de egates to national political con-
yentions, where candidates for
President and Vice President are to
be named and in like manner for
the election of national committee

tor l.. Y. Sherman of Illinois.
The purpose of the bill is to me-
clude the possibility OF a repetition
of occurrences at the Republican
National convention, in Chicago, last
June, when the Taft organization
threw out delegates elected under
state laws, which laws did not hap
pen to agree with the rules and
regulations formulated by the Re-
pub lean committee
My bill is in accord with the
Democratic and Progressive plat
forms, which declared for the adop-
tion and recognition of primary
laws" said Senator Sherman today.
THE Republican party side-stepped
the proposition.
The bill provides that the nation
al conventions OF the various par
ties shall be held on the third Mon
day in June OF every fourth year,
beginning in 1916. 7
Any political organization which
at the last preceding election nomi-
mated candidates for President and
Vice President and cast S per 4cent
of the total number of votes shall
be deemed political party.

1t is also reported that the job OF
city attorney will not prove to be
the sinecure in the future that IL
has been in the past Instead OF
drawing $50 per month and Is per
cent. of all fines co lected with no
work or appearance in cases, the
city attorney under the new regime
will be paid a commission only
where he appears in the case and
the fines are collected.
1t is said that patrolman will
be assigned to the duty of being an
active health officer and license in

Washington, May %, Probably
as the result OF anxiety in official

OF the emperor no instructions have
been received at the japanese en-
bassy to make expected further rep
resentation TO the United States
government regarding the Califor-

The embassy is engaged in col

ter relates principally to the phase
of the negotiations touching upon
the conditions between the Califor-
MIA state law and treaty to foreign
Officials, the broader question OF
policy.
Legal proceedings of some sort
seem to be Indicated in that both
parties desire to use this means oi
settlement OF the issue and the ques-
tion apparently hinges upon which
side shall make this test.
The new act will not go into eff
feet until August 10 before which
date it would not be possible tc
bring suit and for that reason the
negotiations appear to be losing
some OF the features that character.

Washington, May 23.--The news

to the State Department that the
Japanese contention Is satisfied or

On the other hand, Ambassador
Chinda has been told by his govern

satisfactory and that he must press
for settlement upon Japan's
theory of the case
Whatever reserve OF diplomacy
surrounds the delivery of the mes
sage its purpose is quite clear. Ths
japanese foreign office has assured
the American charge at Toxic that
due consideration will be given TO
President Wilson's arguments con-
cernlng the complexities of our state
and national government Not
withstanding this 1t can be said on
the highest authority that Japan
will insist upon holding the United
States to its treaty obligations and
win consistently demand that all
discrimination be removed.
Attacks States Rights.
The Japanese foreign office, Ii Is
understood, sharply attacked the
states rights plea of the American
government. The Mikado resents, in
diplomatic way, the attitude of the
administration in attempting tc
justify California's action on the
states right theory. 1t claims that
the treaty of 1911 lays upon oul
national government the burden oil
enforcing the stipulations tn the
convention.
