The GOP rules committee voted 9289 a tie vote broken by the chairman to require that any delegates elected to the National Convention must be chosen by majority vote of the 1976 State delegates at this convention. The vote is viewed as a definite victory for President Ford supporters, and he is not likely to get all of the 18 at-large delegates to be selected tomorrow night and earlier rule would have provided that the top 18-volt gutters on a single bout it be elected National delegates. This would have given the Reagan supporters a chance to get perhaps as many as six of those delegates Reagan supporters in the rules committee argued strongly that their forces should be represented in the makeup of the national delegation. They comprise a sizable minority of delegates to this convention, perhaps as much as 45% They warned of party dissension that many Reagan supporters at work hard for the party and that their dissatisfaction might hurt GOP chances to win some State Legislative races in Minnesota those back in the majority position argued that since majority rule governed.Selection in six of seven District Conventions the same ought to apply to the state beating the rules committee vote will certainly lead to a long possibly bitter argument on the floor this evening when the rules come up for final adoption. This is Bob Potter.
