their torn dresses and the rips in the

This money had been sent from a bank
in Helena to a bank in Joplin, Mo. The
pouch was cut open.

than the first, was committed last Fri

Details of the tentative plans sug.
gested by the national republican con
gressional committee for changes In
the apportionment of delegates to the

The first plan provides that each
state have four delegates at large, and
for congressional districts one dele

for a republican presidential elector
in 1906 was not more than'40 per cent
of the total vote for presidential cleo
tors, two delegates If the vote was
from 40 to 60 per cent and three dele
gates where it is more than 60 per
cent
The second plan would give each
state four delegates at large and one
delegate for each 10000 votes or ma
jor fraction thereof cast for the repub-
lican candidates for presidential cleo.
tors in 1908.
The third plan is just the same as
the preceding, except that each con.
gressional district shall have at least
one delegate and there shall be two
for each congressman at large.

will meet in Washington on December
16, ito confer on party matters and to
