Col. Holabird's letter is as follows:
Dear Mr.. Wilson.-Snce the confer

have been thinking much about the
Land Show. There isn't any question in
my mind as to the benefit the state of
California and the Pacific coast generally

the great object lessons possible to give

GERMAN ARMY BUDGET LARGER

[BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS
BERLIN, Dec. 2S.-Nith the elections
set for two weeks from tomorrow, the So
cialists have been provided with more
ammunition by the publication
of the imperial budget for 1872 which
shows considerable increase over last
year.
The main item of increase is for the
army. The total expenditure is given as
$704 $40, ,750, an increase of $14,5l6, 750.
The army expenditure is $196, ,626, 900, an
increase of over ten million dollars over
this year. On the navy S114,353 $50 is to
be spent during 1872, which is practically
the same as this year. The naval nom
recurrent expenditure shows an increase
of S6,3S5. 500, but the extraordinary eX-
penditure for the navy is decreased by
more than three and q half millions of
dollars.
Socialist leaders expect Il tremendous
increase in their vote next month and the
campaign managers of other parties admit
the claim The tremendous expenditure
of Germany for military purposes is be-
coming more and more unpopular and the
German people, millions of whom are on
the verge of privation are likely to reg
lister their dissatisfaction at the polls.

mary in that state next spring. The
Democratic state convention in Missouri,
at which Speaker Clark presided declared
that the states delegation in 1912 should
be for ex- Governor Folk for president and
Senator James A. Reed declares that this
must be carried out. On the other hand,
Senator Stone and Speaker Clark feel that
a majority of Democrats of the state want
Clark as their candidate for president and
so the struggle is now ON to bring about
the Democratic presidential preference

A movement which is expected to have
d far reaching effect on the retail trade
in New York, and which has political
backing, has just been started under the
name of the Housewives League, and
promises to grow rapidly. The principal
object of the new league is to have en-
forced the health laws regarding sanitary
conditions, the pure food laws and the CIV
ing of fair weight. This is to be accom-
plished, not SO much by appealing to the
departments charged with enforcing the
law, but by making every woman an in
spector. Active members are housewives
and others who are buyers of food prod
ucts. These pay cents annually. Assoc
ciate members take no active part in the
buying and pay 81 a year; sustaining
members pay 81 a year or more during
