0.2 DELEGATON | FRON SOUTH New Rule to Reward States According to Presidential Votes. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. @pecial Dispatch to The Star. ! CHICAGO, TIL, June 18—The South | has been dethrened from the strategic | Pesition it has hitherto occupied in Re- | publican national _conventions. For| years there has been clamor to reduce the power of the Southern delegations. Examination of the report of the Committee on Rules, which was adopted by the Republican National Conventlon, which has just closed, shows that here- after. beginning with the next nationa! convention, Southern delegates will be apportioned on the basls of the num- ber of Republican votes cast in presi- dential elections Long Subject of Criticism. It has been estimated that the ruling means a reduction of approximately 50 per cent in the number of Southern delegates, who no longer will be able to influence the voting as before. Crit- icism of the part the Southern dele- gates have played in conventions has been_one of the thorns in the side of | the Republican party. To gather up a | nucleus of Southern delegates by astute can;pmxn managers has been easy, espe- cialls been in the hands of a few leaders in! each State. Charges have from time to time been made that Southern dele- gates were given various inducements to_support particular candidates. This time President Hoover’s renom- ination was assured any how and the Southern delegates were not a deciding factor. There was a demand, howover, | for greater representation on the part of States which broke away from the Dem- ocratic column in 1928 and voted for Hoover. So to meet the situation the Rules Committee brought in the new sys- | tem of alloting delegates. Thus a State which does go Republican or which casts a heavy Republican vote will be rewarded by being given more dele- gates at the next national Republican convention, whereas, the States which g0 Democratic time after time and cast a small Republican vote, will have their representation cut down Sanders Popular Choice. All of the Republicans have gone home except for a handful arranging already the details of the campal, Selection of Everett Sanders as chair- man of the Republican National Com- mittee and as campaign manager for Mr. Hoover was regarded by the vet- erans as a splendid move. First, it brings & man into the picture whe, by reason of his clcse affiliation with Pres- ident Coolidge, knows the Republicans of the various States particularly vell and can bring the oid-timers into line | bette- than some of the latterday | Hoover men, | Mr. Sanders comes from Indiana and served creditably in the House of Rep- | Tesentatives, where he was personally popular. He has a wide acquaintance with public men and State leaders and knows politics from the ground up.| Unquestionably he will be one of Mr. | Hoover's important campaign advisers, | especially on the strategy of attack | and defense. President Coolidge has | always spoken of the great help that | Everett Sanders was to him in the | White House and especially in the oftentimes delicate relations with Cap- itol Hill. The elevation of Mr. Sanders. a strong Coolidge man, to the national chairmanship, is the beginning of a campaign in which party harmony and solidification of the ranks of the regu- lars will be the objective. And the campaign may take on some of the aspects of the old sound money cam- paigns in which Republican conserva- tism is frankly championed in contrast to_alleged experimentalism. The whole Republican platform car- zies out the idea of caution and co: servatism, which are to be the Repub- lican battle cries in urging the country not to change horses in midstream. TO RECONCILE PLANKS | Party in State Went Further on Prohibition Than Did Na- tional Convention. BY HAROLD €. FEIGHTNER. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. June 18.—In- diana Republicans are back from the Chicago convention wondering how they can reconcile their State prohibition repeal plank with the national plat- form. Some of them feel like they are on a limb. ‘They thought they saw daylight ahead when the repealists adopted their plank at Chicago, but when it went | gone cut on the lake frant.” | boats and went out a mile or two so|Phere tn which, be Wea Tf since the Republican party has| ¥ down under administration pressure they were keenly disappointed. The divergence between the two planks placed two noted Indianians, Gov. Harry G. Leslie and Will H. Hays, movie dictator, in an embarrassing po: tion. They wanted to support the Hoover plan. but they could not con- sistently vote against their own State platform, so they cast their votes for repeal. Eyes of Indiana now are on Democratic State Convention, which will be held Tuesday. The Democrats are sure to adopt a repeal plank, but the degree of wetness is perplexing the leaders It is a foregone conclusion, too. that the Democrats will send an unpledged delegation of 30 to the rational con- vention, despite efforts to pull them over into the Roosevelt camp. They are not ooposed to the 2lew York Governor, but a good many Hoosier leaders are hopeful that the conven- tion will swing to Newton D. Baker. PROHIBITION PARTY | IS REVIVED IN OHIO Dry Organization, However, Is Not the Expected to Cut Figure in Campaign. BY J. H. GALBRAITH. