    RIPON THE RIPON SOCIETY HAS MOVED. THE NEW ADDRESS IS: 1609 CONNECTICUT AVE., N. W. WASHINGTO~, D. C. 20009 )CTOBER 1, 1975 VOL XI, No. 19 50 CENTS POLITICS: THE GOP RIPON SOCIETY LOSES DELEGATE ALLOCATION SUIT The U.S.Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled September 30 against the merits of the Ripon Society's suit challenging the constitutionality of the delegate allocation formula ~or the Republican National Convention. In a 9-1 decision, the court split on issues of standil1g, "state action," and justiciability, but the majority agreed that the Republican Party had not violated the "equal protection" clause of the Fourteenth Amendment in the allocation of dele­ gates to the 1976 convention. The court~s action reversed an earlier decision favorable to the Ripon Society by the U.S District Court for the District of Columbia and ordered Ripon's suit dismissed. The court's action also reversed a string of favorable court rulings in Ripon's case which dated back to 1972 and which had been interrupted only by an unfavorable stay of execution by Supreme Court Justice Willi~ Rehn­ quist in 1972. Although some doubt was cast on the Ripon Society's standing in the suit, no such doubt was cast in the majority decision on the standing of the eight individual plaintiffs in the suit. The Ripon Society has now taken under consideration a petition for a writ of certiorari f:rom the Supreme Court. Such a petition to call up the case for Supreme Court attention would be neces­ sary for further court action.
