small convention 10y giving only one
delegate-at-la large for each Senator and only ono
district delegate for each Representative in
Congress from the State, and then one
additional elegate.at-large for each Republican
Senator, and one additional district delegate for
each Republican Representative. As proposed. tho
Forbes ruIc bases the additional delegates on the
Republican membership in the "exlstiagD Con-
gress Bt II, will make a more intelligent
comparison If it be assumed that the
basis Is the same as IN the Chandler Mcpherson
plan the two Congresses together The Forbes plan,
