Would Leave II to Convention.

II is the view Of some Of the Pro-
gressive Republican Senators that even
the national committee and the con-
vention itself need not 60 TO the extent
of revising the Republican platform. II.
they say the reforms in reorganization
can be carried out. the regular conven-
ton can be safely intrusted with the
task OF revising the platform. as it will
be wholly representative Of the people.
The ultra conservative or reactionary
wing Of the Republican party is oppos-
ing the move for convention joining
with the Southern members Of the COM
mttee, who are opposed To any move
which will reduce their power in con
ventions. These are, however, few.
They advance the argument that the
national committee is without authority
to call a convention. the last conven-
ton itself having acted on the other
hand, some OF the committeeman be-
lieve the national committee can make
the desired reforms without calling a
national convention.
Other objections are advanced to the
proposed reorganization, one being
that by displacing the Congress district
as the unit of representation it would
concentrate power in the big cities. 1t
is also urged that some distinction
should be drawn between states having
woman suffrage and those where the
! franchise is confined to men. Unless
this is done it Is argued. the suffrage
states would have an undue advantage.
Not Confined to Proaressives.
These objections. however. will not
| be opportune at to-morrows meeting
consider the question whether ma
tional convention shall be called. The
movement to this end is not confined
| to the Progressive leaders who met at
! Chicago. Senators Lodge, Root.
| Townsend and many others not ordi-
nariy classed as of the Progressive
! fold have been as urgent in their de-
mands for party reorganization as
| their Progressive colleagues.
| Senator Gallingcr. Of New Hamp-
shire. who smilingly admitted to-day
that he belonged to the "so-called reac-
tionsries." declared that when the TIME
| came for reorganization the Republi-
can party would reorganize itself.
Senator Smoot was OF the same mind,
and there are other party leaders in
and out Of Congress who will oppose
national convention this year.
There is no law 10 prevent the sug-
gestion of such a foolish thing as Sem
ator Cummins and his friends pro-
pose" said Senator Gallinger. "The
smoke of the last defeat has not yet
cleared away But ii is a fact that it
is clearing away and conditions in the
! party are rapidly improving without
any convention. There is nothing 10
