National Convention in Prospect.

The Republican National Committee
will meet at Washington December 10
and may call National Convention to
be held early next Spring. 1t is doubt
full whether the Natioal Committeeman
will assume to determine how dele
gates to the National Convention ol
1916 shall be selected, or on what
basis states may be represented, as
there is now such a widespread de-
mand for changes in methods Of select
ing delegates and in the basis Of repre-
sentation.
IfaN National Conventioal is called
by the National Committee a nation
wide campaign for contTol Of it will be
inaueurated at once and the party will
have a lively contest on hand. New
York having started the movement for
a change in party rules the issue can
not be avoided. 1t is reported on
good authority, that a majority of the
National Committee now favor a call
for a National Convention to be held
before the Congressional and Senatorial
campaigns Of next year open. In a
number Of states candidates for United
States Senator and for Congress will be
nominated in the Spring. Several
States will elect Senators this year.
One Of the main issues involved in
the demand for National Convention
is the proposition that National com
mitteemen shall assume authority
Immediately alter their election, and
thus have charge of the National con-
vention, though it is also proposed
that the Temporary roll Of convention
shall include only the names OF dele
gates certified by state authority or by
the authority OF a state party conven'
tion. This would obv.ate interminabie
quarels over credentials Of district
delegates and transfer troublesome and
dangerous contentious from the Nation
al Committee to State Committees, or,
in States selecting delegates by primary
election TO State authorities. A de-
termined fight will be made for the
selection Of delegates by the primary
election method, which has been
adopted by several Of the larger Re-
publican States.

The democratic party after opposing
for sixty yeaas the idea Of a centralized
banking system, now proposes a system
Of banks controlled by appointees OF
the president but owned By banks COM
PEELED by law to subscribe the capital
stock. These centralized banks are
to re-discount the paper Of the banks
owning them, and are to issue paper
currency payable by the government.
1t may be a good scheme but it is GER
tainly not in harmony with what the
democrats have been preaching about
the banking business since the oldest
democratic leaders Of to-day were boys
at school.

ing machinery creased sup and work
Ing like a steam engine. Time after
time the back field got into action,
and once started it was not long be-
fore the defense was foiled and the
ball planted across the line for a try.
Goal kicking with the New zea-

was expected. True. yesterday there
was wind blowing across the field,
but this should not have accounted
for the large number of goals that
were missed.

EASY FOR PALO ALTO
Prior to the New Zealand and Santa

ment. which resulted in the Palo Alto
team getting the best of the decision
by final score of "a to 5. The
game was one of the best high school
games seen here this season. and was
not a one sided contest. as the score
indicates.
PaIo Alto has fast team and has
taken to heart the lessons taught
them last week by the New Zealand
ers. Berkeley held the peninsula boys
splendidly for the first half, and dur
ing this period there was little to
choose between the teams.
Berkeley came out in the second
half determined to break the ice and
managed to do better. but after that
the crossbay town boys fell away
somewhat and allowed Palo Alto to
get their backs into action. which
was the start Of the finish.
