thereafter being appropriated by the
~colonists. The first printed version OF
the song is found in Walsh's collection

COMMITTEE HAS NO
LEGAL AUTHORITY

Detroit, Mich, Dec. 5.-The republi-
can national committee has no author
ity to change the basis of representa-
tion and voting in national conven-
tiOns.
The national committee has author
ity to change the manner and method
Of choosing delegates to future nation
al conventions so as to provide that
delegates be chosen In such manner as
the laws of the several states from
time to time may provide. Delegates
shall be chosen according to the laws
of the state they represent instead of
according to the discretion of the COM
mittee itself.
The national committee has the
authority to call a special national
convention of the party, the legal form
of which call is provided by the legal
committee.
These conclusions are reached in an
opinion made public here yesterday by
Charles B. Warren of Detroit, chair
man of the legal committee, appointed
ty the executive committee of the re-
publican national committee.
