Tho executive committee ~ the club had
reported in favor OF apportioning delegates
10 the Republican National Convention
among the different states according To the
number Of their Republican voters instead
OF as at present according to their repre-

voters. whether male or female. Wiriam

argued that woman suffrage did not change
"A states representation In the electoral coll
lege. and should not be allowed To double
It's strength in national convention
one man thought that while "A number OF
Republican husbands had Democratic
wives and number OF Democratic hus-
bands had Republican wives. and in this
way they offset each other" ii probably
was true that two states possessing an
equal number of male Republicans would
have also an equal number of female Re-
publicans. In this case. he contended. the
one enjoying the privileges OF woman suf-
fragc should not WELD twice the influence
the other welded in a national convention
He favored haIving the vote In the suf-

on what. then. can the Roosevelt sup
porters base the slightest hope of WIN

bilities-one, that Colonel Roosevelt can
come here and stampede the delegates
into voting for him. the other. that they
are counting on the limitless resources
at their command TO induce some of the
Southern delegates to change their
minds and disregard their instructions.
Ea- II of these disabilities has been
rendered more remote by the tactics
employed for Colonel Roosevelt By his
legal representative. Ormsby McHarg.
and by his political manager, Senator
Dixon. both of whom have so bitterly
denounced the national committee and
the delegates they are seating as to
alic" to them beyond hope Of recon

sued to-day by Francis J. Hcney. who,
although holding seat only by proxy,

gested TO him IAN Abe Reuf jury

Of the President do not believe that

ROOSEVELT WINS ONE DELEGATE
National Committee Settles All Other Kentucky
Disputes in MIR. Taft's Favor.

Chicago, June lin settling the con-
tested delegates cases from Kentucky the
Republican National Committee to-day for
the first time since the contests were taken
up, awarded one delegate TO Mr.. Roosevelt.
This was in the case of the Eleventh Ken
lucky District, where the Taft men ap-
peared as contestants and the committee
settled the dispute by seating one Taft
man and one Roosevelt man from the
district.
Before this district was reached the Com
mittee settled all the other Kentucky con
tests in favor OF the Taft delegates. This
gave to the President the four delegates
at-large and two each from the first. sec
ond. third, seventh. eighth and tenth dis
tricts. To-days work Of the committee,
therefore puts seventeen Of the contested
delegates in the Taft column and one
delegate in the Roosevelt column
The Roosevelt contestants for the places
Of delegates-at-large were only two In num-
Der. The Taft faction had named com
plete set of delegates, but the names of
4. G. ORear and Leslie Combs were all
that appeared on the roll as Roosevelt con-
testarts.
When the committee met telegram
from Senator W. o. Bradley at Washing
ton. one OF the contested Taft delegates.
was read by Secretary Hayward. Senator
Bradley declared that the Roosevelt contest
should not be considered by the committee
because the notice OF contest and the
Roosevelt credentials had not been filed
within the allotted time.
The committee decided that the contest
ants We're entitled to hearing, aud Orms-
by McHarg, who spoke for the Roosevelt
forces, said one argument would cover the
case OF the delegates-at-large and the dis
trct delegates from the Ist. I'd and ith
districts as the circumstances ia each case
were alike.

Mr.. Kellogg asked il the committee on