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 18.—The | Prohibition party organization in Ohio, which last week placed Aaron S. Wal kins in nomination for Governor, is a resurrection of the organization which passed out with the adoption of the rohibition amendment after function- ng for more than a third of a cen-: tury. The reappearance of the party this yeer is not likely to have anv effect upon the election result in the State. ‘The liquor issue will be a factor in the Ohio campaign undoubtedly, but not a major one. Depression in indus- try and agriculture and unemployment will be the greatest source of danger to the administration party in this State. In denying a report that he had engaged headquarters at Chicago for the Democratic National Convention, Gov. George White, to whom the Ohio delegation is pledged, took occasion to say that he would not attend the con- vention. As Newton D. Baker and former Gov. James M. Cox have al- ready stated that they would not be at the convention. the only favorite oon of the Btate likely to be on hand 13 Senator R. J. Bulkley. Prohibition Plank Puzzle THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, | Democratic Observer Does Not Quite Know What It’s All About, but Hears Delegates Went Out on Lake to Drown Convictions. BY ELMER DAVIS. CHICAGO, June 18 (N.AN.A.).—God- frey G. Glcom, the visiting Democratic observer, was encountered by a reporter wandering aimlessly around the Con- gress H:tel lobby. “Been looking for some of my friends | among the delegates,” the veteran ex- plained, ¢“but I hear that they've all “Whet are they doing on the lake| front?" asked the correspondent. “Sinking their ccnvictions in the in- terest of harmony"” replied Mr. Gicom. “I hear some cf 'em even hired motor- their convictions cculd be sunk in deep water and wouldn't float back ashore to trouble them.” Puzzled About Prohibition. “What do you think of the Republic- | an prohibition plank?” the reporter asked. “Up to this time” said Mr. Gloom, cautiously, “I don’t know what it really is. True, I have read the text or sub- stance of it In every papecr that's come to my nctice. As far as I can gather, this subcommittee resolved to keep their decision o strictly confidential _thi they didn't tell anybody but 400 news- paper men. But the stories in the papers don't all tally, so I'm inclined to suspect that a lot of these informative | subccmmitteemen went to sleep while the plank was being read and only voke up in time to vote ‘Aye.’ But anyway, whichever way you read that plank, I bet every Republican will agree it is admirably adapted to its purpose. Dr. Butler said the other day that ‘there is no place anywhere today for the pussyfooter,” and he was almost exactly right. No place at all but the ‘White House. | “And if you think that remark is dic- tated by any partisan animosity of mine, I invite you to take a look at the behavior of the leading candidate for | the Democratic nomination.” “What did you think of the early session?” the reporter asked. “Snell Best Keynoter.” “Why, it wasn't a bad session at all,” said Mr. Gloom. “The galleries were | no more than half empty, so I reckon | some of these forgotten men, who for- got to come the first day had been drummed up and told they were ex- pected to show up and look interested. | And as a keynoter, I much preferred | Mr. Snell to Senator Dickinson. “This Snell is smart. ‘I chall not ! gn. | pause,’ he said, ‘to enumerate the full | list of Republican achievements,’ evi- | dently fearing that if he did so h!i might forget and say something about | the abolition of poverty. It is true he | slipped into an occasional defense of | the party record. but most of the time | he was attacking, not defending, and | that was zocd sense. | “In the first place, there plmty‘ 16 attack in the record of the Democrats in Congress, and in the second place. I have an idea that this year anybody who attacks anybody for any reason is going to have a lot of sympathetic listeners. Not that Snell was at all remiss about praising the President. ‘First he gets his facts’ says Snell, ‘and then he acts.’ There's some of these dele- gates who served on that famous Wickersham Commission, and I bet that |~ remark must have called up bitter | memories of how Hoover got the facts| they'd spent a year or so collecting. and then threw 'em all in the waste basket.” Training for Real Demonstration. “So.” Mr. Gloom continued, “we had a pretty good speech, and then we had that impressive outburst of enthusiasm | when President Hoover's name was | mentioned. That alone was worth the price of admission. For eight minutes the unbridled passion of the mob car- | ried everything before it, and some were cven seen to wave their handkerchiefs. Yesterday's demonstration lasted two minutes, so this one was four times as long. “I understand word has been passed around that it has got to be kept up | for 30 minutes when Hoover is nomi- nated, and at this rate of geometrical progression the delegates will be at the peak of their form then, neither over- trained nor undertrained, and able to endure that half-hour demonstration without collapsing under the strain. “But it was certainly a historic mo- ment at the earlier session when for the first time in a quarter of a cen- tury the Wisconsin banner was waved | aloft in the grand procession.
