San Francisco. July THE man

will be selected at a conference be-
tween Cox and members of the Demo-
cratic national committee either in
Dayton or Columbus, O., within two
weeks.
At. that time, after learning Cox's
wishes, the committee will elect a
chairman and other officers. General
belief is that Homer S. Cummings
present chairman of the Democratic
national committee, will be Coxs
choice TO direct the campaign. Cum
mings. however, declared today he is

else is available,
Cummings was directed to confer
with Cox as soon as he is to fix a date
for the meeting. A general demand
for putting the campaign under way
as soon as possible was expressed by
members OF the committee.
The meeting, which followed i'm
mediately after the adjournment OF
the convention, was the first attended
by new committee women. The
women now have equal representa-
ton and standing with men.

sThe Democratic party, on the other
hand, rejected every effort to modify
or qualify the presidents proposed
league of nations, erElorsed the presi-
dents attitude and took its position
in faver of the league as presented. 1t
is true that the Democrats, in efforts
to pIacate, say something about reser-
vations which might make clearer or
more specific the obligations of the
United States, but the language is
meaningless and does not at all alter
the essential position of the Demo-
cratic party for the leagues as pre-
senhed.
The tive parties. acted in similar
fashion in one respect but from diff
fereut4 motives and for different rea-
sons. Both re5eeted the pleas for
adoption of the league with reserva-
tions,, the Dem oeratts because they were
for the league as presented, and be-
cause no reservations devised by the
human mind could anticipate the con.
tingencies which might arise i'll the

potential possibilities for harm.

LOTS OF MEAT To THIS STORY.
Deputy Sheriff Found $3.50 Worth in
His Car, But Owner Called

When Oscar Carlson, deputy sher-
Tiff, returned to his Buick car which
he had parked on Kansas avenue be-
tween Eighth and Ninth streets Tues
day night, he found about $3.50 worth
of meat in the back seat.
Carlson inquired of nearby grocery
stores and then sat in the car for
nearly half an hour waiting for some
one to come along and claim the
valuable property. Not being in posi-
ton to wait longer, he went home.
Today it was reported to Green
grocery store and the police by Miss
Wilson, of Valencia, that $3.50 worth
of meat had been stolen from her car.
Carlson is at a loss whether to blame
Miss Wilson herself or one of the gro
Gerry clerks for putting her purchase
in his car.

OTTAWA, March 23.-In view of |
the questions that have been raised in |
the United States senate respecting
Canada S position within the British
Empire-questions which, in the minds
OF many in this country, challenge the
dominion S claim to national status-a
step taken in the Canadian parliament
this week will be of considerable in

Of vast significance to the British en-

taking by Canada of power to amend
her constitution ''in such particulars
as may be agreed upon as a result of
conference between the provincial and

legislatures of the different Provinces -
The minister of justice, Mr. Doherty.
somewhat surprised parliament and
the country by agreeing with Mr. King
and announcing that he had already
taken up the subject with the attorney
general Of the several provinces.
The implications of such a change
go to the roots of the relationship of
Canada to the imperial parliament and
above all, to the crown. For ever since
1873, when confederation was achieved
| and the British North America act
laid down as its charter and constitu-
ton, no amendment to ii, not even of
the most minor character, nor of the
most purely Canadian concern. could
be made without petition to the i'm
perial authorities.
Prof. o. H. SHELTON of Queen Is Uni
yersity, perhaps the leading Canadian
educationalist, author and economist.
and man whose loyalty to British

| ated a declaration by the dominion

adian constitution.
?. Emancipation from the legal
power of a British parliament to make
| laws for Canada and of a British gov
eminent to disallow Canadian laws.
3. Abolition of the appeal to the
! imperial privy council
4. Formal recognition of the power
to make treaties and appoint repre-
sentatives abroad, beginning with a
minister at Washington.

lament will 90 as far as Prof. SHELTON
