VOTE IN SOUTH TO
CUT REPUBLICAN
REPRESENTATION
By I C, Martin . , . .
. Coliseum, Chicago, June ,12. -(U
P.) 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,

A resolution directing'" the national
committee to recognize the apportionment
of delegates from the South, was adopted.
The object of 'the movewas to cut. down
the delegations from the Southern states
which are always the subject , of. much
controversy.. -
. Senator Ixdge . was . appointed chair
man of the committee to notify Hard
ing of his nomination, and William Allen

mittee to notify Coolidge. At 7 :33, on
the motion of Chairman Will Hays, the

tion. excitement in the Coliseum intensi
fied. 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. .
PEXNSTLVASIA TtTBlfS TIDE .
Between the ninth and tenth ballots
Governor Sproul ' of Pennsylvania went
into the midst of the Pennsylvania dele
gatlon, which had - stuck to him faith
fully, and released them. - That insured
Harding's victory Senator Wadsworth
meanwhile 'was working like an evan
gelist up and down the aisles . of the
New York delegation getting more votes
for Harding. - The tenth and" decisive
ballot started- amid wild scenes ; every
vote for Harding 'was the signal for a
renewed outburst of jubilation. 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.
It was many minutes before. the-bal-'

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. Lodge, at his
elbow, hammered the brass . rail with
bis gavel In vain for several minutes. :
Afti.T that it - was " general jollifica
tion. " "
The suffrage pickets let down a ban
ner from the rear gallery demanding
to 'know Why the Republlcaas block

whatever.
'The business of nominating Coolidge
was hurried through..' f The , : gallery
crowas naa t uainned out and the dele
gates were pushing toward the exits
when "Lod? brougut down his gaven tot
