follows:
THE members of the republican ma

republican national convention. opposed
to the seating of any delegation repre-
senting any convention or other body
which has denied the right of voting and
representation to colored republican

OF order that the national committee is
not legislative body and that such a

DIR. Reyburn. therefore. feels con-
strained. although with reluctance. be-

The lilywhite members of the Louisiana
delegation have not cooled off yet, and
are threatening to take their troubles to
the credentials committee. However. it
is thought that when they come to look
into the nature of the arrangement made
yesterday they may abate their anger. AS
the game is framed up it is within the
power of the incoming national committee
to reorganize Louisiana politics to the ad-
vantage of the lily-whites If deemed ad-
Vlsable. The "black-andtans'' know this
however. and are watching to see that
their victory of yesterday shall not turn
out to be an empty one for the future and
designed only for present expediency.

branded under the pure politics law with
Ut. r." The reason for the change in
the Dolliver plan is assigned to the Iowa
folks themselves with an intricate tale of
local politics involved. Briefly stated. it
Is said the retirement of Senator Dol
liver from the Senate would open the way
for another outbreak by the Cummns
faction. with the proba bility that Gov
Cummins would go to the Senate. Neither
the present Iowa machine nor the lead
ers in the Senate want a running mate
in that body for Senator La Toilette.
The White House tip on the new
chairman of the national committee today
