The Next National Convention On June 5, 1920 just before the meeting of the Republican National convention, the national conumnittee adopted the fellowing resolution: “Whereas it is increasingly apparent that the so-called ‘Solid South’ is in fact, on economic is- sues strongly inclined to the principles of the Republican party; and “Whereas, it is obvious, from the repeated con- tests before the national committee and other facts no less noteworthy that Republican votes in these states are not increasing in proportion to the increasing belief in Republican principles: “Be It Resolved, that the chairman of the Re} publican national committee appoint a special committee of three of its members of which the} zhairman and secretary are to be ex officio) members, one of whom shall be from the south, who shall very carefully and impartially study the whole political situation in the south and also its relation to that in the north, with a view of reporting, at the next meeting of the national} committee or as soon as the special committee} thus appointed shall be ready, how the Re-| publican party in the states of the south may be reorganized or constituted to make it a more ef-) fective agent for the spreading and recording of | Republican principles and of electing Republi- ean electors.” A few days thereafter on June 12, just before adjournment the national convention adopted this resolution: “Resolved, that in order to effect proper and necessary changes in the present apportionment of delegates in proportion to the Republican vote | actually cast at general elections throughout the various states of the union and in order to in- spire a greater effort to erect and maintain sub- stantial party organizations in all the states, the national committee, notwithstanding any rule heretofore adopted, is hereby authorized and directed within twelve months from the date of the adjournament of this convention to adopt a just and equitable basis of representation in future national conventions, which basis shall be set forth in the call for the next convention | and be binding upon the same and all other fu- ture conventions until otherwise ordered.” This subcommittee reported to the national} committee on June 8, 1921 as follows: “Your subcommittee appointed pursuant to the resolutions passed by the last Republican nat- fonal convention and by his committee at its meeting in Chicago, June 5, 1920, having fully considered the condition of the Republican party with particular references to the features men- tioned in the resolutions, hereby recommend that the following rules be adopted: Only legal and qualified voters shall partici- pate in a Republican primary, caucus, mass| meeting, or mass convention, held for the pur- | pose of selecting delegates to a county, district or state convention. Only such legal and qual- ified voters shall be elected as delegates to coun | ty, district and state conventions. State and district conventions shall be com-} tposed of delegates who are legal and qualified voters. Such delegates shall be apportioned among the counties, parishes and cities of the| state or district having regard to the Republican vote therein. The next Republican national convention, and| also conventions thereafter until otherwise or-| dered, shall be composed of delegates as follows: Four delegates-at-large from each state. Two additional delegates-at-large for each rep: resentative-at-large in congress from any state. | Two delegate tlarge e for Alaska, Dis trict of Columbia, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippine Islands. Two additional delegates-at-large from each ttate casting its electral vote, or a majority thereof, for the Republican nominee for presi- fent in the preceding presidential election. | Mr. Hull's criti One district delegate from each congressional | flistrict maintaining therein a Republican dis-| trict organ ion and casting 2,500 votes or more for any Republican elector in the last pre*| ceding presidential election, or for the Republi-| tan nominee for congress in the last preceding | rongressional election. | One itional district delegate from each con: gressional district casting 10,000 votes or more for any Republican elector in the last preceding presidential election or for the Republican nom- | fas for congress in the last preceding congres | sional election. One alternate delegate to each delegate to the national convention. That the total number of delegates to which any state is entitled shall be chosen from the} state at large, if the law of the state in which| the election occurs so requires. That, in the case of any state electing all rep- resentatives in congress from the state at large, such state shall be entitled to as many delegates ected at large, as tho ate were divided into separate congressional districts. | This report was adopted by the national com- mittee. Upon the basis agreed to the delegate repre- sentation to the 1924 convention will be as fol lows: Alabama 14, Arizona &, Arkansas 18, Califor: ec Florida 10, Georgia 9, Idaho 10, Illinois 60, In- diana 32, Iowa 28, Kansas 22, Kentucky 26, Loui- siana 9. Maine 14, Maryland 18, Massachusetts 88, Michigan 32, Minnesota 26, Mississippi 4, Missouri 38, Miontana 10, Nebraska 18, Nevada 8, New Hampshire 10, New Jersey 30, New Mexi- | co 8, New York 92, North Carolina 22, North Da- kota 12, Ohio 50, Oklahoma 22, Oregon 12, Penn- yivania 78, Rhode Island 12, South Carolina 4, South Dakota 12, Tennessee 26, Texas 17, Utah 10, Vermont 10, Virginia 16, Washington 16, West Virginia 18, Wisconsin 28, Wyoming 8, Al- jaska 2, District of Columbia 2, Porto Rico 2, Ha- waii 2, Philippine Islands 2, total 1036. The number of delegates in the Republican national convention of 1920 was 984. The basis of representation in that convention was four delegates- at-large from each state; two addition- al delegates- at-large for each representative-at- large in