Republican Future.
From the Springfield Republican

From the Springfield Republican
The important thing touching the
Republican future is that the commit.
tee to man is ready to change the
basis of representation in future con-
ventions 80 that there shall be an escape
from the scandal of unrepresentative
delegations from southern states. Time
and again has there been demand in
national conventions for this reform,
but as frequently have the exigencies
of candidates for the presidency availed
to defeat action. Beth Roosevelt and
Taft. to go no further back, were as
sisted in securing their nominations by
southern delegates whose Republican
backing was slim and shady. 1t is
more than time that an element which
did not represent Republican votes
should be shorr Of power.
Whatever way may be adopted by
states in choosing their delegates is as
the final authority from their states to
be recognized in future conventions as
the final authority, and delegates pro.
perly accredited from their states will
have place on the temporary roll. This
means that the slowly accumulated
body of laws hitherto governing Re-
publican national conventions will give
way in order that modern conditions
may be fairly met. Ancient regula-
tions have been outgrown and will go
to the scrap heap.

Mr. President, with such record we

EVERY CITY AND TOWN INJURED
There is scarcely city or town in

Surely this amendment cannot be in

Opposition to it surely cannot voice the
wishes of an administration that has so
recently injected the new freedom in
to the affairs of government and plumes
itself upon its solicitude for the welfare
of the country; surely there should be
no opposition to simple declaration of
governmental policy that when there is
ample surplus 1t should be devoted to
the payment of the obligations of the
government, which, in my opinion, is
about the only way in which the credit
of the country, as represented in its
government bonds, can be maintained.
