The trouble. in a nut shell. arises
over the conflict between the order
IF the republican national committee
that there ba seven delegates from
WiScOn sin to the 1924 national con
vention. while the Wisconsin statutes
specify that f"ur shall be elected. Mr.
Bolles has had several conferences
with Chairman John 7. Adams over
the muddlr. hut nothing definite has
been decided as yet
10 make matters a Wee bit harder.
Secretary of State Zimmerman OF
Wisconsin. supreme authority on
election rulings in that state. has an
nounced that he will recognize the
election Of only four delegates at
large and if ballots are found east
for seven delegates they will not be
counted.
Mr.. BclleS explained to Mr.. Adams
that the conventions of political par
ties are not legal bodies but simply
an elimination process that grew up
in this country under its system OF
party government, and said it was a
question Of whether Wisconsin stat
uteS or the republican national com
,nittee shall prevail. If the state
law prevails Wisconsin. will have only
twenty-SiX instead of tweuty-nine
allotted it. and according to the editor
Of the GAINESVILLE Gazette. no meth od
by which Wisconsin could obtain the
three additional delegates has ever
been suggested.
Il have been curiously interested
as To whether the republican nationa
convention or the state of Wisconsin
shall determine the Badger state:
representation in the convention.'
added Mr.. Bolles. Il find that the
committee has not had this question
UP before. but some determination
will have to be made in the near fu.