congress from any state; one delegate from each congressional district in each state re- gardless of the number of Republican votes poll- ed in that district in the preceding presidential election nd one additional delegate for each congressional district in each state in which the Republicans polled not less than 7,500 votes in either the preceding presidential election or the preciding congressional election. All delegates and their alternates are chosen according to the laws of their respective states, and in the ab- sence of an according to the rules of the party orgar tion in each state. Not So Bad As related by the Owatonna, Minnesota, Jour- nal, farming is not so bad when it is done right and with some intelligence. This seems to be the situation in Steele county where diversified farming is practiced. This county is in the heart of the dairy country of southeastern Minnesota It has a bank deposit of $398 for every man, wo- man and child of its total population of approxi- mately 19,000 persons. This figure indicates that the farmer in Steele county, for most of Steele county wealth is in the hands of farmers and most of its population is composed of farmers and their families, is not on the verge of ruin and that agricultural bankruptcy, if it exists elsewhere in Minnesota, does not exist here. The eleven state and national banks of the have total savings and checking deposits 2,755.22 an increase of $2,582,090.53 over the total deposits of June 30, 1918, five years ago. All of which seems to prove that diversi- fied farming with the dairy industry emphasized is successful where one-crop agriculture has led farm operators into hard times. But the $398 average for himself and the members of his fam- ily does not represent all that the Steele county farmer has. Most often he owns his farm or 1s having little trouble, if he is average in effic- iency and management, in paying for it in fair- sized installments. Many farmers have made a sufficient capital from their farms so that they have been able to sell or rent their farms and move to Owatonna or some of the villages of the county or go to California and retire from ac- tive life. Of course where farmers stake everything on one crop like wheat, and there is an overpro- duction in the country, the farmer does not do so well. He does not come out even, let alone make a living. The only certain way for a far- mer to make a success one year after another is to diversify his production. It is only on special occasions that he can make a killing on single crop production. It is a safe rule to follow, that when every- body is growing wheat it is a good time to grow something else. Isolation a Fallacy In connection with the report that American tourists will spend $700,000,000 in Europe this year, it can with propriety and truthfulness be stated that this fact is just one more proof that the theory of American isolation and aloofness from the affairs of Europe is a fallacy. Simply theory for in reality there has been neither iso- lation nor aloofness. ‘We are no more isolated now than we have been all the time since the Revolution. We are no more isolated from Europe than we are from Asia. We are isolated from Europe more than from South America in only one respect—we have set up the doctrine that territorial aggres- sion by a trans-oceanic nation against one of the South American nations will be looked upon as an act of unfriendliness toward the United States. We set that doctrine up for our own protection—not for any purpose of isolation. The theory which certain inter-nationalists have disseminated that the United States is iso- lated, is a fallacy. It is misrepresentation. It is a slander against the United States. It is pol. itical buncombe. The United States is not isolated, never has been and never will be. But we are not making any “supreme sacri- fices” as proposed by Mr. Wilson. Mr. Hull’s Bull Chairman Hull of the Democratic national committee scores the farmer relief legislation enacted by the publicans in the last congress m is not well-directed. It is true that Republican votes put the farm relief program through, but only after it had- been passed and approved by all of those who were most active as the farmer's friends. The so- called “farm bloc” in congress took a leading part in initiating and perfecting that legislation and it represented the concensus of opinion of all those who had the best interests of the farm- ers at heart. So when Mr. Hull arraigns the Republicans for their farm legislation he brings an indict- ment against all those who have been aiding the farmers’ welfare. It is unlikely that the farmers will reject those who have been working for them in the past, merely because of the partisan attacks of Mr. Hull. The Country Fair Modern country fairs are more of social oc. casions than exhibits of products or appliances. They afford apportunities to meet friends and make new acquaintances. What is to be seen there is incidental rather than the object of going. The automobile has proved a godsend to the county fair. In many instances where attendance has declined sadly from earlier days there is a marked revival of interest in such events, when it became possible to travel long distances eas- ily over good roads. Where once the caring for many teams had been something of a problem, providing parking space for more numerons au- tomobiles became a greater problem. The county fair has changed considerably in its features, but it is still potent to draw and the attendance generally appears to be increas ing. The Opinion of Other Newspapers Will Observe Armistice Day WHEATLAND—Tentative plans for one of the biggest celebrations of the year are under way for Armistice day, under the general di- rection of Ora Call, Post No. 1g, American Legion. Armistice day coming on Sunday this year, the ceremonial celebra- tion of the day will take place on the Monday following, or Novem- ber 12.

