resolution during the afternoon for a re-
ductfon OF representation In congress of
states where the free exercise OF the cleo

the national convention. and not for the
committee. 1t Is understood that Mr..
Tiepke will ask the committee on resolu-
lions TO consider the wisdom OF incorpor-
ating the resolution In the convention
platform. A resolution looking to the re-
duction OF the representation of nonre-
publican states In Republican conventions
was also presented, but It was withdrawn
