REPUBLICANS MAY
HOLD CONVENTION
| LATE IN THE FALL
MOVEMENT ENDORSED BY UNIT
ED STATES SENATORS ROOT
AND CRANE.
DEAL With REPRESENTATION
Rules Of Selecting Delegates Need
Amending and This VIII Have to
Be Done BY Special Convention
II at All.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The
prospect for a republican national
convention next fall, to revise the
rules governing the selection of ma
tional delegates and to change the
basis of Southern representation at
regular republican conventions, was
strengthened today through express
sions favoring the proposed national
gathering by Senator Root, of New
York, and Senator Crane, of Massa.
chusetts.
Demand for a republican conven-
ton has been based on 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.
Il am in favor of holding repub-
lican convention at some convenient
time next fall or winter" said Sena-
tor Root, who was chairman of the
Chicago convention last June, for
the purpose of doing two things
'First-To make representation in
the national convention proportional
to the republican vote-that is, cor
recting the disproportion in what is
spoken of as the Southern represen,
tation.
"Second-To permit the republi-
cans of each state to select delegates
to national conventions in their own
way, so that the choice in each state
will be regulated according to the
laws of the state.
In order that these changes shall
be effective in a convention to nomi-
nate a president, they must be made
before that convention, and that can
be done only by special convention.
The national committee is bound by
the old rules that were adopted by
the convention of 1880. They will
have to call the next convention lust
as they did the last one, under these
rules, unless special convention is
called to make the changes, which
certainly ought to be made.
Senator Crane also indorsed the
convention plan:
Il am in favor of holding repub-
lican national convention for the pur-
pose of changing the basis of repre-
sentation in proportion to the repub-
lican vote, and also to amend the
rules for the election of delegates, in
such manner as may be deemed
wise," Senator Crane said. History
has shown that a change in the basis
Of representation is not likely 20 be
made at nominating convention,
and this emphasizes the necessity of
a special convention"
No definite steps have yet been tax
en- toward issuing call for the con-
ention. Expressions by members of
arious factions of the party indicate
hat efforts will be made to bring re-
publicans from all states together
within the present year for the revi.
sion plan.

Superintendent Graham was at his

At one school he found the attend

there had been an epidemic of meas

some typhoid fever in the communi

Prof. Graham will continue the in.

BAPTIST CHURCH IS
CROWDED TO UTMOST
ON SUNDAY NIGHT
REV. /. T. HASTINGS DELIVERS
FAREWELL SERMON TO A
LARGE CONGREGATION.
RECEPTION AFTER BEkEDICTION
Revs. Haqgard and Brkett Make
Short Talks Speaking Of the High
Character Of the Baptist Minister
Leaving.

Rev. L. 7. Hastings closed his pas
torate at the First Baptist church
Sunday night in specially strong
sermon OF the truly eyangelisic
type. The thought was that the indi-
vidual who had not given heart and
soul to Christ was dead in sin, no
matter how moral life had been
lived.
With Jairus' daughter, the son of
the Widow of Main, and Lazarus, the
only three recorded instances of the
work of the Savior in raising from
the dead, he drew very strong les
son, in youth, at maturity and a. the
more advanced age.
There was not vacant seat il the
church, the congregation from the
First Presbyterian. U. S. A., and from
the First Methodist joining the Bap-
fist congregation, while the pastors
of these two churches were seated
with Rev. Hastings. At the close Of
his sermon DR., Haggard spoke few
words regarding the early departure
of the Baptist minister for his new
work in the west, in which he told
of the esteem in which he held the
young minister, and how much he
and others of the city regretted to
see him leave Columbia, and Rev.
Birkett followed with a similar state
ment.
After the benediction the congre-
cation gathered around Rev. Hast
ings to say kind word of farewell to
him, and this continued for some
time
Rev. Hastings leaves today for
Jackson, thence on to Chickasha, Ok
lahoma, at which latter place he is to
be married to Miss Cora Brownlow on
Thursday of next week. On Sunday
he will begin his evangelical work at
the church at Chickasha.
It is doubtful if any man ever made
SO many and such devoted friends in
such a short time in Columbia.