The State Teachers DOUGLAS—The annual conven- tion of the Wyoming State Teachers Association will be held in Douglas the second week in October, starting on the 8th ahd continuing for five days. It is estimated that there will be from 500 to 700 teachers here for the convention, coming from all parts of the state, It is one of the largest convention gatherings held annually in Wyoming and the people of Douglas appreciate its importance and expect to take fitting care of the visitor: An entertainment committee, of which W. A. Spear {s chairman has been appointed by the Kiwanis Club and it has prepared a tentative plan of entertainment.

Four Years Service SHERIDAN—After an absence of four years, spent in the United States Naval air service, Clay Not- tingham, who received his discharge early this month at Washington, D. C., arrived this week for a visit with his mother, Mrs. Belle Notting- ham, and other relatives in Sheri- dan and Big Horn, Mr. Nottingham, who was born and reared in this county, enlisted September 20, 1919, at Seattle, and took his training at Mare Island, Calif. In December of the same year he was transferred to the naval aviation mechanics school at Great Lakes, Ill, where he re- mained unt!l November 8, 1921, when he was transferred to the marine headquarters at Brown- field, Va. From Brownfield he was transferred to Port au Prince, Haiti, with Observation Squadron No. 2. In August he was transferred Dack to the states tor his discharge. He was a member of the cordon of soldiers, sailors and police which surrounded the White House during the time the body of the late Presi- dent Harding lay in state in the dome of the capitol building. ——<<—$—— Stiff Sentence LARAMIE—Judge Tidbal fined Phil Thomas $600 and sentenced him to ninety days tn jail for violation of the prohibition laws. This is the most severe penalty ever fixed in the local court for liquor infringe- ment, and stands as a warning to booze venders who would make light of the laws in this city. Thomas was convicted by the jury yesterday, making the third victory for the state in this term of cour:. His bond was fixed at $2500 to give him time to fix up his business mat- ters prior to serving his jafl sen- tence, Tried at Douglas LUSK—The case of the State of Wyoming against Lynn Skinner charged with burning the Silyer Clift hotel on June 1st last will be tried at Douglas on October 8. The case was transferred to Douglas on the motion of the defendant. Af. fidavits that the defendant could not get a fair trial in Niobrara county, owing to prejudice existing against him, were filed and Judge C. 0. Brown granted the change. Prose- cuting Attorney Barrett states that the case will be first on the docket at Douglas and that the state will re- quire the attendance of about ten witnesses from Lusk and other parts of the stato, County Attorney Barrett will han. dle the prosecution and Judge Edwin L. Brown will appear for the defense. ee eo Stops Runaway WHEATLAND—J. BE. Wickham, Janitor of the grade school, placed himself In line for a Carnegie medal last week wen he made a flying catch of a runaway team of horses which had broken away while de- Uvering a load of wheat at the Wheatland Roller mflL The team ran west from the mf past the Drube garage, and around the cor. ner at the telephone exchange building. Thence they ran two blocks north and had doubled back past the Methodist church when Mr. Wickham overtook them on horseback. He rode up beside the horse that was leading the chase and hauled it down by the check rein, the other animal being glad to stop. —————_ — Eliminating Isolation GILLETTE—People in the north- east corner of Campbell county are rejoicing over the progress that is being made on the new county road that leads to Gillette. Bowman hill and the one adjoining it are being cut down and the dirt used for a big fill between them. Al Huston is doing the grading, Charles Knapp has the contract for a couple of the bridges across Dry Creek. Several bridges will be built but it has not been learned who will do the work. Next year many people who have been isolated from Gillette for years will have easy access to their county seat. On Thirty-Five Werks WHBEATLAND—Here is what a dry farmer living east of Wheat- land raised on 35 acres of land: 500 bushels of corn, 250 bushels of corn, 250 bushels of oats, 60 bushels of wheat, 8 tons of millet, and $200 worth of broom corn. He states that his corn was still green and fresh on Saturday, while that of his neighbor just over the fence was frosted on September 6. The farmer withholds his name—sug- gesting that he be called Just “lucky man.” Good Corn Crop GILLETTE—The best yield of corn ¢ver produced in Campbell county is the way our farmers are describing the corn crop this fall. ‘ot only is it the best, but it ex- ceeds in quantity the yield of any Previous year. In the opinion of many, corn will be the main crop produced in the county, supplanting even wheat. Many have told us that in the years they have been here they have never failed to get a yield of corn. As soon as we grade up seed that may be classed as native, our crops will be even better. Improved Telephone Service SHERIDAN—Telephone commun!- cation has been established between Sheridan and Ulm and Arvada. Clearmont, which heretofore has been getting service by way of Buf- falo, 1s now connected directly with Sheridan. The new telephone line} now being built to Gillette will be! completed to that city within a few days. Telephone connection between Sheridan and Gillette previously has been by way of Casper, and in a roundabout way thru Nebraska and west again.
