REPRESENTATION IS CHANGED
REDUCTION IN SOUTHERN
STATES VOTE VILE FOLLOW.
States Must Ratify Action Before II
Becomes the Law of
the Party.

Washington, Dec. 19.-By adopting
a resolution providing for a radical
change in the basis of representation
on the national nominating commit.
tees which would reduce the quota
of southern states from 33 to 16 per
cent of the conventions total vote, the
Republican national committee con-
cluded its work for the reform in party
procedure and launched it's campaign
for a reunion of warning elements.
The action of the committee, crit.
icized in vigorous terms by several of
it's members, but made unanimous be.
fore adjournment, must be endorsed
by states entitled to cast a majority
of votes in the electoral college be.
fore it becomes a party law.
In order that such action shall be
promptly taken the committee appoint
Ell a subcommittee Of three, consist.
ing of Charles B. Warren of Michi,
gan; Senator Borah of Idaho, and Gov.
crnor Hatfield of West Virginia, tc
prepare an address to the states urg.
ing immediate ratification of the pro.
rosal. This address will be drawn
up shortly before the holidays and
leading members of the committee ex
pressed the hope that it would meet
early action.
Approval by the states will insure a
call from the national committee for
the national convention of 1916 along
the lines just laid down.
The reorganization plan adopted
came as a compromise which reflected
the views of many committeeman that
southern representation should be re.
duced but not brought to the vanish
ing point.
The new basis Of representation
shall not be made the basis for the
call of the national convention to be
held in the year 1916. unless prior tc
January /, 1915, Republican state con.
ventions held under the laws of the
states or called by the Republican
states committees of the states in such
number of states as are entitled to
cast a majority of the votes in the
present electoral college, shall ratify
the action of this committee in re.
spect to determining this basis of rep.
resentation.

General Salvador Mercado, comman-
der-in-chief Of the federal army of
the North, made this assertion in his
camp here. He said Ojinaga will be
evacuated and the federal army under
his command would march toward Chi
huahua.
The commanders statement was

rebel forces in Chihuahua, the most
important city in the north, are too
strongly entrenched to invite an at
tack by the federals.

Company Originates Plan.
The reorganization plan originated
with the company, although it follow
ed many reports that a suit against it
might be filed. 1t was regarded by
department Of justice officials last
night as the most striking indication
offered in a decade that big business
had come to the conclusion that IL was
better to follow the Sherman law than
to fight It.
The plan met not only the approval
OF the attorney general and his ''cilief
trust buster" G. c, Todd, and officials
of the subsidiaries of the combine, but
was heartily approved by. President
Wilson. In a letter. to Mr.. McReynolds
the president expressed his admiration
for the attitude of the telephone com.
pany and his conviction that such con.
duct on the part of business men
meant a building up of business on
sound and permanent lines.
Announcement Significant.
Coming on the heels of the an.
n~ouncement that Postmaster General
Burleson is seriously interested in gov
eminent ownership Of telephone lines,
the action of the department of JUS
tice took an added significance and
some officials went so far as to ex-
press the opinion that 1t indicated that
legislation to acquire the country's
telephone business would not be
pressed by the administration at the
present session.
In brief, the agreement provides
that:
The American Telephone G Tele.
graph company will dispose promptly
of its holdings in the Western Union
Telegraph company, so that each con-
cern shall be under distinct
ment, and so that all shall be entirely
Independent. The company will not
hereafter acquire control of other tele-
phone companies and where control
OF telephone companies has been ac-
CURED, but no actual physical union
has been effected. the American Tele.
phone & Telegraph will submit the
course it is to pursue to the interstate
commerce commission and to the de
partment of justice.
Access to Toll Lines.
The company will promptly make
Arrangements by which all other tele-
phone companies In the United States
shall have access to it's toll lines.
Department officials declared that
the plan gave the government every
thing and more than II could have
hoped. to obtain in court. Officials
were more than pleased with the last
part OF the agreement, by which the
Bell company gives long distance ser.
vice to subscribers of other companies
and did not deny that they never had
hoped to gain such a point by suit un.
der the antitrust act.
The announcement of the agreement
FOR reorganization came last night at
the conclusion of several months of
negotiation in which the attorney gen.
eral and Mr.. Todd and Mr.. Kingsbury.
Theodore N. Vail, president of the
American Telephone and Telegraph.
and other parties on both sides con.
ferred.
