present, all states to have q voting
power of not les than 10, no matter
what the emallness of the attending
delegation.
The report was adopted without dis
cuseion, with the exception OF the
clause limiting the voting power OF
delegation.
At this point Delegate F. J. Cannon
OF Utah moved to strike out the maxi
mum limit, thus giving full delegations
q vote for every man. He supported
the mo.ion with the contention that
saates and territories sufficiently in
terested to send all delegates to which
they were entitled should be allowed to
vote such delegates. Elk Governor
Prince OF New Mexico Endorsed the
original report, as necessary to prevent
nearby sections from overpowering, by
their easily transported delegates, those
unable to send full delegation from far
away points.
Delegate Black OF Washington offered
a substitute making clearer the voting
powers of each delegation, but retain
ing the maximum and minimum limits
OF 80 TO 10. Delegate Williams OF
Arkansas, member OF the rules com.
mittee, explained that the report was
prepared on a bssis of fairness. More
over, upon the committee making the
report Utah had representative, who
accepted the report.
Delegate w. J. Bryan Of Nebraska op.
posed the amendment offered by Dele.
gate Cannon. ss it tended to permit two
or three states to rule the convention,
reducing the weight of the recommend
atoms OF the congress. After come fur
