The republican state committee today
decided to apportion delegates on the
basis Of the average vote cast for the
eleven candidates for state office in
1904. Each county is allowed five dele
gates at large and one delegate for
every $50 votes or major fraction,
figured on the average plan. This will
give a convention Of 1000 delegates,
smaller by 8S than the convention two
years ago, which was based on the Nc
Kinley vote of 1900. g ),
The loss will fall mainly on the south
ern counties. The First, Second and
Third districts will lose 81 delegates,
the Fourth and Fifth districts, contain
ing the twin cities, will lose %, and the
four central and northern districts will
actually gain one delegate.
The representation by counties in the
convention this wear will be as follows:

SOME new DEPARTURES IN
LEvIATHAN SHIPS
Navy Proposes Radical Change in Many
Things in the Construction of the Great
10000 Ton Battleship.

Washington, D. c., July THE de-
sign of the new type of battleship
embodies what is known to be many
of the ideas entertained by officers
who have studied the construction of
battieships, and who have come to
the conclusion that thee ought to be
a big gun ship with only two types of
guns on board. one being the twelve
inch for the offensive, the other being
the small guns for torpedo defense.
This marks departure in the com.
position of the armament OF a battle.
ship and does violence to a treasured
and highly respected tradition of naval
ordnance.
But the most modern battleship
will probably have no intermediate
guns of eight and six inch between
the big guns and the torpedo boat
defense battery. 1t becomes at once
of course, an interesting question
what snail constitute the torpedo de
fense part of the ships armament. II
appears that naval expert view on the
subject is practically unanimous in
expressing the opinion that the tor
pedo defense guns should not be less
than three inches in oaliber, mainly
for the reason that II has been demon
strated that first class torpedo boat
destroyer can not be stopped by six
Founders, three-pounders and other
guns of that class. Recent expert
ments which have been made, indicate
that the three-inch projectile is toe
small to be certain of stopping the
first class destroyer. and as result
of this investigation probably the
British government has decided, it is
reported, upon eighteen-pounders as
the caliber for all torpedo defense
guns.
The Importance of the size of these
guns may be appreciated from the
fact that even a four inca gun will noI
stop "a destroyer attacking head on

pedo defense guns of the future were
a, least four incnes in caliber.
A notable feature of the next bat.
tleShip is the great increase in the
height OF the gun positions. 1t is now
generally recognized that large shin
of 10000 tons displacement could not
use her guns in a seaway unless they
are well out of water. While the de
