OPPOSES PRESENT
VOTING SYSTEM
Rev. DR.. R. H. McKim Will
Urge Charge of Rep
resentalion.
VIRGINIA'S l6 VOTES.
Fractional System of Voting in
Smaller Dioceses Would Bring
About Equality.

Washington, Sept. 30.-I-ed by the
Rev. Dr. Randolph H. McKim, rector
of the Episcopal Church of the. Epip-
hany in Washington, a large number
of the clergy of that faith will make
determined effort to change the
present representation in the house
of deputies at the general Episcopal
Convention which will open in New
York, October Sth.
The Rev DR.. McKim is president
of the house Of deputies, and for a
long time has been identified with the
movement to adjust the representa-
tion therein as it now stands, on the
ground that diocesses with less than
5000 communicates now have the
same voting power as those with
more than $4,000 communicates. 9th
er prominent clergymen and laymen
oppose the present system as undem-
ocratic and un-American,and believe
they will be able to bring about a
change
Under our present system of repre-
resentation the two dioceseS of Nir-
ginia and Southern Virginia, with
1913 clergy and 3l,20S commandments,
have in the general convention six
teerf woes, while the six dioceses Of
Kansas City, Indianapolis, SPRING
field, Dallas, Delawtre, and Duluth,
with 1856 clergy and 24,29S communi-
carts have forty-eight votes said
the Rev. DR.. McK'm recently.
T.egislation adopted under these
circumstances may utterly fail to re-
feet the mind Of the church, and may
therefore fail to command the loyal
support Of the several dlocesseS.
Moreover, should any vital issue Of
Christian doctrine or ritual or eccle-
siastical policy, upon which the mlna
of the church was sharply dlvHed, ne
decided by technical majority of
votes which really represented
small minority of the communicates,
the peace and unity of the church
would be seriously imperiled.
"By agreeing upon certain num-
Der of clergymen in the diocese as
a unite, in vote By diocesses and or
ders, and BY adopting the fractional
system of voting in the smaller "io-
ceses, it will be possible to approx
innate equality of representation with
out reducing or increasing the pres
ent number Of deputies from the do
ceses.
