 The principal contest of the day was over the tarih declaration and dealt with the definition of the measure Of protection. One of the blanks pre- scented reiterated the contention of 1908 that the protection should be eauiva- lent to the difference between the cost of production in the United States and abroad while another undertook to substitute for thls declara ton that the protection should be sufficient to main- tain the standard of living prevailing among the laboring people of the United States.

 The Roosevelt members of the com mittee did not oppose these. They will, however, introduce a minority report to the convention, insisting on a re- duction of southern representation in the convention and upon the right of the various states to dictate the meth t cd and manner under which their rep resen1attves on the national committee shall be elected In other respects the rules that governed the republican convention of four years ago were adopted, 22 to 6.

The committee then is empowered to name his successor. In the past the success sorship was dictated by the state cen tFaI committee of the state affected, The rules committee, however, held that this would give to a state the opportunity to name to the vacancy a man holding precisely the same views as the member depesed, Therefore it was decided that the power of ap- poiHtment should be delegated solely te the ees1Aittee itself.
