Its membefs rstaxn to the I different states with the firm con- 1 niction that they hare acted in the I interest of both rehabiiiatioa of the 1 party and of harmony, ajid that thej [ took the right course in a situation I filled with pitfalis and danger. I The t"wo changes demanded by pub- j lie sentiBoent have been made- The j basis of representation of past natisn- j al eoiiventions is no more. The sys- : tern ■which based number of delegates ‘ upon population entirely, ignoring I altogether the party strength, in the j different sections of the country, has I been laid awjty. No longer will it be ; possible for a convention delegate to f represent 200 Republican votes in j Mississippi and South Carolina and 400 in Lauisianan, while a New York delegate represente ?,500 votes and a delegate from Pennsylvania, 9,SCM> votes. There has been equitable readjust ment,. The new system will equalize j the number of delegates with party I conditions. The voice of the South j in the eonvention will be small. The I twelve Sts-tes of the solid South will I together hove but fifteen oer cent, i Terriiorits like Pcrto Eieo arid the J \ Phillippines will fcsve no vote in the I selection of the next Republican Pres- ! i-do-ntial Cor^vention. And the same i c-peranon has been performed upc i cti"s.:n strong Democratic Congres ■ prtoincrs in the NcrTh, The> hi;ve t.lso lost some of.their dele^au ;-i:rength. ihi oihev «_ ' is in the '.;v rcll oz tv-- -entiori.

These things the comniitti; itself performed And some- rvill criticize That it do so and did not call a con vention for that purpose. Tne rea- ^ son a convention was not called was ; because it would result in more injarj char, benefit to the party. This be- can’.e so clear after the ccmniittee had assembled in Washington that there ! was but one opinion as to the proper ■ course to pursue. Even the small vote ; cast in favor of a convention did not I represent a sentiment in its favor. 1 Some of the votes for it ware cast by : men who had been instructed by con- ■ ventions in their States to favor a i convention, but who themselves were ' convinced that such course was rot I wise. I It was not until Monday night that [the convention perished. Up to that ; time it was a certainty. There vv-ere ; thirxy-one of the fifty-three members j of the committee in favor of a can- ■ vention, and ready to vote -eir sen- i tinients. On Monday evening tiii' x,om- I mittee met informally at dirner. For i five hours there was a frank recital } of conditons and discussion of the best I course to pursue. Nothing was gioss- 1 ed over; things were called 1 y their i right names. Everyone present told I his story and gave his opinion. At ; the close of the dinner it •^.‘."as known i by all that there vrould be no con- : ventior.. I Out of the discussion came tho ! very clear conclusion that a coriv^rn- ^ tion within the next twelve raonth> would develop bickerings and factions : rather than compose the differences \iithin the party. It was apparent ; that much of the time of the conven- ; tion would be taken tjp with a fight- : ing over again of the battle of Chi- : cago of 1912. No useful purpose could ' be server by such procedure. The i eyes of the party should look forward : not backward, if success is desired, j The time for discussing the Chicago j convention ended on election day of I last year. I Besides, a national convention could I do but one thing more than the com- I mitte has done. That would be to ; write a platform, a declaration of principles which should look to party strength in 1916, But it is too early to determine the issues of 1916. The Democratic record of legislation is not yet made up. There is still much water to go over the dam. So the idea of a convection was gir- en up. Then came the question of how to change conditions that should be changed* without appearing to ex ercise a too autocratic authority. The question of changing the rales and . conduct of the committde was» of > course, simple, lljat was something | OTer which it had authority. | That l«ft the matter of delegate j representatoB to be dealt wih. Thej Legal Coniinittee had reported thatj_ the National Committee not hars- the authority to make a change. So 1 the eomndttee did not make ita new: ■pportioament gna^. It is to W bia4> ing when the party of the country ^.pproves its action. The dammittee refers plan to the RepaMicaB -y of the Ftation^ the same power from '■•hich the committee derives its oivi' authority. The party itself is to share in the reform. The different ">tates are to do their part. They have a year in which to take actioiTL When the action has been ratified by States representing^ a snajority of the eievtorai votes it becomes the party aWj not before. This is the same vote that such a plan must, receive to :e adopted by a special convention -ailed for that purpcse. In thi^ way -b,e committee ustarps no power not is own. It says to the country that -t wiB do a certain specific thing, if the party, whose agent It is, approves ind ratifies. The first foraaai step will be made | -I an address to the State Orgau- .zations to be issued soon by a spec- '.sl committee, appointed by the Nat- .onal Committee for that purpose, rharles B.
