Cummns expects to offer a proposal that the national conventions of po- litical parties make the basis of repre- sentation therein the party vote of a state instead of population.
 "The combination of party candi- dates for president and vice-president at primary elections, just as nomina- ticns now are made for state and county offices, at primaries, is a nat ural step in the movement in which progressive Republicans lead" said Senator Cummins.
 Senator Cummins gives as one req son why such legislation should be en- acted the fact that the nomination for president and vice-president may be decided, and have been decided, by the votes of delegates from states which cast practically no votes for the party ticket and never elect the party electoral ticket.
 He declares this is absurd, indefen- sible, and unfair to the voters who do elect the candidates for the party.

TWO GEORGiANS DEFEATED
Livingston and Howard Go Down Under Charge of Deserting
 Democrats.


 Atlanta Ga, Aug. 26.-"Cannonism played an important part at the State Democratic primaries and brought about the defeat of Leonidas F. Liv- ingston and William M. Howard, in point of service the oldest members of the Georgia delegation in the Ma t;onal House of Representatives
 In the Fifth District William Schley Howard, a young attorney, won a de- cisive victory over Livingston.
 In the Eighth District the returns show convention majority of four votes for s. J. Tribble, and Congress- nan Howard filed notice of contest of the election. He charges irregulari- ties at two precincts in Ebert County, which gave Tribble a majority of four votes.
 The other nine members of Georgia S delegation in congress are assured of renomination.
 The fight against Livingston and Howard was in each case based upon the representatives alleged desertioh of the Democratic party, when it was sought last December to change the so-called Cannon rules of the House.
