If the result should be close that advantage will be more than likely to secure him the nomination.
The National Committee prepares the roll of the delegates to the Convention, and, in doing so, it decides primarily every contested seat.

If the contests thus decided should give any one candidate a majority, that majority will be sure to retain the advantage thus secured.

It will thus be seen that if any change is necessary this is the place where it should first be made.

It occurs to me that instead of changing the basis of representation the most effective remedy for the evils now complained of is to have the delegates to National Conventions elected at popular primaries, instead of by State and district conventions..
