The chief discussion at the meeting ~ TIA
Executive Committee yesterday afternoon was
over the unit Of representation TO be followed
in the election Of delegates at the primaries
That was the only question upon which the dis
trict leaders divided Some OF the leaders
wanted the election district unit followed in all
cases permitted by the primary Jaw and the
rules of the County Committee They SAID the
primary elections at which the election district
unit Of representation was followed allowed
greater freedom OF choice 70 the voters OF the
organization. Some OF the leaders said the rules
compelled the election OF delegates 10 county
conventions and the election Of delegates 70 the
County Committee on the Assembly district
plan and they thought delegates to Congress
and Senate district conventions ought 10 Be
elected on the same plan. II was remarked in
the discussion that some OF the leaders who could
carry their districts when there one ticket
for an Assembly d--trict at the primaries might
not be able to control the primaries az which
separate tickets were voted at each election
district.
Collector Bidweu, who went late 10 the meet
ing offered a resolution 10 have the delegates
TO Congress and Senate district conventions
elected directly from the election districts at the
primaries. His resolution was supposed 70 be
aimed mainly at Abraham Gruber. the leader IN
the XXIst District Mr.. Cfruber is expected TO BE-
able to carry the XXIst District at the primaries
but there are several election districts which
probably will be carried by George c. Austin. Il
delegates were elected the election district
plan, therefore Mr.. Gruber might be able
TO control the delegates from the XXIst District
to Congress and Senate district conventions. Mr
BidweIrs resolution was voted down. II was de-
cided to make the Assembly district tha unit o.
representation in the election Of delegates 10 the
County Committee. the county convention and
the Congress and Senate district conventions n
the election of delegates TO the Assembly district
conventions the unit Of representation viii be tbs
election district.
The ratio OF representation was fixed n each
case. In order to make the election OF delegates
10 the State Convention as representative Of
the voters as possible the district conventions
when are to select the delegates will be large.
For the district conventions the ratio OF repre-
sentation Will 3e delegate for every hfy
votes cast in district for Governor Roosevelt
two years ago
For the district conventions to nominate Con
gressmen, State Senators and Assembly uen, the
ratio of representation Will he one delegate for
every hundred votes for Roosevelt
For the Republican County Convention the
ratio Will be one delegate for every five hun
bred votes for Roosevelt.
Members Of the County Committee elected
according to a ratio obtained by dividing the
number Of Republican votes in the county ~
the number Of committeeman 10 be elected
The meeting yesterday decided upon many
places to be recommended to the Police COTIns-
sionerS as suitable places to be selected as poll
ing places.
