Reform and Southern Representation in 1912 GOP Contest
A critical examination of James K. Watson and the national committee's role in the 1912 Republican convention. It argues Watson pushed for southern representation reform in 1908 but failed to act in 1912, while the national committee pursued expedient reapportionment and upholds party establishment over genuine reform. The piece notes widespread contests and abuses in primaries and conventions beyond the South, including Indiana.
