UPON REFERENDUM.
Two Candidates for Supreme Court
Named-Primary Plan
lndorsed.

Cedar Rapids, Ia, July 26.-IOwa
Democrats put the principles of the
initiative and referendum into prac.
tice, when, just before the adjourn
ment of the state convention, it was
decided unanimously to submit the
Progressive platform adopted to the
referendum vote of the rank and file
of the party.
In addition to the platform, the con-
nominating two candidates for the SUI
preme court-Maurice O'Connor of
Fort Dodge and John E. Craig of Lee

An attempt to inject the liquor
question into the debate over the

ment among the delegates for time,
and once threatened to cause the ref
erence of the resolutions to the COM
mittee, with instructions to include
plank on this subject.
With the declaration that Woodrow
Wilson is local optionist, Henry
Vollmer of Davenport moved to in

the platform. He created pandemon.
ium among delegates with an attack
upon what he termed the "cowardice
of the committee and the convention
on this subject"
Repeated attempts to howl him
down were futile and he was finally
heard. After much disorder the mo-
ton was tabled and the platform
adopted with few dissenting votes.
The platform favors the initiative
and referendum; direct nomination of
all officers through primary elections;
the presidential primary plan; de.
mands the election of national and
state committeeman by direct vote,
and that such committeeman assume
authority upon receipt of certificates
of election; favors government owner

A bright lady teacher found this to

says:
~TNo years agoI contracted a very
annoying form of Indigestion. My stom-
ach was in such condition that sim
pie breakfast of fruit, toast and egg
gave me great distress.

could come from such simple diet,

a year have held to this course and
have not suffered except when injudi-

II have been a teacher for several
years and find that my easily digest
ed breakfast means saving of nerv-

of ten pounds in weight also causes
me to want to testify to the value OF
Grape-Nuts.

NIGHT PAGEANT
 MARCH NINTH
Every Garage in the City will Contribute to the
 Prize List. Every Ma chine in the County . Should be in Line.

How many automobiles are there in Maricopa county? Nobody seems to know exactly, but Harry Welch says he expects to see at least 401 of them in line in the big automobile parade which will occur in this city Saturday evening March 9. He will be satiS- fled with no lesser number and refus- es to believe disappointment is pos Sible.
 C. J. McElroy and Harry Welch yes terday made a tour of the various garages and asked the managers if they would contribute prizes for the cars in the parade. Without excep- tion the responses were favorable. Ev- cry garage will contribute something. No one was asked to give money as it was decided that some article of utility for machine owners would be preferable. The prizes will probably consist Of auto horns. tires. tubes, lamps and other articles that every machine can utilize. The garege men will hold q meeting in the board of trade room Monday to decide upon what the prizes will be ani who will contribute them. so there will be no doubling and nothing desirable be lacking.
 Each garage has agreed to furnish a man to act as assistant marshal dur ing the parade, each having charge of one division of it. The committee in charge will send out letters next week to every automobile owner in the county whose names can be secured and it is not likely that many will be overlooked. If they are, let it be un- derstood now that they are just as welcome as though they had received dozen invitations.
 The parade will be divided into classes. some contesting for best dec orations. some for the most novel. some for the most grotesque. Many will not enter any of the contests but it is desired that every machine in the county be in line. if for no other reason. just to make a showing of the automobile strength of the county. With all these machines, the pushmo- piles and the novelty devices there should be parade two times and a half as long as several blocks, and then some.
 The parade it is expected will be reviewed by the governor, chief jus tice and mayor and will command at rention for a couple of hours, from 8 to To- From 10 to F o'clock there will be big garden party on Central avenue in front of the Hotel Adams. large consignment of music has been provided and there will be illum- ination regardless of any possible af- front to the moon and stars

 The same warning should be drive ] home everywhere. Even when stat utes do not declare this careless habi. a misdemeanor the moral criminality is none Ihe less clear. The New York
