GOP unity under debate as plan favors small states
In Miami Beach Republicans showcased a mild intra party clash over a 1976 delegate allocation that favors small states. After a 910-434 roll call, leaders quickly embraced unity though Massachusetts Republicans vow court action post election. The Ripon Society condemns the plan as violating one man one vote. Gov. Milliken urged staying the course despite controversy. The frigate bird stands about half a hen with a seven foot wingspan.

Illinois delegation could grow for 1976 convention
Illinois could send up to 102 delegates to the 1976 Republican National Convention, nearly twice the 54 or so this year, if the state wins presidential, gubernatorial, Senate and a majority of congressional contests. Senator Charles Percy backed the compromise plan tying bonus delegates to states winning electoral votes, while Gov. Ogilvie opposed the amendment. Delegates gathered in Miami Beach heard administration speakers led by John Volpe discuss federal projects including a St. Louis metropolitan airport. John Wayne and Ruth Lee accompanied the Illinois delegation, who will return by charter flight Thursday.
