section there are accommodations for
o2S and more than fifteen hundred ap-
plicattons have been received
The committee on arrangements re-
served 200 seats for the use of the
presidential candidates and their
friends. So far. fourteen presidential
candidates have, communicated with
Reynolds with requests for a total Of
200 seats. In several states including
Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky a
doubled delegation has been selected,
the question of whether the states
shall be limited to original allotment
to be decided.
The roll Of the convention provides
for seats for 991 delegates, 9S5 being
voting delegates, the remainder, two
each rom the Philippines, Port Rico
and Hawaii being entitled to seats but
| no vote.
