Each State is to be entitled TO -four
delegates t-large, with two addition
al delegates at-large for each Repre-
sentative at large in Congress and
one delegate from each Congressional
district
An additional delegate is provided
for each Congressional district in
which the vote for any Republican
elector I'm 1908, or for any Republican
nominee for Congress in 1914, shall
have been not less than 1900.
States Must Approve.
The committee provides that its
suggested basis of representation
shall not go into effect unless it is
approved, prior to January l, 1915,
by State Republican conventions in
such number of States as are entitled
TO cast a majority Of the votes in the
present electoral college"
Under the old system Of represen-
tation the Southern and Territorial
representation was approximately S5
per cent of the convention, yet they
gave a very small percentage of the
electoral vote. This gave the party
bosses and the Republican admins
tration, IL the party we're in power,
an apparent advantage over any con-
testant, as was emphasized by the
routing of the Roosevelt delegations
at the Chicago convention in 1872.
Under the new system, as suggest
ed, the representation from the South
and the Territories will be 16 per cent
of the whole.
