Herbert Corey, the writer, tells a
story Of an amateur pugilist, in a small
town out in Ohio who accepted the in.
vitation Of visiting professional to
meet all corners.
The local prodigy mounted the stage,
climbed through the ropes and gave his
name to the announcer. As the an.
nouncer was introducing him, the am
ateur tugged at his sleeve and whis-
pered something in his ear.

said the announcer, "that this is his
first appearance in any ring.o
He stepped back, and the two men
squared off. The professional ducked
wild swing, led with his right, and
knocked the amateur down with such
violence that he fairly spattered when
he hit the floor.
The master Of ceremonies stood over
the fallen one, counting him out. At
eight the dazed youth got upon his
knees. At nine he spoke in q husky
whisper to the announcer.

NATIONAL CONVENTION OF
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
Fine Article on Party Strength and
Convention Representation.

II the delegates to the republican
convention were based on party
strength, Indiana would have 4s dele
gates instead Of 80, and Texas would be
reduced from 40 to g. New York would
have 100 instead Of 90, and Missis.
sippi's convention strength would d.
minish from 20 stalwarts to but a sin.
gle lonesome delegate. Even by the
compromise plan Mississippi's conven-
ton strength would be only one-fourth
of what it is at the present time.
Even more striking are the facts
when we look at the number of voters
each delegate in the republican conven-
ton stands for. In Ohio each dele
gate to the national convention repre-
,ents 1900 republican votes, while a
delegate from South Carolina represents
220. In other words, 22O republicans
in South Carolina have as much voice
in nominating candidate for the high
Office of president as nearly $4,000 re-
publican voters in Ohio. Man for man,
the South Carolina republican has "a
times as much influence in the councils
OF his party-and through his party in
controlling the destinies of the nation
-as does the average republican in
Ohio. Similarly 21s Mississippi repub.
licans are equal to 1900 members of
that party in Michigan. And this, not
withstanding the fact that these south
ern states do not contribute single
electoral vote to the republican candi-
date at the final election in November
