St. Louis, June 1.-THE national COM
mittee met at 10A5 today. On motion OF
Scott of West Virginia the time for the
presentation of the cases of claimants to
seats was reduced from 10 to 10 minutes
by vote of 20 to 10. Scott said 1t was
clear that at the present rate OF progress
the committee would be engaged entirely
too long Only 60 of the 16S seats in con
test have been awarded.
National Committeeman Payne will
press his resolution for a different repre-
sentation In the national conventions. He
wants the national committee to recon-
mend to the convention the following:
Resolved, That the national committee
recommend to the convention that here
after the basis of representation of the
several states shall be on a basis Of
votes cast In the election in 1894"
The representation would increase Colo
RADIO from to II, Idaho from to .. Mon.
tana from 6 to IL, Nevada from to 8,
Oregon from to IA. Washington from s
to %.
The scenes through which the national
committee has passed in the past few
days that it has been considering the con-
tests will probably influence them to ia
vorably consider Paynes resolution.
