THE NATIONAL CAMPAIGN
Republican Committeeman Gathering
at Capital for Conference.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Republican
national committeeman are arriving in
Washington, for the quadriennial meet
ing which will open, Friday, at the
Arlington. With this vanguard of the
men who decide the date and location
of the next national committee comes
the convention boomers. Some of them
are already on the ground, comforta-
bly located III headquarters and pre-
pared through the proper committees
to talk eloluence in favor of their re-
spective cities.
The question of representation in the
next convention as expressed in cir
cufar letters sent out by Gen. Brayton
of Rhode Island, is a topic of no little
interest to the committeeman. Most of
the committeeman who have arrived
agree they have no authority what the
basis of representation shall be in the
call to be issued for the convention.
The most the committee can do they
say, is to pass a resolution recon-
mendng that 81 basis which will re-
duce the number of delegates from the
South be adopted.
This view of the situation in consid-
cradle part is shared by Postmaster
| General Payne, member of the COM
mittee from Wisconsin, and Vice Chair
man both of the national committee and
of the executive committee. Mr. Payne
| is the father of the idea for reduced
representation and urged it stoutly at
the Philadelphia convention.
Il still favor my plan, and believe it
| ought to be adopted" said Mr.. Payne,
tonight, "but 1 am aware that it is a
matter which the convention must
pass upon. The committee may dis
cuss at the approaching meeting if
Mr.. Hanna choose to rule it in order
but the committee as l understand it
| cannot take any decisive action"
The talk about the date for the con-
vention seems in favor of Chicago, as
the convention city increases so that
among the delegates now here it is
regarded as . foregone conclusion that
| that city will be selected.
