REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS
Manley VIII Nave Charge OF Them I'm

wAsHisGToS. Nov. 2L--Joseph Manley
Of Maine dropped into the city and left
for New York last night During his
stay in Washington he consulted with
some OF the leaders here and as q re-
suit Of the conference il was decided 20
establish permanent headquarters for
the republican national committee here.
As MIR. Carter. the chairman, IL detained
in Montana by his business Affairs, work
at headquarters will be under Mr.. Man
ley's personal supervision. While Gen
eral Harrison held the Office Of president
OF the United States, he repeatedly
urged the leaders of the party to adopt
the Indiana plap Of permanent head
quarters at the capital. The plan
worked so well locally that he
believed that it would be even
moro successful IL applied to the
field Of national politics. During the
sessions OF congress Mr.. Manley will
have the advice and CO operation Of re-
publican members OF congress and he
will at all times be In Communication

dent The meeting Of the executive
committee OF the national commit
tee will DO held next month.
but whether in New York or Washing
ton has not been determined. At that
meeting an endeavor will be made TO
formulate a plan looking to decreased
representation from the southern states
at future national conventions. Some
OF the republican leaders feel that the
southern delegates now WELD an inHu-
ence to which they are not entitled. IL
will be argued at the meeting OF the
executive committee that the reprcsen-
tation from such OF the southern states
as are hopelessly democrat states. for
example. that can by 10 possibility give

sometimes control several congressional
districts. the full representation will be

their action will not be conclusive. but
will have to be passed upon at the next
meeting OF the full committee, where il
will 20 doubt be fiercsly combatted by
