It is the fairest, safest, best, and most equitable plan that can be devised or adopted.
Under this plan or system, no State, section or locality can gain or lose representation in any party convention through the application of extraneous or questionable methods, either by the action of the government or of a political party.

The representation in Congress and in the different State Legislatures, which is based upon population, fixes the representation from each State in the different National Conventions and in many of the State Conventions.

Any other plan or system,--especially that which is based upon the number of votes cast for the candidates of the party as officially ascertained and declared,--would have a tendency to work serious injustice to certain States and sections.

In fact, it would have a tendency to sectionalize the party by which the change is made.
Under the present system, for instance, Pennsylvania and Texas have the same representation in a National Democratic Convention that they have in a National Republican Convention, although one is usually Republican in National elections and the other Democratic.

And why should not the representation from those States be the same in both conventions?
Why should Texas, because it is believed to be safely Democratic, have more power and influence in a Democratic Convention on that account than the Republican State of Pennsylvania?
The answer may be because one is a Democratic and the other a Republican State--because one can be relied upon to give its electoral votes to the candidates of the Democratic party while the other cannot.
