ATTACKS PRESIDENTS
PLAN FOR PRIMARIES
Would Be Usurpation of States
Rights, Says Representa-
i've Volstead.
CITES CONSTITUTION CLAUSE

Representative Andrew ]. Volstead Of
Minnesota, ranking Republican member
of the House Committee on the Judic-
isry, made public a statement Yesterday
in which he attacked the constitutional
ity OF the proposal of President Wilson
that Congress shall enact a law provid-
ing for the nomination of Presidential
candidates in primaries. Such a law, in
the opinion of Mr.. Volstead. would
clearly be in usurpation of the rights Of
the States. Mr.. VOlstead insisted that
Congress might pass a law patterned
after President Wilson's recommenda-
ton, but he declared that mo State
would be bound to obey or recognize it"
Mr.. Volstead bases his conclusion on
that clause of the Constitution which
declares that leach State shall appoint,
in such manner as the legislature thereof
may direct, a number of electors equal
TO the whole number OF Senators and
Representatives to which the State may
be entitled in the Congress; but no
Senator or Representative, or person
holding an office of trust or profit under
the United States, shall be appointed an
elector."
In Mr.. Volsteads judgment the clause
quoted gives tC the States, and to the
States alone, the authority to provide
for the method of choosing electors.
ANY Federal statute that proposes to in
terfere with this right, Mr. Volstead
said, lis an unauthorized interference
with the constitutional prerOgatives of
the States"
IF il is desired TO secure Presidential
primaries the only way to get at it, in
nv Judgment. is by constitutional
amendment, which must be passed by
three-fourths of the States.'

The first parcel post Christmas is
approaching, and that is a significant
statement, especially in postoffice
circles.
Heretofore the mailman has been a
more important and a far harder
worked person than Santa Claus. But
if he has literally had his hands full'
in past Christmas seasons. pause and
think of what his job will be during
the coming Yuletide.
Heretofore, the postman has felt that
he was hard worked merely because he
had to stagger around from house to
house with big bag full of silk hand
kerchiefs, neckties, embroidery bags,
to the postal regulations. could not
weigh more than four pounds.
But this year his will be a different
taskS He may be called on to deliver
the prize turkey that will feed the
family and all the relatives, and which
may tip the beam as high as twenty
pounds This weight Limitation of the
first and second parcel post zones may.
therefore, include. beside the big COB
bier, a haunch of venison, a sucking
pig-with an apple in his mouth all
ready for the roasting-a couple of
geese, if your fancy happens to run in
that direction, a keg of apple cider, or
many other delectable and weighty ar
ticles of Christmas menus.
Big Gain Anticipated.
There viii be an increase of almost 70
per cent in the Christmas postoffice bust
ness this year. Extra trucks and extra
men are being gathered now for the
work
The substitute postmen will be able to
do extra work, as they are not under the
eight-hour provision. The regular post
men may work overtime as Christmas
approaches, and will receive a proportion

In spite of the extra preparations
made for handling the Christmas busi-
ness the postal authorities are making
a plea for early Christmas mailing"

in the case of Charles N. Chase, finan-
cisl secretary OF the Y. NJ. c. A.,

ton OF the grand jury
Auditors working on the books OF thu
Y. NJ. c. A. are expected TO complete
their investigation by tomorrow after

In the meantime the association has
made inquiries to learn if Chase has any
property upon which attachment proceed
ings can be instituted TO recover his al

Chase steadfasty has refused to dis
cGss the charge of embezzlement against

Chase's books will be turned over to Dis
trict Attorney Wilson's Office
Estimates placing the amount of short
age all the way to $4,000 have been made,
but the exact figure will not be made
