The question q representation in Re-
publican Conventions hes been much dis
Cussed. 1t Is p,cning fer settlement.
1t canno. be held to be fair or even
polite that the States Of 'Niigsourl and
Mississippi, which together poll but $4,000
Republican votes, and cannot give single
electoral vote TO the Republicans nominee,
shall 10 four votes stronger than Ohio,
which casts $4,000 Republican votea and
will give 10 tho Presidential ticket twenty.
three electoral votes. Alabama, which
polls an eighth ~. many Republican votes
rs Pennsylvania and gives her electoral
vote to the other side, has u third as many
delegates in tho National Convention.
Not TO draw sectional line, and to COM
pare two Northern Republican States, note
the dispropor,ion Of representation as be.
tween Rhode Island and New Hampshire {:
Each has eight delegates in the convention;
Rhode Islands represent 1915 'Republi.
cans, New llampshire's 1850. Take
Texas and Tennessee: Tcxessrnds twenty.
six delegstes for $685. Republican votes;
Tennessee, with l07.G77 Republican vo!ea,
nearly twice az many, sends two less, or
twenty.four delegates. $1,000 Republicans
OF Texas can defeat the will Of the 107, 900
Republicans oil Tennessee. Together they
are more than match Tor the great Re.
publican Slate OF Illinois, which polls
nearly twice as many Republican votes IS
tho two together. 5u0.5 w.
The fatal defect in the pyegent basis Of rep.
rssentation is that Democrats are represent.
cd in the Republican national convention
az before tho war slaves were represented
in the House Of Representatives, except
that now tho whole Democrat Ia countsd.
In West Virginia we have no trouble to
arrange this matter fairly and to the gem
eral satisfaction. This We DO by basing
the representation OF each county on its
Republican vote. The manifest justice OF
this plan leaves no room for complaint.
The same plan is used in other States
why not in the Republican convention Of
all the States.
