There is heated contest on at the
conference, and il is understood that
Mr.. Benkert and local representatives
of the party are combating the move
ments of Mr.. Struble, who was former
ly secretary of the party.
Mr.. Benkert explains that he was
authorized at St. Louis, as national
chairman of the party. TO appoint the

and to have custody of the party's Off

Women Enjoy II.

Eighty per cent OF the spectators at
the dog feasts held at the Ieorrote
village at the Lewis and Clark expo
sition are said to be women. They
seem to delight In witnessing the
butchery, and when the young Igor
rote chieftain who does the killing
applies his knife TO the dogs throat
they crowd around as close as they
can get TO the scene Of action, fairly
frantic To see the red blood flow.
The greater part Of the visitors to
the village thus far have been women,
and the attendants say IL has always
been thus. At ST. Louis, whenever
a dog feast was TO be given, women
were always in the majority. The
attendants here are fairly besieged
with requests from women, hiehl,
educated and dainty. who ask thai
they be notified when the next feast
Is held. In order that they may b,
there.
