attention of the convention to the trouble
experienced by the last county central
committee in the matter Of apportionment.
and suggested that before the next central
committee Was appointed that question
should be determined by the convention,
in order that the next central committee
shall not be placed in the same humiliating
position as the last one found itself Ira for
strictly following the presidents esiab-
lished In King county for nearly twenty
years. Mr.. Crawford then handed the
chair the following resolution. prepared
by George g. Lyon, which was read and
unanimously adopted:
s'Res0ired That IL is the sense OF this
convention that the central committee IN
making appoTtionment Of delegates be
guided by the following principles:
Il. To every precinct casting one or
more Republican votes one delegate shall
be apportioned.
- Further apportionment shalt be
made upon ratio TO DC established by the
committee. one delegate TO be allowed for
each fuli number and one delegate for each
