Lost AH States But Two; Democratic Communities Still Stronger. Th southern atatai, from which Ilia Republican parly can expect no aleclural vole, may determinr tha nomlnea of the Kama City convantion, according to " Politics'' a national magaxlne. Tha article Com on to aay: That there will be a hlttar fight in the convention for delegate! from Mate la certain. aeveral aouthi-Uf the ten atate sure to give their electoral vutea to the Itemocratlc nominee five are almost certain to produce contest for acallng delegate In the Republican convention. All of the five tatea have leen confidently and certainly claimed by the Hoover camp, yet It la likely he will get none of them. Of the five, one la irrevocably againat hint, and In the other the delegation will be split or are uncertainly for him. The same la tru of Tenneaaee, a border atate. All of which ban cauaed many Republican to revive Uiacuaalnn of further curtailing the representa-tioof aouthern atate in the national convention. In 113 vote from th aouthern atate were uised to bring ahout the renomlnatlon of I'realdeut Taft in dlaregard Of the wiahea of a aertinn of tha pnrty In place where the Republican elecvote were uaually received In toral election. A a reult uf thin nomination the party wna ao badly apllt that the Republican carried only two atatee Vermont and I'lah with eight electoral Vote. 1. O. I. Take Aillon. In order to end nunilnallona ly atiite the Republican changed their ayaem of apportionment, cutting the number of aouthern convention delegatea by about 75 and ralalng tha number In northern, eastern and western delegates by about 115. Tha ayatem used ha about the aame remain a the two thirds rule in tho Democratic party to prevent the stHtea not voting for the party in the election from having a decisive vote In the convention. Under the present system one delegate la given to rach congressional district a the natural right of thul district. An additional delegate is given each district raating more than 10.000 Republican vote. In addition to th'a three delegates at large are given each slut that went Republican in tha previous n le elect Ion. South Mum No IiUTrav. Southern states have shown no Increase In the Repubtlran vote In more thnn thirty yenr. Texas, the largest and most western of the solid south group tarnishes an Illustration. Although Its population has practically doubled and women have been given the vote the Republican party wa weaker In Texas In 1034 than in 1886. In 1131 Bryan received 511.334 votes in Texas and McKinley a Democratic majority of 302,. 31. In 1024 Davis received 414.105 15X.-10- 4, votes In Texas to 110.031 for a Democratic malority of 354.-ri- l. It Is such disappointing showings as this which cause Republican to despair of making gain In the south. Texas, as big as 312 Rhode Islands, and with manv time Its population, casts no more votes than Little Republican Rhoily. There would he no alarm about the 141 Kansas t'lt.v convention d Demovote of such cratic states as Texas. Alabama, Arkansas. Flirlda, (ieorgia, Louisiana. Mississippi. North Carolina. South Carolina and Virginia were their convention votes divided so as to balance and not be decisive. The danger, as party leader see It. Is that they may Jump to one man and bring ubont his nomination and rause revolt Just n the Taft nomination did In 1913. The general idea is that tln southern deleg lies should so divide their votes that Republican state will be decisive In rhnu!ng the nominee. But If it should turn out that these 141 rnnvrntlioi votes, coming from g territory which never rusts a Republican electoral vote and. indeed. front whlrh there Is only one Wur- eongressman Republican bach of Texas a loud explosion mav be beard from the general direction of Kansns City In June.

The election of a negro as a member of Congress from Chicago would put one of that race In congress fur the first time from any district In the North. And Herbert Hoover's overtures to the negroes are setting tongues wagas to what ging In speculation might happen should Hoover by any chance lie elected president, und a negro represent an Illinois district In congress. Although the Democratic candidate to succeed the late Representative Martin H. Madden of Illinois Is white, he is given no rhunce to defeat Oscar De Driest, the negro nnmeil by the Republicans as the one fur Madden's congressional seat. It is regarded as a foregone conclusion that De Driest will he the next congressman from Madden's old district, and.
