bv which the basis of representation was
fixed rs one delegate for each ten mem
bers of the assocI atIOn in each state and

committee which framed the constitu
ton, explained in behalf OF thu commit
tee that the same object had been IN

that the committee had intended 10
throw the control of the association into
