PARTIES BALANCED IN THEIR DELEGATES
Republicans Send t,oSs, Demo-
 csls 1,o0S to Conventions
Wsshington. D. C.. Jan, 19, - On Juno IF. 1.O89 republican delegates.

Washington. D. C.. Jan, 19. - On Juno l1. 1,OS9 republican delegates. each with an alternate. will gather in Kansas City. Mo, 10. select the party's nominees for president and vfce-president of the United States. and two weeks later l,oaS demo- crate. each with an alternate. will gather in Houston. Tex, to select their standard hearers,
 Although the two parties use different methods of allottlng dele gates to the states, in the end the results are about the same. The democrats allow each state twice as many delegates as 1t has members Of the United States senate and the house of representatives. also allow territories and districts 10 send dele gates. although they can produce no votes in the electoral college,
 This method CT opportlonlng dele gates, of course, Is based or poru- lation rather than on party strength, for the number of members of the national house of representatives Is based on the population. although no reapportionment of representa- tives has been made since the 1910 census. Thus state like Michigan. which has only enc democrat in congress- ssnator-has two more delegates to tho democratic conven- ton than Georgia. which elects two democratic senators and 1 . demo- cratic consressmen.

Marine planes strafed rebels thera Saturday and on their return re. ported 70 rebels killed and many wounded.
 sandipo had been expected at Jinoteea Sunday and although the signal for his arrival was given he never appeared.
 Nicaraguan travellers said San dino's wife left San Rafael hurriedly for Fl Chipote in response to an urgent message.
 The generals body was turned over to his widow at the mountain stronghold, the Nicaraguans assert ed They said she was returning with 1t to San Rafael for a great funeral.
 Airplane patrols returning from the embattled region reported yes terday that the rebels were quiet. A similar report was brought back Tuesday and also the withdrawal of rebel outposts from San Albino was noted

New Britain herald., 1928-01-19

Thus it would ceem that a group of republican states, which can pro- duce no votes in the electoral col- lege for the democratic nominee. might dominate the convention. name the candidates, and thus force upon solid democratic states the choice of small minorities in solid republican states.
 To prevent this. the democrats have adopted the tWo-thirds rule, which requires that two-thirds of the total votes must be cast for a candidate before he can be non- mated. This means that 799 of the 1,n2s democrats meeting i'll Houston must vote for Governor Alfred r.. Smith of New. York before he can be nominated.
 Republican Safeguards
 The republicans have adopted ] series of reforms. beginning with the ia16 convention. to avoid the domination of an alignment of the states which produce no republican votes in the electoral college,
 The republican national conNen. ton of 1928 will be constituted ] as follows. Four delegates at large from each state. two additional delegates at large for each Repre- sentative at-lsrss in Congress from each state. tWo delegates large each for Alaska. District of Colum- hls, Porto Rlcs. Hawai-. and tho Philippine Islands. three additional delegates t-1arga from each state casting it's electoral vote. or 3 ms- loritv thereof for the Republican nominee for President In 1924, one district delegate from each Con- Eresslonal district. one additional district delegate from each Congres- sional district casting 10000 or more votes for any Republican cleo tor Tn the 1924 presidential elections, CT for the Republican nominee for Congress in 1926.
 Thus the state going republican in 1921 receive 3 bonus of power in
New Britain herald., 1928-01-19
ippines.. and Porto Rico. each.
 Democratic Allotment

The democratic convention will be composed of delegates distributed as follows: New York. 90: Pennsyliva- nia. 76; Illinois. tS: Ohio. %s: Texas. 40: Missouri. S6: Massachusetts, 36: Indiana and Michigan 30 each: New Jersey and Georgia. :s each; Cali fornia. Iowa. Kentucky and Wiscon- sin. 26 each; Alabama. Minnesota. North Carolina Tennessee and Vir- ginia. c.4 each: Kansas. Louisia na. Mississippi and Oklahoma. 20 each: Arkansas and South Carolina, IS each: Maryland. Nebraska and West Virginia. 16 each: Connecticut and Washington. 14 each: Cobra do. Florida and Maine. 1c each: North Dakota. Oregon. Rhode Island and South Dakota. 10 each: Idaho. Mon tana, New Hampshire. Utah and Vermont. 8 each: Arizona, Delaware. Nevada, New Mexico, Wyoming. Alaska. District of Columbia, Hawaii, Philippines. Porto Rico. and Canal Zone. $ each.
 These delegates are elected by conventions or primaries. according 10 the laws of the various states. within certain limitations set by the
New Britain herald., 1928-01-19

