H|LLES PICKS DEC. IS
FOR PARTY MEETING
Republican National Com
mittee to Discuss New
Representation Plan.

Washington, Oct. S.-The Republican
ington on December 16 to consider
plans to change the basis of repre-
sentation in national conventions.
Charles d. Hilles and James B. Reyn-
olds. chairman and secretary. respective
~, of the national committee, decided
on the date in New York yesterday
Formal announcement was made by
Secretary Reynolds last night
Officers of the committee resent re-
ports that the proposed national con-
vention TO be held by proclamation of
the national committee is desired for
the sole purpose of reducing Southern
representation. Southern leaders have
become aroused over such reports, and
determined efforts may be made to pre-
vent the special convention.
Upon the present basis of representa-
ton, New York with nearly half a mil
lion Republican voters. is entitled to
seat ninety delegates in national con-
publican voters, has twenty delegates.
In the national committee, however.
New York and Louisiana stand on an
equality. Each has one vote.
1t was pointed out here tonight that
the Southern States. the Territories
would lose numerical strength in Re-
publican conventions by the adoption
Of any plan of representation based up
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1913-10-10

on the actual vote cast, as is proposed,
have only to combine with few
Northern States to prevent the assemb-
ling of a special convention such as is
contemplated
There is a possibility that Southern
leaders combining with others may
prove strong enough TO prevent a spc-
cial convention. fearing that such a
gathering would be certain to do some
thing TO curtail the influence of the
South in the councils of the national
Organization.
Three Plans Are Suggested.
The Republican Congressional com
mittee has taken live interest in the
question of Southern representation
and has devised three plants. all of
which are intended to minimize the in
fuence of the South in national con-
vention. They may be briefly outlined
as follows:
Plan A-Four delegates at large for
each State and delegates for the sew
eral Congressional districts as follows:
For each of such districts In which the
vote cast for the Republican candidate
for Presidential electors in 1908 was
not more than 40 per cent. OF the total
vote cast for Presidential electors IN
such district in such election, one dele
gate; for each of such districts In
which such Republican vote was &C
per cent. but not more than so per
cent, two delegates: for each Of such
districts in which the Republican vote
was more than 60 per cent, three dele
gates.
| In any State where a reapportion-
ment act has not been passed to pro-
vide the full number of Congressional
districts such State shall be entitled te
delegates at large for each Representa-
tive at large in Congress at the above
ratio. comparing the full vote of tn.
State with the total Republican vote il
1.-THE State. In Arizona and New Mexico
the apportionment shall be based OF
the vote for Delegates in Congress.
Plan B-Four delegates at large TO
leach State, and in addition thereto on,
delegate for each 10000 votes or majo
Traction thereof cast for the Republi
lean candidate for Presidential elector
in 1905. Total delegates 955.
Plan C-Four delegates at large TO
each State and for each Congressiona
district one delegate for each 1000
votes or major fraction thereof cast 70
the Republican candidate for Presi
Dental electors in 1908. Total dele
gates. s55.
|. Plan C-Four delegates at large 70
each State and for each Congressions
district one delegate for each 1000
votes or major fraction thereof cast 70
| the Republican candidates for Presi
Dental electors in 1908. Provided tina
each Congressional district shall hav
at least one delegate and there sha
be two for each Congressman at Iarg,
| Total delegates. 1.1os.
III The present plan of representation
| based on population instead of on til
/ Republican vote. It provides that tn
| convention shall consist of four dele
! gates at large from each State and tw
| delegates al large for each Repre-
lsentative at large in the Congress an
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1913-10-10

two delegates from each Congressional
district. Conventions at present are
made up of 1,062 delegates.
The plans thus outlined will be pre-
sented for the consideration of the Re-
publican National Committee at the
meeting to be held on December 16.
Plan A, which is more generally
favored by Off :ers of the Republican
Congressional Committee, will reduce
the representation of eleven States,
Alabama. Arkansas. Florida. Georgia.
Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Vir-
sinia. On the other hand the repre-
sentation of such States as New York,
Ohio, Illinois and Pennsylvania would
be increased. New York's delegation
for example, would comprise 102 dele
gates instead of ninety, as at present.
Those who are responsible for the
movement to change the basis of rep
Presentation in Republican national con-
ventions are inspired by a desire to re-
duce the influence of the South. This
lis generally known. The movement
| has the support of so-called regulars
| as well Progressives. Progressives
believe that the Introduction of such a
reform would bring back to the fold
many party men who are now herding
with the Bull Moose.
Representative Frank Mondell of
| Wyoming, regular who served on
the credentials committee that seated
Taft delegates to the exclusion CT
Roosevelt delegates in the Republican
lconvention at Chicago last year, in
ldorses Plan A. In a statement Mr..
Mondell declared that there was justice
lin the demand to reduce Southern rep
