ANOTHER DELEGATE
ALLOWED DISTRICT.
Convention Adopts Report Of
Rules Committee on Size
of Delegation.
BY J. A. OLEARY,
STAFF Correspondent OF The Star.

CHICAGO. June l5.-The Republican
National Convention today adopted the
report Of its Rules Committee lncreas-
ing the District Of Columbia delegation
to future conventions from two to three
members. This also means three alter
mates instead of two hereafter.
The convention accepted the recon-
menGation Of the committee without de-
bate. The same report also gave Hawaii
and Alaska one additional delegate each
The action of the convention was
hailed as a development OF unusual
significance by Republican leaders from
Washington.
Colladay Lauds Action.
1T is a very important recognition
OF the District of Columbia as a poli:l-
cal unit Of the United States and may
prove to be step leading to ultimate
full recognition Of the District as an
active participant In the political affairs
Of the Nation through the adoption of
our proposed constitutional amendment
authorizing representation in Congress
and the electoral college" said Edward
F. Colladay, Republican national COM
mitteeman for the District.
The resolution seeking the increased
membership was presented by Delegate
Houston OF Hawaii and seconded by
Rev. DR.. William H. Jernagin, one of
the District delegates
The Rules Committee. presided over
by Gen. J. G. Harbord, granted a
hearing to Mr.. Colladay He explained
that in Washington the colored resi-
dents always are represented by che
delegate
There is also one white man on the
delegation. Mr. Colladay pointed out
to the Rules Committee that limiting
the District delegation to two members
leaves no opportunity for the women,
and also precluded the possibility Of the
State chairman and national commit
teeman coming to the conventions in
the capacity of delegates, as is done In
the States.
Cites Democratic Delegates.
Mr. Colladay also told the committee
that in each Of the last three national
campaigns the Republicans Of the Dis
trict have rails d between $4,000 and
100000.
AS a further argument he cited the
fact that the Democrats of the District
are allowed six delegates to their party.
Samuel j. Prescott. Republican State
chairman for the District, and Edgar C,
SNYDER. one Of the District delegates,
also have been cooperating in the eff
fort to have provision made for larger
delegation in the future.
