REPUBLICANS PLAN
TO UNITE FACTIONS
Resolution in Favor and Against Spec
iaI Convention Are Considered
by National Committee.


Washington, d. c., Dec. 1.-two pro-
pOsals for reorganization Of the Re
publican party, and methods of fixing
a basis upon which discordant elements
can unite, confronted the Republican
national committee today.
Foremost was proposal for spec
ial national convention for a read
juStment of the delegate representa-
ton. The other was that no conven-
/ ton be called, but that the national
committee fix a plan or reapportion-
ment for ratification by Republican
A resolution for a special conven-
ton was prepared by a special com
mittee, which also framed another
resolution in accordance with a com
promise suggestion by Charles B. War
rem, of Michigan, chairman of the COM
mittee, proposing that after the ma
tiOnal committee fixes a basis of re-
two-thirds of the states which cast
Republican pluralities for president In
1903
on the special committee drafting
Warren, of Michigan; Borah, of Idaho;
Hadley, Of Missouri, who also holds a
proxy from Louisiana; Smoots Of Titan,
and Howell, of Nebraska.
Both resolutions, providing recognl-
ton of the primary laws OF the various
states, were finally presented TO the
committee. Chairman Warren moved
the adoption of the resolution propos-
ing nat1onal convention ana the uS-
bate began Ormsby McHarg, who rep
resented the Roosevelt forces in the
contests preceding the Chicago con-
vention last year, opposed the special
convention.
Senator Cummins who was admitted
to the conference with representative
Woods of Iowa, by Especial resolu-
ton appealed for national conven-
ton
While he did not discourage the al
referring q
reorganization plan to the states, he
believed that such a plan would not
impress the public generally as strong
" as would a convention.
