Wast South to "Deliver."
The prevent the "solid south that
never delivers votes to elect a presi-
dent from having such a big voolce in
the nomination of one. Republicans are
making a fight that is expected to
htsr results.
Teias for instance has 40 votes in
the nomination of a Republican can-
didate with only 64990 votes cast for
Hughes In 1916 while Connecticut
with 106.90 votes cast for Hughes
has but 12 in the convention.
An organisation has been formed
among Republicans of the north and
east to fight for a reduction of rep-
resentation In the south claiming
that the states which deliver the Re-
publican vote should have the voice in
nominating the candidate. They have
been working; here before the dele
gates and. while they have not as yet
accomplished anything the delegates
are thinking.
It may be predicted that in a
few more years unless the south
delivers more Republican votes
southern representation Is coins
to be cut In Republican conven-
tions. Much was said on the subject this
year during sessions of the national
committee in hearing contests from
the south and several members of
the committee openly said the south
seemed merely to be fighting for pat-

Many From South Want It.
Many delegates from the south
have been advocating the reduction
of representation from the south until
the south by Its votes for the party
shows its Interest. A resolution
which the next Republican convention
will be asked to adopt was prepared
here. It follows:
"Resolved by the Republicans In
national convention assembled. That
the Republican national committee Is
hereby instructed to change the basis
of representation from the southern
Democratic states that do not elect
electors to the electoral college the
change to be as follows:
"Two delegates at large from each
state and
"One additional delegate for each
10.000 Republican votes or multiple
thereof."
As the East Sees It.
The way in which the average east
ern Republican who has the party's
interest at heart is looking upon the
suggestion is reflected by the follow
ing eaitoruu expression in tne cju-
cago Tribune:
Tne delegates from tne south In
Republican conventions seem to rep-
resent something no matter how
small a vote it is but that vote is
really no vote. So long as It amounts
to nothing it may be cast. If it were
to amount to anything it would be
topped by a little increase in the Dem
ocratic vote or stopped by a little de-
crease in the Republican vote.
Tie sut wtM up."
"So far as negro votintr is Dermltted
in the south it is upon the condition
that It shall be ineffective. The south
cannot take chances with effective
negro votinc- Neither would the
north take chances. When there are
enough Chicago negroes to elect negro
mayors judges and legislators even
William Hale Thompson will be with
tne dominant wnite minority.
"The southern Republican vote is
so manipulated and controlled by the
Democrats that it cannot count for
president. The south Is solid and the
north is solid bone.
"Because Republican administra-
tions want to capture this block of
southern carpetbaggers the northern
Republicans permit their organization
to preserve a system of representation
which diminishes the legitimate power
of northern votes by giving Inequi-
table power to southern delegates.
The Right System.
"If the south voted in Republican
conventions as it votes In national
elections no one would care whom the
southern delegates were for. There
would not be enough of them. In the
system of representation now govern-
ing northern Republicans have one
delegate for about every 10.000 votes:
southern carpet baggers have one for
about every S000 votes: and the south-
ern votes are not really votes. They
are fictions.
"The next Republican president will
not oppose the system. He will use
It. The time to make a change Is
when there Is no Republican presi-
dent" Gus Karger. dean of the press rep-
resentatives in the senate gallery at
Washington who attends all na-
tional conventions relates a good
story of father and son that Illus-
trates what peculiar situations may
be brooght about at times.
He says that not long ago. In the
bouse of representatives the Hon.
Simeon D. Fess of Ohio one of the
leaders of the house aro?e to make a
point of order. Speaker Glllett
promptly ruled against the Ohloan.
Dr. Fess wasn't quite satslfled. -The
precedents." he asserted politely
"will. I am sure bear out my con-
tention." The speaker interrupted
him. 'The precedents." he declared
with firmness rare opposed to the
argument of the gentleman from Ohio.
I am so assured by the parliamentar-
ian at the speaker's table."
Whereupon the house broke out in
homerlc laughter. Why? Because
the man referred to by speaker Gll-
lett as "the parliamentarian at the
speaker's table" who had lust ruled
against Dr. Fees was Lehr Fess son of
the Hon. Simeon D. Fess. Son hsd
overruled dad and the house was
quick to appreciate the humor of the
situation.
And Lehr Fess having proved -his
worth as a parliamentarian in con-
gress served here to help out the
chairman of the convention in knotty
questions of law and precedent as
"parliamentarian at the chairmans
table." The rules that govern the
convention are the rules of the house
of representatives with silent modi-
fications and no one is better quali-
fied to interpret them than young
Lehr Fess. Up to the beginning of
this congress he was his father's sec-
retary when the Republicans ob-

While Chicago was well filled with
delegates the hotels were not as well

of the hotels reported vacant rooms

in a hall was seen this time.

GERMAN PAPERLIKES
NOMINATION OF HARDING
Berlin. Germany. June IS. Ger-
many has nothing to fear from the
nomination of Warren G. Harding as
the Republican candidate for the
presidency of the United States says
the Boersen Zeitung.
"Nothing hitherto." the newspaper
declares "warrants apprehension that
relations with Germany which nave
been lnltated by American commer-
cial and financial interests will be
hampered and on the contrary it Is
probable they will be furthered. The
character of American diplomatic re-
lations with other countries has of
late been generally different from
American commercial relations.
"The American business man has
emancipated himself more thoroughly
than those of other nations from gov-
ernment and politics. Hs does busi-
ness wherever business offers."