the convention, and congressional districts .whici, have not as many as 10. 900 people voting the republican ticket arc penalized.
 For example. New York will have 90 delegates to the 1928 republican convention. whereas it had 9l in the 1924 convention. As it voted for Coolidge in 1924, it gets the bonus of three delegates awarded such states, but the Republicans have lost congressional district since 1922. so it loses one district delegate. The state will have 90 delegates to the democratic convention, too. as it has 4S Congressmen and. of course, two Senators.
 The strength of the various states in the republican convention may be compared by the number of dele gates each will have as follows Alabama. IS, lone less than in 1eo4): Arizona. 'f9; Arkansas.

"STRAP HANGER" REACHES
 EICHTY.SEYENTH YEAR
Noted Capitalist Tells of Many Re- markabIe Investments Made
 Half Century Ago

New York. Feb. 16 (UP)-John F.. Andrus of Yonkers, who for years rode on subways but differed from other straphangers because he had millions of dollars, today reached his S7th birthday.
 He was in fine health and spirits. In fact, he offered to box one Of his interviewers but the challenge was declined.
 T expect to live long," he said. T hope to live within a few days of the age of Methuselah."
 The annual interview began on routine lines and, asked to name the greatest man he knew. Andrus chose John D. Rockefeller. Then the capi- talist fell into reminiscent mood and told how his huge fortune had been built. He bought . share of Singer Sewing machine stock In 1884 for $65 which now has grown to a value of ts7.s3o.
 But say" he recited. 'Ive got some things that beat that all hol- low. Some years ago ! took some stock in the Texas Pacific railroad when it owned vast land grants. They gave an acre of land with d share of stock. think mine cost about 20 cents a share and now it's worth about Se.412 share"
 Andrus is no longer "the worlds richest straphanger" because he now rides to work every day in an auto. mobile.

OLYMPIC SPORTS
 ARE INTERRUPTED
Sprnglke Weather Causes Much
 Disappointment

St. Moritz, Switzerland. Feb. 1G.- Rl-Balmy springtime weather to- day continued to raise havoc with tho Olympic winter sports program and today's events again were inter- rupted.
 Two hockey matches were disput- ed this morning, but the sun came out in full force about noon and soon turned the ice into slush necessitat- ing the calling off of the games for the day.
 Belgium defeated France at hockey 3 to 1 and Switzerland SCOT ed an upset in the same sport by defeating Germany 1 to Q.
 The figure skating for women was started but had to be abandoned be- fore the program was completed.
 The bob sleigh run in which John Heaton and William Fiske Of the United States were entered had to be postponed until tomorrow.
 An attempt by the committee to have Canada play Sweden in the first semi-finals of the hockey com- petition this afternoon brought a protest from the Canadians who car- ried their point and the match was fixed for eight o'clock tomorrow morning.
 We came here to play hockey and not water polo" said P. J. Null queen, chairman of the Canadian Olympic committee. when informed that the committee wanted the Can- adian-swedish game played this aft ernoon.
 There appears small likelihood that the 10.000-metre race, about which 50 many complications have arisen, will be run again in accord- national skating federation. The fed- ovation yesterday overturned the de- cision of the executive commission of the international Olympic committee that Irving Jaffee of New York be proclaimed the 10,000-metre cham pion on the strength of his leading position when the event was called off on Tuesday because of unfnvor- able weather conditions.
 Gustavus T. Kirby, American dele- gate to the Olympic winter sports has received telegram from the Films who are now en route to Helsing- fors, reading: Congratulations. The American victory in the 10000 metres was well earned" This mes- sage was signed by Thunberg. Skut- nabb, Ovaska and Backman, Fin lands four entries in the speed skat- ing.
 Kirby announced today that the American speed skaters may leave St. Moritz tomorrow should the thaw continue.
