VAUGHAN CALLS CLANS
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION TO
MEET SEPTEMBER 16.
Various Counties Representation
Will Be Based Upon the Vote
Cast for President Mckinley
in the Last Election.

Birmingham, Aug. 13,-(Special 1.-The
official call for the Republican State con-
vention. at which a full State ticket will
be put out. was issued today by Chair
man William Vaughan, of the State Re
publican Executive Committee. The call
sets forth the rules governing the con-
duct of the beat meetings, at which dele
gates are to be elected. as we'll as the
representation to which each county is
entitled. This feature of the call Is es-
peciaIly interesting. as it shows the
change which has been wrought by bas-
ing the representation upon the vote cast
for Mckinley in the last general election.
Dallas. the great black belt county, with
its vast negro population. will have but
one delegate in the convention, and this
is illustrative of the condition Of other
counties which had heavy representation
under the old plan.
