The Republican party in the South has -got to poll more' votes or be penalized . through reduction of its representation In future na tional conventions. &s a result of action taken by the convention to day. A reeojutlon presented by Paul Row land, Ohio, directs the national .conven tion to make up a' new basis of state representation within a year from today. - It was adopted unanimously, although Southern delegates made a futile effort to have it ruled out of order.: , , i AIMED AT SOUTHERN STATES ; The resolution is aimed at a condition in Southern states which was brought sharply, to the attention of credentials committeemen 'and the resolutions com mittee of the present convention. . In many Southern states . the repre sentation in-the convention was based on a Republican vote cast In some par ticularly fortunate Republican year, al though the actual Republican vote cast has dwindled to almost nothing. This has resulted in some- Southern .states with hardly any white Republicans being as well represented as some Northern states with a large Republican vote. The numerous contests in the South Involving in. some cases the rights of white and negip- delegates, "brought the question before the credentials commit tee. Negro delegates from the South called it to the resolutions committee's attention by demanding a platform plank for enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments in the South, per mitting negroes to vote. ; DEPENDS OX 3TEGBO .VOTE Southern I members .of the national committee are prepared to fight deter minedly any effort to reduce their rep resentation. They will face the alterna tive, however. Northern committeemen said today, of letting the negro Republi cans vote, and hus earning the same representation as rxorinern states,, or having their delegations reduced in pro portion to the actual size of the vote cast. - - i Rowland's resolution directs that the new basis of representation be "Just and equitable," but does not suggest or pre scribe the method to be used in deter mining thia, Cox.

Shaking off the fatigue of their week's gruelling day and night - work, the delegates Jumped i v and down on their chairs, swarmed tne ai&tes, surged, cheering around the Ohio dele gation, and set up a roar or noise that could only be eilenced by long con tinued gavelingst; by Chairman Lodge or Senator Smoot. When New York began ; giving most of its votes to Harding, - the unioans staged a , war dance. The noise was heard by Senator Harding himself, who arrived at the Coliseum during the poll ing of the . ninth; baflot he was nomi nated on the tenth and was sitting in the national committee office waiting for word of his nomination. .

But when the : clerk called ' "Pennsylvania" there was a great hissing for silence a momentary pause in the deraonfUra tion. Hundreds in the galleries stood up and with bated breath . the great, as semblage waiting, the word from Penn sylvania that would tell whether ; Hard ing was to be the Republican nominee. It came, Pennsylvania casting 60 votes for Harding.. , . - There was an instant' of "silence then a deafening roar that filled the, Coliseum. Harding was nominated.

Laughing, yelling, pounding each other on the back, hair ' disheveled, '- clothes " torn in 1, the crush, delegates milled around in the aisles 1 ike : wild men and up in ; the gal leries the spectators joined in. . They had come there to see a big show, they were seeing ' it and they helped to make it big. Johnson and bitter fights were forgotten. - Lowden, who. once .seemed the winner, was out of. mind. Wood, whose demonstration eclipsed all others when he was put in nomination, .was only a memory to those people. ,. Hard ing was the man of the hour. ' - . MISTAKES ASCERS CROWD When the" clerk announced the result he inadvertently substituted Lowden's name for Harding's as the winner and the crowd howled. ' It seemed to; be taken as a personal Affront to hundreds, andr they . raised such a . racket the be wildered clerk 'could -not get i straight- 1 ened out for a moment.
