SLAP At SHOUSE
Kansas Democratic Delegates
Take Power From Chairman.
Ignore His Call for Special
Meeting at Caucus.
(By Staff Correspondent

Los Angeles, Calf. June 25.-Kan-
sas delegates to the Democrat national
convention have taken the power
from Jouett Shouse, chairman of the
delegation, at special caucus aboard
the Kansas car. Delegates voted to
meeting of the delegates. They then
called a meeting of which Shouse will
receive formal notice. Delegates
aboard the special were openly peeved
when Shouse sent them kilograms
asking that they support Carter Glass
for the presidential nomination.
Most of the delegates were for
McAdoo. Their second choice seems
to be Cox.
One thing is sure, Shouse cannot
deliver the delegation. Action of the
delegation in setting aside the Shouse
meeting is accepted as evidence of open
war among the delegates. Shouse is
not with the party which left Kansas
on a special car. His efforts to con-
troll the delegation resulted in threats
to ask his resignation as chairman.
This action was side-tracked by George
Hodges. 1t was Hodges. tho. who
presided at the meeting setting aside
the Shouse call. The meeting has
been called for the Palace hotel Sat
urday.
Delegates voted to hold all meetings
at their headquarters in the Lanker-
SHIN. The first meeting will be held
Friday afternoon. 1t is not known
whether Shouse will recognize the new
call and in that event a new chairman
may be elected. Shouses statement
regarding President Wilson's health
has caused much criticism. Kansas
delegates felt such a statement should
have been made from other sources.
The move to clip the Kinsley mans
wings is in an effort to prevent pos
sible attempts by Shouse to direct the
Kansas Platform policy and its vote
on candidates. Sam Amidon. national
committeeman, may be included in the
Bourbon row. A special committee
was named to distribute convention
! tickets. This power ordinarily belongs
to the committeeman. The move
may force a Shouse-Amidon align
ment against the Hodges crowd.

Are Lobbying Hard.

San Francisco, June 25.-An Irish
plank will be adopted by the platform
committee of the Democratic national
convention, according to plans of lead

900 Says Statistician.

Washington. June 25.-The popula-
ton of continental United States is
estimated at los, 5,000,0 900 by ]. A. Hill,
chief statistician of the census bureau.
His calculation is based on the COM
bined populations of 1.406 cities and
towns for which statistics have been
announced. The increase over 1910 is
placed at about 100000, showing
the growth of the country has not
kept pace with previous decades.
Almost complete cessation of immi-
grafton during the war is the chief
reason assigned for the falling off
Other suggestions were the two in

MAKES IT MILITARY ALLIANCE

New York, June 25.-Earliest pos
sible ratification of the German peace
treaty. after elimination of Article 10.
and adherence to the League of Ma
tions, as the platform upon which the
Republican party should stand in the
presidential campaign, was urged by
Herbert Hoover in a statement pub
lished by the New York Evening Post
today.
Hoover advocated the league as "a
product of the liberal class of the
world" declaring that in such an or
ganization there was no place for any
threat of military force such as is i'm
piled in the present Article 10.
Hoover urged the Republican party
to take a definite stand for ratifica-
ton of treaty without Article 10, in or
der to force the Democratic party into
the position of defending "a practical
military alliance-upon which their
safety devices only further endanger
the real value of the league"
Would Eliminate Article Y.
Article 10, which Hoover would
eliminate, states that members of the
league will undertake to preserve the
territorial integrity of member ma
tions.
Hoover said there was nothing in
the phraseology of Article 10 consti-
tuting a binding obligation, but de-
clared there is an implication that
a party has generally come to be re-
garded as constituting a strong moral
esponsibility."
He said the real cause of dissension
regarding the league was whether the
United States should commit itself to
guarantee the territorial integrity of
foreign states and to use it's military
resources to carry out the leagues de-
cisions. This, he said. was the funda-
mental question around which the
forthcoming election would be fought.
THE essential things about the
league covenant that commend 1T IL
me-" he said, "are. first, its recogni-
ton that wars have their springs
chiefly in misunderstanding and it;
