CONVENTION LAWS NOT LIKED

Washington, Feb. 20.--The prospect
for Republican national convention
next fall to revise the rules governing
the selection Of national delegates
and to change the basis OF southern
representation at regular Republican
conventions has heen strengthened
through expressions favorirg the pro-
posed national gathering by Senator
Root of New York and Senator Crane
Of Massachusetts,
Basis Of Demand.
Demand for a Republican conven-
ton has been based on the desire to
make such changes that. states will
have the opportunity to select their
delegates through primaries or other:
wise, and to cut down the number Of
delegates from states having light
Republican vote.
II am in favor Of holding a Re.
publican convention at some conven.
tent time next fall or winter" said
Senator Root. who was chairman Of
the Chicago convention last June, for
the purpose of doing two things:
"First-To make representation in
national conventions proportionate to
the Republican vote-that is, correct
ing the disDroportion in what is spok.
en- Of as the southern representation.
"Second-To permit the Republi-
cans Of each state to elect delegates
tot national conventions in their own
way, so that the choice in each state
xu31 no
laws Of the state.
I'm order that these changes shalt
be effective in convention to nomi-
nate a president, they must be made
before that convention. and that can
be done only by a special convention.
The national enmmittee is still
bound by the old rules which we're
adopted by the convention Of 1890.
They will have to call tue next con.
vention just az they did the last one.
under these rules, unless a special
convention is called 10 make the
| changes which certainly ought to DO
made"
Senator Cranes Views.
Senator Crane Also Endorsed the CON
ivention plan.
IT am in favor Of holding Repuh.
'ican national convention for the pur.
pose of changing the basis Of repre-
sentation in proportion to the Re.
publican vote. and also to amend the
rules for the election Of delegates in
snch manner as may be deemed wise. "
Senator Crane said
History has shown that change
in the basis Of representation is not
| likely to be made at the nominating
convention. and this emphasizes the
necessity OF a specia1 convention"
No definite steps have been taken
toward issuing call for the conven.
ton. Exnressicns by members of va.
rions factions Of the party indicate
that efforts will be made TO hiring Re.
publicans from all states together
within the present year for the revi
sion plans.

At that time England was not much
Of a country and was conquered regu-
larry by every passerby. For many
years it had been infested with Danes.
The Danes were a crude, coarse folk,
Who licked their fingers when eating IN
stead of wiping them uaintily on their
robes; but they were great fighters and
had made it necessary Tor English kings
to sleep in trees for safety for several
reigns past. But Alfred, while he was
a scholar, was no dude Taking his
harp and his broadsword he led his army
forth and tackled the nearest flock of
Danes. For years he fought. Some
times he had the upper hand and some
times the Danes would wipe out his army
and make 1t necessary for him to reign
under an assumed name in the tall tim
Der for months at a time. But in the
end he booted the Danes out OF England,
and ruled In peace
Alfred did not 60 on and try to con-
quer the world when he had won this
war, but settled down and ruled with
great wisdom. He encouraged education
and Justice and made England so safe
that the eommonest man could get a
living without fear of being hanged for
it without due trial. For this reason he
was called Great. He died 1912 years
ago and no English king has yet sue
ceeded to his title.-(COpyrighted by
