New York, May S.-The republican
national committee will meet in Chi
cago June 6, to decide contests among
delegates to the republican national
convention.
The call for the meeting was is
sued by William Hayward, the secre-
tary of the committee. This will be
the earliest meeting held by the COM
mittee for many years and will give
ii twelve days to consider contests be-
fore the convention opens on June
1S. Indications are that there will
be an unusual number of contests
this year. Mr.. Hayward said. This
has been considered by Victor Rose
water, acting chairman, and himself
in sending out the early call. A few
contests already have been brought
officially before the committee and
many more are expected before the
expiration of the time limit of filing
notice of contests, May 29.
Mr. Hayward also announced that
he would place before the committee a
plan upon which he has been work.
ing for some time that Will affect the
representation of the south in the ma
tional conventions. The principal OBJ
jections to plans previously suggested,
he said, was the elimination of the
congressional district as the unit of
representation. He said his plan
would change the basis of representa-
ton and still retain the congressional
district as the unit
What we want to do if possible, -
Mr.. Hayward said, lis to get the com
mittee together early enough to have
sufficient time TO consider these con-
tests deliberately and avoid holding
night sessions which were necessary
before. The sessions probably will be
executive. as heretofore and the con-
tests all will be considered by the en-
tire committee. We have received
some notices of contests, but nowhere
Eear as many as reported by the news
papers. Also we have not received
anywhere near all the credentials from
the various delegations in districts
where there are no contests.
The question of southern repre-
sentation that has been agitated in
every convention that 1 can remem-
ber," Mr.. Hayward said, "will proba-
bly, be acted upon by the committee
in the nature OF recommendation
to the convention. The southern dis
tricts have representation in congress
according to population including the
negroes. Then the negroes are dis
franchised. The natural result Is
that in many of the southern districts
there are very few republican votes
and yet. of course, they have the dele

POSTAL BANKS LEAD
TO STRICTER ECONOMY

Kansas City, May S.--The opening
of the postal savings bank In the opin-
ion of Postmaster Atkins, of st. Louis,
who addressed the southwest postal
association convention today is hav-
ing a decided tendency toward check
ing the national extravaganza from
which this country is suffering. Mr..
Atkins believes this will ultimately be
brought about from the fact that the
deposits in the postal banks and the
consequent conversion into govern
ment bonds by the small depositor will
give him control of the bounded debt.
Postmasters said they received many
complaints because no deposit could
be started in the name Of child un-
der 10 years of age.
