Cummins As Reorqanizer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-That The
plan he has proposed for calling a
national convention to rehabilitaie the
Republican party through revision Of
the rules which would cut down south
ern representation, and require the pri \
mary laws Of the state to be respected
in selection Of delegates to national
conventions, is making progress, was
asserted by Senator Cummins Of Iowa.
Cummins declared that a national
convention would be brought about and
that he believed it would be held BY
next September. The plan Of Cummins
was proposed early in this session of
congress, prior to the conference Of
Republican governors here. Then
Cummins was compelled to go to Iowa
and remain there owing to the Hines
and subsequent death Of his father.
This has prevented him from giving
the matter the attention he would have
otherwise given it,
"The question is the subject Of wide
correspondence among Republicans, :"
said the senator. II am convinced the
plan Of calling a convention is rapidly
gaining ground. Illinois Republicans
have endorsed it. | believe the nation
al committee will call convention and
that it will be held by next September"
