Resolution Offered in National
Committee to Seat Delegates
Elected at Primaries

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-THE re-
publican national committee met
again today to conclude the reform
measures it has undertaken to clear
its convention machinery of certain
features and to reduce representations
in national conventions from southern
states and congressional districts
which are regarded as hopelessly
democratic.
The subcommittee presented a
unanimous report for a modification
of the party's rules providing for the
recognition of state primary laws.
the acceptance of the right of state
to choose all or parts of its delegates
at large to national conventions, and
agreed that in future conventions
delegates presenting certificates from
proper state authorities should be
placed on the temporary convention
roll. The latter feature promises to
do away with troubles which have
arisen at previous national conven-
tions over contests and deprives the
national committee of arbitrary power
to seat delegates.
The subcommittee report on pri-
mary and procedure provides that the
committee. when ii issues the call
for the national convention in 1916.
shall provide that in any state
which shall have provided by law for
the election of such delegates to ma
tional conventions at direct prima-
ries, such delegates from that state
shall be elected In conformity with
such laws.
That all delegates from any state
may be chosen from the state at
large, or part from the state at
large and part from congressional
districts, in conformity with the laws
of the state. That delegates pre-
senting certificates of election from
officers designated by state law to
national conventions of political par
ties shall be placed on the temporary
roll by the national committee.
PLAN Is ADOPTED
The plan of the subcommittee to
recognize primary law and change
the rules governing conventions was
adopted by unanimous vote. On a
point raised by Committeeman Chubb
of Florida 1t was announced that
the resolution would be changed SO
that in states where 1t is optional
whether a party shall hold primaries
for the election OF delegates they
shall be seleced in the old manner,
and the primary plan shall be OBJ
served only in states where the law
provides for such action
