wloKate from tho Seventh dcorRla dis
tort They threw out P. J. Dyar of
dalrsvllle, a member of Henry Ij. John
son' Ijowden delegation, which received
in. r.mmlttee's O. K. the previous day.
rtor making this sacrlflco to the
rlnmor nsalnst the so-called delegate
'stealing" the committee seated the
Louden delegates from the KlRhth and
Tenth Georgia districts. Tho men
sciiixl were W. 11. Harris oOUhens
;ml Itobert C. Williams of Augusta.
The Wood men thrown out were J.
Thomas Heard of Athens and J. W.
Lyons of Augusta.
Tho committee then referred the
Wood-Lowden contest In the Ninth
leorRla district. Involving two votes, to
a subcommittee for further Investlga
'ion. P.oscoe Pickett, Republican State
ihairman of Georgia, Is on the Wood
tslpRatlon from this district, and tho
wmmittee has heort Jockeying for three
.ia on the question of putting him
under the steam roller with the rest of
the Wood delegates.
The Oeorgla affray was not settled,
however, without a fight. Charges that
forced allldavlts had been-presented In
support of Lowden delegates from the
Southern Statea were hurled about.
Walter Akerman, Bon of the Akerman
who was Attorney-General under Gen.
Grant, definitely accused Henry Lincoln
Johnson, the J9.000 Lowden "Georgia
peach." with having presented forged
affidavits In support of Capt. P. J,
Dvar's claim to Cole's seat.
lohnson leaped to his feet, shouting
"Its false." and accusing Akerman of
"nlajlns to the Rallery."
The four Virginia delegates at large
officially reported, led by Representative
f" 1). Slemp of Dig Stone Gap. Lowden
delegates were seated, tho negro con
lestants, headed by J. SI. Parsons of In
dependence, being rejected.
As the National Committee reached the
windup of contests to-night, the appor
tionment of 11S of the, 137 votes In depute
seemed to stand as follows: Lowden, 7?:
.Wood, 23; Johnson, 7; Harding, 6.
Of the remaining nineteen votes sev--
entcen comprising the delegation from
N'orth Carolina were awaiting the in
structions of the Presidential preference
primary held in that State to-day. The
her two delegates, Goldstein and
Moore of Missouri, were thrown out by
n committee in connection with the
. nden check charges.
FIGHT IS BREWING
ON' PRIMARY LAWS
Continued from "Iral rage,
my attention In which a delegate In
structed for me neons seriously to have
proposed that," he said, "and I don't
bellevo even In that case ho will do H.
No man of honor could betray his people
In such fashion. It wonld be utterly de
moralizing. Do you Imagine that Sena
tor Wntsop find.) will violate tho In
structions his Stato has given him? The
Senator Is n dcvotcil novocain of Sena
tor Harding')) nomination, but )in Is
hero ns a dclegato at largo Instructed by
Ills State for Gen. Wood, and ho will
obey Instructions, us every other man
of honor will do."
Sonator Johnson did not think It nee
ssary to require nil States to hold their
primaries on tho same day.
Nnnthern Situation Dniitrrroui. '
Major-Gen. Wood declared In favor
of further reform of the Southern dele
gate apportionment, though he did not
Ri Into details. Ho has heretofore le
ilared for a national primary with all
States voting on the same day. The
present' Southern situation ho regarded
as dangerous to the Republican party,
and requiring correction. Ho hoped u
plnn would be devised to this end,
It Is known that some members of the
Republican Natlonnl Committee nro
working on such n plan, and a. confer
ence has been held with a view to sub
mitting to tho convention, when the
committee on rule. reports, a new rule
to reduce the' sUe ot futuro delegations
from tho Southern Statea. It Is said
that the proposed now rule would lop
off about nlnoty delegates from eleven
Southern States. Tho present rule gov
erning apportionment of delegates reads:
"The convention shall consist ot four
delegates at largo from each State, two
additional delegates at largo for each
representative nt large In Congress from
any State, ono delegate from each Con
gress district In i,irh Htnto nml niin nrl.
'dlttonal delegate for each Congress dis
trict In each State In which the vote for
any Republican cltctor In tho last pro
ceding; Presidential election or. for tho
, Republican nominee for Congress In the
last preceding Congress election shall
havo been not less than 7,500."
Various plans of nmendlm: this rule
have been proposed, some of them deal
ing In percentages and being quite com
plicated. The amendment now most fa
vorably considered would strlko out the
arbitrary delegate from every district
and merely grnnt two delegates for any
district casting 7,."i00 Republican votes.
Thus the rule would give:
"For delegates at large from each
State, two additional de'egates. at large
for each Representative at Large In
Congress from any Stute, and two ad
ditional delegates for each Congress
District casting 7.B00 Republican votes."
Would ffeet Rleven State.
This would reduce to eighty-four tho
number of delegates from the eleven
States of Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina. Georgia. Florida. Ala
bamu, SIlsslsslppl. Louisiana, Texas,
Arkansas -ad Tennessee.
