REPUBLICAN PARTY
WILL BE REVAMPED
Consideration of Radical Changes in
Methods Now Before the
National Committee

Washington, Dec. 1S.-After five
hours of debate the Republican Ma
t;onal Committee determined yester-
day that it was closed with ample
power TO readjusc the compensation
CT the party's national conventions
in convention rules and procedure
that have been demanded by many
elements since the convention OF
1912 and the democratic victory al
the polls last November.
With little bitterness. and no
tangible evidence that differences
which arose over methods could not
be reconciled, the committee took
steps which have been agitated IN
the party for thirty years and which
have been vital factors in many ex-
citing conventions in its latter day
history
Without a dissenting vote the
committee decided TO make a change
in the basis OF representation in ma
t'onal conventions, which will great
~ affect Southern states; gave full
recognition 10 the principle OF the
primary IN the election of delegates
TO such conventions; approved laws
regarding such elections adopted By
several states, which provide that all
delegates be selected at large. and
accepted the principle that delegates
properly accredited by state authori-
ties shall be placed on the temporary
convention roll.
Southern States VIII be Shy
Under the plan offered by Com
mitteeman Warren OF Michigan. na-
tional conventions would be reduce
by. seventy delegates. The following
states would lose these number of
delegates:
Alabama 6; Florida ?; Georgia 6;
Louisiana :; Mississippi 8; North
Carolina . Oklahoma 1; South Car
olina Z; Tennessee 4 {; Texas IA; Vir-
ginia ;. Total loss for the South, 60.
Illinois 2; Kentucky /; New Jer-
sey /; New York 4. Total loss for
the North s.
A plan for additional delegates
where the republican vote was more
than forty per cent. Of the total was
rejected because under it the North
would lose more than the South. Tn.
der it New York, representation
would be cut by s and Ohio's by 5
