In like manner the Committee
declined to cut down Southern rep.
resentatiOn even to the small ex-
tent proposed in a tentative plain
last October. and instead added
more than a hundred delegates TO
the already huge membership.
This was done by giving each State
that voted for Harding three extra
delegates, making a Convention OF
l,lO6 delegates, as against 984 in
1920.
Thus the dangerous injustice of
over-representation for the South
ern Republicans is perpetuated.
Twice at least this has brought
disaster to the party. by forcing
nominations against the will OF the
great Republican States. The Sec
