AS HEAD OF PARTY
Former Republican Chairman, Now
Postmaster General,
Resigns

hingtOn.-Electfon OF John T.
Adams of Dubuque, Iowa, as chairman
to succeed Postmaster General Hays,
whose resignation was formally an
nounced, and adoption of a new basis
of representation at national cOnven-
lions resulting in a further cut in the
number of delegates from the south,
marked the meeting of the Republican
national committee. Mr.. Adams, who
was vice chairman, was succeeded In
that office by Ralph e. Williams, of
Portland, Ore. Mrs. Leonard G..
Woods, of Pittsburg, was elected sec
ond vice chairman, an office created
by committee action in recognition of
the woman membership in the party.
The change in representation, based on
the Republican votes OF the last cleo
ton reduced by % the number of dele
gates who were accredited from the
southern states TO the Chicago conven-
ton last June. This represents a cut
of II per cent and makes total cut
OF 40 per cent in the number of dele
gates from those states since the 1912
convention.
