A CHANGE I'm BASIS
Proposed in the Election of Republi-
can National Delegates.

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 2S.-Henry c.
Payne, the Wisconsin member, will
present at the meeting of the Republi-
can national committee in Washington,
December u, a resolution recommend
ing a change in the basis of repre-
sentation in future Republican national
conventions. The resolution follows:
Whereas, The present basis Of rep
resentation in national conventions is
unjust and unequal, and believing that
this injustice should be remedied;
therefore,
Resolved. That the Republican ma
tional committee recommend to the
next national convention that new
basis of representation be established
as follows:
Each state to be entitled to four
delegates -at-large, and one additional
delegate for each 10000 votes, or frac-
ton thereof, cast at the last presiden-
tial election for Republican electors;
and four delegates from each organ
Ted territory and the District of Co
lumbia; and be, it further,
Resolved, That in allotting delegates
to the several states as provided, aside
from delegates at-large, they shall be
divided as near as practical among the
several congressional districts of the
state; the basis shall be the same, and
where it is necessary to unite one or
more congressional districts for the
purpose of carrying out this resolution,
contiguous districts may be united"
If the plan to be proposed by Mr..
Payne is recommended by the national
committee and adopted by the conven-
ton, Alabama would have nine dele
gates, Arkansas eight, Florida five,
Georgia ten, Louisiana six, Mississippi
five and South Carolina five-a total of
forty nine, instead Of 124, as under the
present apportionment.
The other decreases would be:
Colorado one, Idaho one, Montana
one. Nebraska two, Nevada one, North
Carolina two, Tennessee two, Texas
nine, Utah one, Virginia six and Wy
oming one
The increase would be:
California, one, Connecticut three; Il
HnOis seventeen, Indiana six, Iowa
seven. Maryland two, Massachusetts
two, Michigan five. Minnesota five,
New Hampshire two, New jersey six,
New York fourteen, North Dakota one,
Ohio eleven, Oregon one, Pennsylvania
thirteen, Vermont one, West Virginia
two and Wisconsin seven.
The representation of the other
states would remain as now. The total
number Of delegates would be S94, as at
present.

How Mrs. Pinkham
HELPED MRS. GOODEN.
- 30 MRs. RINKHAM No. 80

LETTER TO MRS. PINKHAM NO. I2,733]
ST am very grateful to you for your
kindness and the interest you have
taken in me, and truly believe your
medicines and advice are worth more
to a woman than all the doctors in the
world. For years I had female troubles
and did nothing for them. OF course
I became no better and finally broke
down entirely. Ny troubles began
with Inflammation and hemorrhages
from the kidneys, then Inflammation,
congestion and falling of the womb
and Inflammation of ovaries.
q underwent local treatment every
day for some time; then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permits
sion to go back to work. went back,
but in less than a week was COM
PEELED to give up and go to bed. On
breaking down the second time, 1 de-
cided to let doctors and their medicine
alone and try your remedies. Before
the first bottle was gone L felt the eff
fects of it. Three bottles of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
package of her Sanative Wash did me
more good than all the doctors treat
ments and medicine.
''The first remark that greets me
now is How much better you lookT and
you may be sure never hesitate to tell
the cause of my health. Mrs. E. J.
GooDEN, ACKLEY, IA.

to understand is why parents seem to
enjoy seeing their children undergo the
agony of stage fright in an amateur
entertainment.
Eighteen years ago, two Atchison
women quarreled over a hired girl. The
girl left the city long ago. but returned
lately, on a visit. and called on the two
women. Neither of them recognized
her but the quarrel is still going on.
Evelyn Adams, a pretty little girl
who lived in York state, could recite
pieces. and write little love stories and
poetry. People told her she was vast
ing her life; that she should go to the
city, where she would be appreciated.
She went to New York city, and died
there the early part of the present week
of starvation.

MADE A GOOD RECORD.
Very Few Appellate Court Cases Re
versed by Supreme Court.

Some of those connected with the
court of appeals of the state are indig-
nant at the reports which have gone
out concerning the showing made con-
corning the courts decisions in the
siXtieth Kansas report, which has just
been published. The report has gained
circulation that this last volume of Su-
preme court opinions shows that IA out
of % cases carried to the supreme court
from the court of appeals were reverS-
ed. This would be an extremely bad
showing if true. but it is not true.
There are two ways of getting cases
to the supreme court from the court of
appeals. A few can be appealed as
matter of right, but the majority are
taken up on petitions to certify, and
the judges can hear them or not as
they see fit.
If the supreme court does not grant
a petition to certify it is equivalent to
affirming the lower court and no Opin-
thought that the lower court may have
committed an error the petition to
certify is granted, and the case may
be argued before the supreme court,
after which an opinion is prepared,
which goes into the court reports.
In the time covered by the sixtieth
Kansas report there were 120 petitions
to certify filed in the supreme court
from the court of appeals, and cases
were appealed as a matter of right. OF
the 12O petitions to certify, q were al
lowed. OF those 81 cases. 13 were final
~ affirmed.
A summary of all the cases shows
that out of the 128 cases taken to the
peals, only u were entirely reversed, 2
were reversed in part, 2 were dismiss
ed, which is equivalent to affirming
them, and the balance were either af-
hrmed or the petitions to certify were
refused because it was found that the
court below had committed no error.

HOMELIEST MAN.
Chas. G. Titus of Topeka Claims the
Honor.

Governor Stanley has become very
popular as an auctioneer since he auc-
toned off a pillow to help along a
church.
At Ottawa during the state 7. NJ. c.
A. meeting Governor Stanley took the
platform and engineered a collection
for the benefit of the state work of that
association. He started the work with
a donation and then kept up a lively
running banter of talk trying to have
the money come in faster but it did not
come as fast as he hoped. He tried
several jokes but all to no use.
AS a last resort he drew a IS bill from
his pocket and holding it before the
audience said: 4 will donate this to
the collection in addition to my other
contribution if anyone in the audience
will stand up and admit that he is
hOmelier than I am
4 guess I am the man, said Charles
G. Titus of Topeka as he jumped to his
feet almost before the governor had
finished. The money went into the
fund and the assistant secretary of the
Topeka Y. NJ. c. A is acknowledged
the homeHest man in Kansas.
