Attacked by Bourne.

The basis used by the national com
mirtcc in determining delegates to the
national convention was attacked in a
statement tonight by Senator Jonathan
Bourne Jr.. president of the national
progressive Republican league. The pro-
gressive organization demands that dele
gates be apportioned on the basis of Re-
publican votes cast in the states; not on
the basis of congressional districts.
Such plan would greatly reduce the
number of delegates from southern states.
where the Republican vote is small.
Using the 1871. .f79 votes cast for Prcsi-
dent Taft AS basis and 1850 as the num-
Der OF delegates in the 1912 convention.
the progressive league estimates that
there should be n delegate TO the conv
tion for each 1855 Republican votes. That
would reduce Alabama to seven delegates.
Mississippi to five. South Carolina TO
four and other southern states proportion
ately. and would increase New York to
102. Pennsylvania TO eighty eight Illinois
TO seventy-five and Ohio 10 sixty nine.
