Chicago. June as-The adoption Of the
platform was the chief event Of ycster-
days session OF the Republican National
Convention.
This pronouncement Of party policies
carried some surprises. but 10 the main.
the deliverance followed the tlmc-honorcd
tenets Of the party.
ono OF the remarkable features concern
ing The adoption Of the platform was tho
fact that it has been the subject of ad-
ministrative scrutiny and national inter-
est for many weeks. and was accepted
without a dissenting vote.
In addition to the tariff plank and other
resolutions, which aiways have had a
prominent position in Republican piat-
forms. there were Incorporated several
causes Of striking interest one OF these
IS a plank looking to the reduction of the
representation Of certain Southern States
IN the Electoral College and ln Congress.
II is built upon what Is known as tho
Payne resolution offered eight years ago.
and the quay resolution Of four years ago.
but goes further than either. The plank
directs an Investigation to ascertain
whether there have been unconsttutiona.
acknowledgements Of voters In any State,
and also demands a reduction Of the rep
resentation Of such States In Congress,
with the consequent reduction in the Elec-
torhl College and IN National Conventions.
When Senator Lodge who read the plat
form TO the convention. reached this
plank which was surprisingly radical.