Members of the National Committee
say they believe- this rule will b
adopted. They regard the present South
ern situation as a real menace to the
party, and say that tho small measure
of reform adopted four years ago was
oy no means sufficient. Under the old
rule, which applied down to and In
cluding the 1913 convention, tho eleven
States named would have been entitled
to 214 delegates. That gave two dele
gates for every Senator and two for
every Representative In Congress to
which the State was entitled. Then the
rule was adopted in its present form,
gtvlr.g every State four at large, o tu
tor every district, and an additional one
for etch district that cant 7.500 Repub
lican votes. The working ot the three
rules is Indicated by the following table.
which shows the number of delegates for
each State under each of the three rules:.

State. 1912 rule. rule. rule.

This would leave the eleven States with
half their present delegate strength and
one-third the strength they wielded In
1912, When the present rule was adopted
following the Southern delegate scandals
of 1912 It was Intended frankly ns- an
experiment and nn admonition, Having
)ikI a tryout under tho present rule, the
Houthern wing of the party, instead of
reforming, ImH once more como to the
National Convention with a uerlcs of
contests that once more smell to heaven,
and jmtlcnco has becomo about ex
hnuctcd. Ono member nf tho Natlonnl Com
mittee declared to-day that If all tho
fncU about tho present Southern con
tests wero to be dug up nnil published
tho convention would havo to leavo
Chicago to escape the odor.
TWELVE BALLOTS
TO PRECEDE CHOICE
Con t iiucd from Flnt rapt,
final, eandldate aDout as much as the
Now York or New England delegates
are. Everybody who has any pretensions
rlalms everylwdy not pledged, nnd tho
best bet is that somebody to going to
arise In this convention and tell tho dele
gates that Mr. So and So Is tho man who
.ihould bo President, nnd toll them bo
forcibly that they nro going to belicvo
him, And It Is an equally snfo bet that
this Mr, So anil So Is not seriously con
fldcred now.
Tho Wood campaign, which seems to
havo suffered from a gonernl dlwregard
of discipline, has not yet recovers from
the setback tho Sloues statement of last
i' ght seems to havo handed It. Tho
General and strongest of his supporters
spent the day repudiating ti:o Hoses
statement. Henry H. McCoy of Manila,
who represents Republican of tho Philip-p-nes
on th? National Committee; V. I
Highland of Weit Virginia, Joseph Mo
Qiuw ot Oklahoma nnd Fred Stanley ot
Kansas added repudiations ot tho Moses
statement, Senator Moses said abso
lutely nothing In rebuttal.
Tho General declined that ho was
making no combinations with anybody,
was playing tho game with all his cards
fnco up, referred ul) questions concern
ing tho courso of hla candidacy In the
convention to Mr. Procter, and then said
that ho wis about to rotlre to a nearby
invisible point, which Investigation de
veloped to bo Fort Sheridan. The Gen
eral will go there Tuesday morning.
Gov. Lowden says that ho Is going to
Springfield, where u private tolephono
linn will keep him In touch with nffalrn.
Senator Johnson says he Is going to
stay right here and will not go away
unless ho Is carried away,
"I cannot ay much about tho sltua
tlon," Hold Sir. Dcpow, "because I hnvo
not been here long enough to get tho
real news. This Is my thirteenth con
vention, you know."
Ho was nuked whether ho believed
that tho Senato Investigation hnd In
jured the chances of tho Republican
party.
What Inquiry linn Rbovrn.
"Injure tho party or Its chances?" he
cried.. "Ulesj you, no, Tho Investiga
tion has moroly shown tho country the
folly of Stato Presidential primaries. A
man of modcrato means cannot com
pete In such primaries without having
been presented to the people, and that
costs money. I think we shall get back
to a bettor system, I believe thoroughly
In the convention system, I suggest, for
Instance, conventions In every Congress
district In tho country on tho name day,
thero to nominate candidates to State
conventions, whero the State's choice
for President will bo named. That would'
glvo tho man of moderate or modest.
means a chance at the -great odlce.
Fully 10,000 mop, women nnd boys
assailed the Conway Jlulldlng toMlny In
hope of getting tlokcts to some session
of tho convention. They were orderly
enough nnd tho police had nothing to
do except keep them In line. Only the
very few who hod letters granting them
scats wero rewurded for their long
wait. Slany and varied were tho pleas
made Some said they had always voted
tho Republican ticket, as had their ta-,
u... .nnrffniiierH. These faithful
incin inn n'.- . . . ...
adherents were congratulated, but as
(IrmW refused, as wore thoso who had
no excuse other than doslrc.
Tho rest of tho delegates itre ox
pectcd hero to-murrow. Uy Monday
morning tho crowd will havo reached Its
flood. Just whero they are goln to Ile
Is one of Chicago's mysteries, because
tho expected crowd has been exceeded
by thousands.
