TENNESSEE COUNTED A
REPUBLICAN, STATE

The Republican representation
from Tennessee to the next national
convention Of the G. 0. P. is TO be %
delegates, as against 20 in the last
convention, the state being allowed
two additional delegates Sas reward
for going Republican in November
under the new representation plan
to be adopted by the Republican
national committees
The change in representation, based
on the Republican votes of the last
election, reduces by 20 the number
Of delegates who were accredited
from the Southern States to the
Chicago convention last June. This
represents cut of II per cent. and
makes total cut of 40 per cent. in
the number of delegates from those
states since the 1912 convention.
Under the new plan of apportion-
ment, the next national Convention
will be made up of 1,037 delegates
So more than the last, unless there
are great changes in the state votes
Of last fall, upon which the calcula-
ton was made.
The old system allowed for one
delegate from each congressional
district, but under the new plan, q
district must have cast $500 Repub-
lican votes in the last preceding cleo
ton before it may send a delegate
to the convention. To have two dis
trict delegates there must have been
cast 10000 Republican votes, or a
Republican representative must have
been elected to congress. Under the
former plan $500 votes gave two
delegates.
Provision is also made in the new
plan for the seating Of two additional
MISUNDERSTANDING from each state
carried at the last preceding election
by the Republicans.

PRESIDENT HARDING
URGES ARMY TRAINING

President Harding urges every
young man who can possibly arrange
to do so to attend citizens MILF
tary training camp to be conducted
by the war department this summer.
In a statement made public Monday
he expressed the hope that during
his administration arrangements will
be completed for giving military
training to at least 100000 young
men each year. The text of the
statement said:
Il hope every young man who can
arrange 1t will attend one of the
citizens military training camps to
be conducted this summer by the war
department in each Of the nine army
corps areas.
.In this way he will increase his
worth to the nation and obtain indi-
viduaT benefits of priceless value to
himself and to the community in
which he lives.
II hope to see established during
my administration comprehensive
system of voluntary military train
ing for at least 100000 men each
year. Every young man who is Will
ing to prepare himself for the de-
tense Of his country should be given
an opportunity to do so.
sour present national defense law
established an economical and demo-
cratic military policy thoroughly
consistent with our national tradi-
tions. It provides for small regu-
lar army to be augmented by great
citizen forces in the event of national
emergency. This is our traditional
military policy. But whereas in the
past these larger war forces have
been extemporized after the occur
renee Of an emergency, the new law
wisely provides that the framework
Of their organization shall be es-
tablished and developed in time Of
peace insofar as this is practicable
through the voluntary service Of our
patriotic YOUNG men. The army OF
the United States as defined In the
new law, comprises the regular army,
the national guard and the organized
reserves. Every patriotic citizen
should encourage the development Of
these forces, each within its proper
sphere"

alton of acucrate data on production
and distribution costs to vote in the
senate without delay despite the OPP
position Of the coal owners.
The senator, supported BY leading
members of the cabinet and by adj
ministration spokesman in both
houses Of congress, said that legis-
lation is imperative to "clean up" the
coal trade of some of the mysterious
elements which now are believed to
be. contributing to abncrmally high
prices Of coal.
Disappointment was expressed nv
Secretary of the Interior Fall and
Secretary of Commerce Hoover over
the failure of coal operators to CO.
operate with the government in its
sterilization plan. They charged that
the coal operators by their attitude
Of antagonism are defeating their
own ends.
Twenty or more Of the operators,
chief figures in the anthracite and
bituminous industries, left Washing
ton last week still perplexed over the
full meaning of Secretary Falls
warning that failure Of the operators
to cooperate fully with the govern
ment may bring them EVENTUALLY
into competition with government
mined coal.
Before their departure Senator
