Tho chief topic of conversation hero today in tho lobbies of tho various ho tela and nt the headquarters of various, delegations is tho statement by Jonja min Ido Wheeler, president of the Uni versity of California, t lint tho vice presidency is not only a useless office, hut has come to he n real menace lo the States. j "In America," said President Wheel j er, "wo have outgrown the vice-presi- dency. At was all very well to hnve a vice-president fift or 70 years ago. This j speetnele of struggling over tho second place is a fine argument against the ex istence of the office. Tho squabbles are likely lo result in the placing of a weak mint in a position where death or accident, would mnke him the head of the nalion. The rule of succession which wo now have would bo equally ample with the vice-president left out. 1 It would result in stronger cabinets and there would be less likelihood of a weak successor to a strong president." - Lumbermen Ask Amendment.
