How the Basis Of Representation Is to lie
Determined.

As stated in yesterdays Times, the
Democratic State Committee has been
called together for Thursday May 10Th,
at $50 p. NJ. at Murphy's Hotel. AZ
that time the basis of representation LOT
the coming state Convention will be hNed
and IL will also be decided where TINS
gathering Is - be held.
OF late years IL has been the tendency
CT making the representation as large as
possible in order 10 create as much IN
terest in State politics az possible. Ii Is
more than probable, that as Tor the TWO
last States Convention the ratio VIII DC
decided on one delegate for each hundred
Democratic voters and also one for each
fraction Of fifty voters and over, the OASIS
TO be the last gubernatorial election.
There seems to prevail tendency, how
ever. in some quarters To make the vote
of the last presidential election the basis
Of representation Should this be done
the issue would be made with reference
TO the vote cast for Bryan. Some OF the
followers Of Mr.. Bryan appear to be de-
cided ia favor Of such move, while
others fear that It would not advance
the interests OF united Democratic
party.
AS 10 the place where the convention
IS 10 be held. the city Of Richmond will
of course put in q strong claim, while
invitations viii also be presented by the
delegates from Roanoke and Norfolk.
There seems TO be no disposition Of call
Ing the convention at an early date. and
there will be ample opportunity for the
various candidates to thoroughly survey
the field.
The nominations to be made by the
coming convention will be for Governor.
