Basis for Delegates.
The basis Of delegates for the repub-
lican convention is: -Four at large In
each state and two for each con-
gressionaI district The large gains In
the state delegations VIII be: New York,
-; Pennsylvania, s. Oklahoma and Call
fornia, each; Illinois, Massachusetts,
New Jersey. Texas Washington, 4 each.
other states either Will gain two each
or retain the apportlonment OF the 1908
Chicago convention.
The basis used by the national com
mittee on distributing delegates TO the
national convention among the states
was attacked in a statement tonight by
Senator Jonathan Bourne, jr., president
OF tho National Progressive Republican
league. The progressive organization de-
mauds that delegates he apportloned on
the basis OF republican votes cast in the
states; not on the basis OF the number
OF congressional districts
Such plan would greatly reduce the
number OF delegates from southern states
where republican vote Is small. Using
the 7.677,479 votes cast for President Taft
az a basis and 1850 as the number Of
delegates in the 1912 convention, the Pro-
gressive league estimates that there
would be "A delegate TO the convention for
each S.s65 republican votes. That would
reduce Alabama to seven delegates; Mis-
sissipp TO five, South Carolina TO four
and other southern states proportlonately
and would increase New Yorks delega-
ton To lO2, Pennsylvania TO eighty -eight,
