CUT JBY REPPUBLICANS I IN SOUTH CAROLINA Representation u National Convention Reduced by Seven Washington, June 9.?Election of John T. Adams of Dubuque, la., as chairman to succeed Postmaster General Hays, whose resignation was formally announced, and adoption of a new basis of represeritation at national conventions, resulting tn a further cut in the number of | delegates from the South, marked the meeting today of the Republican national committee. Mt. Adams, who was vice chairman, was succeeded in that office by Ralph Williams of Portland, Oregon. Mrs. Leonard G. Wood of Pittsburgh, was elected second vice chairman, an office created by committee action in 1 ^ TiT/vman ywotviKAT * ICW^iUI/lVU VI MiV nvuutM ship in the past. The change in representation based on the Republican vote of the last election reduces by 23 the number of delegates who were accredited from the Southern states to the Chicago convention last June. This represents a cut of 17 per cent and makes a total cut of 40 per cent in , the number of delegates from those states since the 1912 coventdon. Under the new plan pf apportionment, the next national convention will be made up of 1,037 delegates, , &3 more than the last unless there are great changes in the state votes , of last fall, upon which the calculation was made. The old system allowed for one delegate from each congressional district but under the new plan a district must have cast 2,500 RepubI lican votes f n last preceding election before it may send a delegate to the convention. To have two district delegates there must have been cast 10,000 Republican votes or a Republican representative must have been elected to congress. Under the former plan 7,500 votes j AMUffA f?A A \l/l^Q + CC 3 5W MITV I Provision also is made In the new, plan for the seating of two additional delegates at large from each state carried at the last preceding election by the Republicans. The plan was submitted by R. B. Howell >f Nebraska, for a subcommittee. The presentation on the. floo^ of the meeting precipitated a bitter fight by (members from the states affected. The principal drive on the change was by Henry Lincoln Johnson, a negro member from Georgia, and H. L. Remmel of Arkansas. The report, however, was approved by a vote of 35 to 12. As outlined by Mr. Howell, the new basis for representation will affect the Southern states as follows: Arkansas increased l; Jttonaa inCreased 2; Georgia reduced 7; Louisiana reduced 3; Mississippi reduced . 8; South Carolina reduced 7; Tennessee increased 2; Texas reduced 2 Virginia increased 1. The represen tatrion of North Carolina and Alabama remain the same. Mr. Howell said the net Tesult was that these states, unless changes come in the voting, would send 144 delegates to tfte next national convention instead of 167, by -which they were represented in Chicago last June. Mr. Howell said Tennessee is no longer considered a part of the solid Sooth and is given an increased rep-l X X} li. ^ M 1^_x ^ I retMAuwiiion as a result or election when the state was carried by! the Republican national ticket and a Republican governor and fire of the ten congressmen were elected.
