National party rules empower deposing bolters and direct primaries
Chicago June 21 The rules committee approved sweeping changes to the national committee governing the Republican Party. A "steam roller" amendment allows summary deposition of any member who bolts or refuses to support the party nominee, with the committee appointing a successor. An amendment recognizing direct primaries ties national nomination to state law elections, reducing state control over replacements and preserving the convention’s voting structure. Roosevelt faction plans a minority report seeking southern representation cuts and state autonomy over committee elections.

Roosevelt could delay action or call a new convention after Baltimore, as the credentials committee faced disputes over delegates. The convention planned a late nominating stage with possible independent effort if popular demand existed.
