DEMOCRATIC MEETING
HAS BEEN CALLED OFF

The proposed state conference Of
democrats, to agree on a., state ticket.
is on. Those who have been active
IN the movement today admitted that
the conference will not take place be-
cause of opposition which has devel-
oped toward any attempt to dictate
the action Of voters in the coming
primary. The question had been put
up to D. D. DAILY. state chairman. who
returned yesterday from a business
trip. He conferred with Fred B.
Lynch, and afr the talk it was given
out that there will be no conference.
1t is probable. however. that Mr..
DAILY will call the state committee to-
gether and ask authority to create a
legislative committee, charged with
the special task of getting strong
democrats to file for the house in
every legislative district in the state.
such a committee will be made up
partly Of state committee members
and partly Of democratic members of
the legislature. The heads of the par
~ organization take the position that
they have no right to interfere where
candidates have filed for an office. but
that 1t is proper to move toward get
ting candidates in the field where the
field is vacant. e

terrain Big Crowds
More Special Trains.

Directors of the Grand Forks Agri-
cultural society, who met last evening
to make a survey Of the general situa-
ton as bearing upon the big fair of
next week expressed entire satisfac.
ton with the outlook. and they are alb.
solutely confident hat Grand Forks
will have n of the biggest fairs that
has ever been held in the state.
Grand Forks need have no fear b':t
what it's reputation as the place where
they hold good fairs will be maintain.
ed" said President Goodman at the
close of the meeting. AT the present
time, our plans are SO we'll matured
that l have no hesitation in declaring
that, with good weather next week
we will give the people of the north
west n of the finest shows they have
ever seen on a fair grounds.
Our entry lists are filling rapidly
u horse racing promises to be de-
cidedly fast. and the line of attrac-
tions is of the highest order.
The cattle and horse she's will be
particularly fine. There will be many
new exhibitors his year, and that fact
will add considerable to the interest in
both departments. Also, the new
methods of handling the departments
will have a beneficial effect in the mat
ter OF maintaining interest.
The fair management is very fort
innate n the fact that it has been able
to place a number of men at the heads
Of the various departments wn., are
thoroughly capable Of handling the
work. They all have had considerable
experience in the different depart
ments, and each year the exhibitors
are becoming better pleased with their
treatment at the hands of these de-
ma chjafe That fort hoe 20
suited in their return from season to
season, and the addition of new num-
bers.
The Barkoot shows which will be a
part of h fair have been pronounced
as the very best carnival attractions
we have ever had, and the various
other special attractions that have
been engaged. will make the show
complete.
Reports from the various towns
and cities in northern North Dakota
and northwestern Minnesota indicate
that we will have some great crowds
here next week. We are prepared to
care for all, and are absolutely certain
of giving them the best fair entertain
ment ever provided"
From now on it will be hard work
for everybody. The directors will be-
come actively engaged in caring for
the various details that still remain
to be disposed Of, and when the gates
for the big fair open next Tuesday
morning, all will be in readiness for
the entertainment Of the visitors.
Plan for Public Safety.
At last evenings board meeting
plans were adopted for public safety.
The automobile traffic at the grounds,
which will be unusually heavy, will be
governed through rules which will
permit car drivers to operate their
machines only in one direction on the
main drive. all cars entering the
grounds at the main entrance. and
leaving by h western exit. That
does away with the possibility of acct
dents on the drive, where hundreds of
cars. passing to and fro every hour,
have created a dangerous condition in
other years.

NO JEWISH POWER
 EXCEPT RELIGIOUS

Baltimore, April 15.--rhe central confer- ence of American rabbls at its session here today passed a resolution which In effect discountenanced all movements which represent the Jews as a power other than a religious sect
 The Jewish political clubs, Jewish sut- fraglsts the Kihllah society, the Zionist movement and other organizations were mentioned in tho debate although the speakers made 1t clear that their condem- nation of these organizations were merely meant because in the words of the reso- luton we discountenance the movement toward the formation of Jewish communi- ties on other than the religious basis
 The matter was brought up by the com mittee on church and state. whose rA port contained this clause:
 'Inasmuch as we are unqualihedly com- mitted to the total separation of church and state we discountenance the move- ment toward the formation of Jewish communities on other than the religious basis because 1t tends to create the im- precision that the Jews are an imperium in imperio.'
 Intermarriage is on the decline accord ing to figures compiled by the committee on social and religious union.
