The question OF Southern represen-

Hayward said. will probably be acted
upon by the committee In the nature
of recomme ndation to the convention.
While In my opinion majority of the
delegates to the conventions has been
heartily in favor of making 4 change
In that regard. the difficulty has bee
that II did not desire 10 abandon the
congressional district as a unit of rep
resentatlon. The Southern district:
have representation In Congress &C
cording to population. including the
negroes. Then the negroes are dis
franchised. The natural result is that
in many of the Southern districts th;re
are very few Republican voters, and
yet, of course. they have the delegates.
Now 1 am working on a. plan that am
going to submit to the cominitte. which
Will change the basis of representation
and still retain the congressional dis
trict as the unit"
Mr. Hayward added that he preferred
not to make public the plan until it
was submitted to the committee.

Wants to Know His Position az to
Massachusetts Delegates.


Massachusetts Delegates.
Washington. May s.-The Roosevelt
headquarters tonight gave out copies
of n letter to President Taft by Mat
thew Hale, OF Boston. chairman of the
Massachusetts Roosevelt committee as
follows:
Boston, Mass, May s, 1912.
SDear MT. President:
1T is with extreme regret that l
feel Obliged to bother you again with
matters pertaining to Massachusetts.
As YOU probably know. the returns in
dictate that you carried massachusetts,
on the preference vote last Tuesday
by a small margin. Immediately upon
receiving this Information Colonel
Roosevelt Issued public statement
stating that in his opinion the spirit
of the massachusetts Law demand I'd
that the Roosevelt delegates at large.
although pledged to his support. should
abide by the choice of the people who
elected them and cast their votes for
you in the National Convention. Our
Roosevelt state Committee has pub
Mcly declared that it is in sympathy
with Colonel Roosevelt's position, ami
the Boston Journal. our only Roosc-
welt paper. places our eight delegates
at large in Your column.
1T now appears that the voters or
tn, Eighth and Tenth Congressional
Districts expressed 81 preference Tor
Colonel Roosevelt. while electing dele
gates pledged to YOU. On May :?
wrote to General Edgar r. Champlin.
manager OF your campaign In this
State. asking him as your representa-
tive 10 make clear his position and
yours on the duties of the delegates
elected in these two districts.
by this mornings papers see that
William Il. Mckinley, manager OF your
national campaign. is claiming four
delegates in Maryland on the ground
that the voters OF two OF the Maryland
districts appear TO have expressed their
preference for YOU. I feel that the
peopl. OF Massachusetts have a right
to know whether your forces III this
state are going TO respect the spirit OF
the new law or whether your managers
are solicitous OF the wishes of the vot-
ers only in those districts where tne
voters express a preference for you.
Il have not Yet received an answer
from General Champlin, and the Mas
sachusetts papers continue to CLAIM,
these districts delegates for you.
am therefore writing directly TO you
Very respectfully yours,
(SignedD "ATATTHEW HALE
