ISSUE
AGAIN BROUGHT FORWARD
Views of Party Leaders in
Other States Agree With
Contention Here

The question Of proportionate represen-
tation In Republican State Conventions
and en- the Republican State Committee.
which has been brought forward recently
by leading members Of the party. is
again being agltated. A prominent Re
publican. of this city. hns corresponded
with leaders in other States with the re-
suit that the contention of Wilmington
Republicans is upheld.
The correspondence shows that dele
gate representation IN New York, Penn
syivania, Ohio. Michigan. New Jersey
and Illinois Is based either on the propor-
tion of votes cast at the preceding Presi-
Dental Gubernatorial election. or on the
Republican vote cast at the preceding
election.
AS htc leaders OF the party here arc
IN favor of having the delegates to con-
ventions apportioned according TO the
Republican vote cast ia 1904 the infor-
nation shows that this method for fixing
the number Of delegates in proportion TO
the Republican vote or the total vote Is
followed IN many states.
Lettchs were received on the subject
from Congressman James s. sherman, OF
Utica, n r.; Hon. Lemuel +. Qugg, OF
New York city; Chairman Frank C
Briggs. of New Jersey; Chairman w
r. Andrews, Of Pennsylvania; T. s. Sen
ator Dick. OF Ohio: National Committee
man Frank O. Lowdcn. OF Illinois; Hon
Seward L. Merriam of Detroit, Mich.
Hon. Joseph w Babcock. OF Neecelah
Wisconsin; William r.. Stone. Of Balti-
more, Md, and others.
1t is maintained in many quarters, how
ever that the immediate election Of a
United states Senator 10 an the existing
vacancy Is of greater moment, just at
this time. than the matter of proportion
ate representation.
