Gatbering in 1024 | BY GEORGE W, MANNING (Washington Buresu of New Britaln Herald), | Washington, Sept, 17.—~The north- orn and western states will have @& larger power and the southern states » lesser influence in the republican pational convention of 1924 than in any convention of the party in the lust 30 years. The southern states, through a re- apportionment of delogates just an nouneed by the republiean national committee, will have 20 less delegates in the 1924 confention than in 1920 and 27 less than in 1916, while the representation of the northern and western states remains as before. While the vote of the southern states is being reduced by 20 the northern and western states will have 842 votes In the 1924 republican con- vention, an increase of 73 over the 763, which will very greatly increase their influence in the selection of the presidential nominee, In the 1924 convention, Connecticut will have 10 votes, an increase of two, Iilinols, 60 instead of 58, Indlana 32 instead of 30, Massachusetts 38 instead of 35, New Hampshire 10, an increase of two, New Jersey, 30 Instead of 28, New York 92, an increase of four, Ohio, 60 instead of 48 and Pennsylvania 78, an increase of two, This is another step in the direction of removing the menacing power that the southern states have held in re- publican party conventions for 30 years. In the past, with a large group of “hand plcked” delegates, it was possible for them to at any moment swing a big batch of votes to one can- didate and nominate him while the northern and western delegates were divided. g The southern states have hereto- fore exercised a very powerful and en- tirely unwarranted influence in selec- tion of the party's presidential nom- inee, while being unable to contribute scarcely anything towards his election. Tt has often occurred that some shrewd and powerful politiclan has been able, by use of liberal funds, to control the vote of the “solid south” in republican conventions and with this 240 odd votes combine with some other force to “put over” any candi- date willing to make the necessary promises. Under the reapportionment just an- nounced by the republican national committee the 13 really southern states will have but 209 votes in the 1924 republican convention, as against 229 in 1920 and 236 in 1916, It all came about through an effort to satisfy the demand of the northern and western states that they be given power in convention in keeping with their strength on election day and that the representation of the southern states in convention be reduced to a point more in keeping with their weakness and Inability to help “put over” the party's candidate on election day. Big Cut In Four States Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina, which have been un- able to elect even a single republican member to the electoral college for |many years have suffered a big cut in irepresentation in the convention. from 17 to 9; Loulsiana’s from 12 to Mississippi’s from 12 to 4, and uth Carolina’s from 11 to 4. | At the,same time Oklahoma, Ten- nessee and Virginia, where the repub- [lican vote has been showing gains in |recent years, have been given added strength in the republican convention of 1924, Oklahoma is to have 22 delegates instead of 20, Tennessee 26 instead of 20 and Virginia 16 instead of 15. Profiting from what happened at |the republican convention of 1912 |when the overwhelming influence of {the “hand picked” delegates from the |south drove Colonel Theodore Roose- |velt from the convention and caused | him to organize the Bull Moose party that brought about the fall of Presi- dent Taft, the party nominee, the election of Woodrow Wilson, the re- rublican national committee cut the southern representation in the con- vention of 1920 from 236 fo 229. The power exercised by Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Caro- |lina in the 1920 convention was again & cause of complaint by the northern |and western states and another reap- portionment was made for the 1924 |convention, former Flemp of Virginia, now secretary to! the president, Blemp's because he was thoroughly | famillar with the facts and in touch with the southern States; took his word for it, with the republican leaders in south, Mr, Slemp now President Cool- | idge's chief adviser, representation they would agree and drew up the plan adopted by the republican committes In June, 1921, R. \ton; Brigadier General Cole, adjutant general of the State of Connecticut; Brigadier General ward Schulze, commanding officer of the Connecticut Natlonal Guard, re. greg. and Brigadier General .

Dr. Squire said that he had experimented with 20 men and that it was found to be impossible to bring them back to life. He has officiated at the exccutions of 114 persons at Sing Sing. “At most of our autopsies we were able to produce fibral contraction of the heart by touching the wall with an instrument,” Dr. Squire said “and sométimes we can produce this for over an hour after death.. The injec- tion of a solution of adrentlin chlorate in the heart wall does not produce any contraction of the heartm uscle, 80 it can be seen that it is impossible to revive life by this means after electrocution.” Dr. Squire said he believed electro- cution to be more humane and certain than hanging, less painful “and cer- tainly lessghorrifying to witness by those engaged in the execution. Capital Punishment Fails “When one realizes,” he added, “that in the United States in 1922, with a population of about 110,000,- 000 people there were approximately 9,600 homicides and but .114- execu- tions, whereas in Great Britain and Wales with approximately 40,000,000 people there were but 63 murders we cannot help but fecl that capital pun- ishment has not been the detetrent factor that its advocates hoped it would be.” He expressed the opinion that this might be due to the frequent long de- lays between the time of conviction and the execution. He thought that if juries were permitted, when render- il like Bran!
