AN. UNFAIR REPRESENTATION.

AN UNFAIR REPRESENTATION.
The lesson of the Chicago convention
is that hereafter representa- tion should
be based on the vote Of the party in the
several states instead Of congressional
apportionment. With the autonomy Of
the several states still preserved to
the extent Of several delegates at large
without reference to population. the
bulk Of tho representation should be ap-
pottionsd according to the party vote in
each state. Then South Carolina with
practically no republican votes (ouly
1000 in 1919 would not have double the
number Of delegates apportioned to
North Dakota with It's go, COO republican
voters.
In seven southern states. with q COM
bined total republican vote Of q little
over 10000, there was a total Of 140
delegates to the Chicago convention,
while New York which cast $40 900 votes
for Taft in 1908 had only sbout 50 dele
