Whnt Gorerns the Number.

What law governs the number OF dele
gates from each State TO a national polil-
zeal convention? Why 90 they nave dis
trict delegates and state delegates!
1t is custom, not law, that fixes the
number Of delegates. The number IS twice
as great as the number Of senators and
representatives in Congress; that Is each
State sends two delegates for each sena-
tor and representative it has. The dis
trict delegates represent the Congress dis
trlcts. and so stand for the representa-
tiyes; the State delegates or delegaies-at-
large, stand for the senators. Each state
sends four delegates-at-large, as each
state has two senators.
