The Republican National committee at its meet
ing in Washington yesterday cut 20 votes from the
representation in national conventions OF the south

attitude on the part of the national organization to-
ward the buying up ofldelegates from the southern
states There is some hope now that the solid south
will be broken some day; but 1t will be necessary
