lively session last night at the Grand
Pacific hotel. at which time it elected
H. H. Perry of Glendale, chairman
and John B. Fried Of jamestown vice
chairman.
There was spirited fight on the
resolutions, especially on the prohi-
bition and woman's suffrage planks.
About SO members were present.
Chairman Macarthur presiding, and
Secretary Fred Mclean assisting. The
credentials committee reported first,
and there was a lively time over the
seating Of M. A. Hildreth. the Casey
forces keeping up fight for ]. w.
McHose.
Hildreth Forces Win.
1t was charged that the precincts
committee vote was a tie because one
Of the mon In the committee room
had no business there. and that this
necessitated the drawing Of ballots for
position. Mr.. Hildreth spoke at
in stirring TN contention over the
place. The final vote was a victory
for Hildreth, rs to IA. This Is con-
sidered the first victory for Hildreth
over the Casey forces. the men being
competitors for the office Of United
States district attorney.

ated for chairman. but it was con-
tended that Fried had expressed him
name remained in nomination. never-
theless, and final vote was 30 1-2 to

tion for Mr.. Macarthur.

jeot Of extended debate. which waxed
warm at times Tho principal argu-
ment was; over the second clause
which had to do with the proposition
that the party's candidates. II elected,
would strictly enforce every law.
Prohibition is Bone.
This was understood to have par
ticular reference to prohibition, and
was construed by some to be- ''strad-
ding the question. It was hold that
the. party should either endorse or
condemn prohibition IN an unquali-
fed manner. or leave out the plank.
The argument was great and most
heated, the principal participants be-
ing Frank A. Wilson. M. A. Hildreth.
Senator Purcell and Frank Hellstrom.
Objections to the clause were finally
withdrawn. when the latter two men
stated that they. who are principally
concerned in the coming election, fay.

REICHSTAG PASSES BUDGET PRO-

FOR WAR.

Berlin, Aug. 4-This has been the
greatest war day that the German en-
pire has ever known. Twice on Tues
day Imperial Chancellor DR.. Won
Bethman-Hollweg issued formal decla-
rations of war, and once came news
that another nation had declared war
on Germany.
Early in the day there came from
the imperial palace a notification that
Emperor William had been given the
support of the reichstag by the pass
age of a $1,250,000,0O0 war fund, and
that war had been declared against
France.
Great Demonstrations Held.
When this news swept over the city
thousands of persons began to parade.
Bands were at the heads of the pro-
cessions and thousands of voices
men, women and children-sent heav-
onward the notes of Germany's fam
Gus songs, ode Wacht am Rhine"
Never before was the song sung with
more fervor and reverence.
"War with France has been de-
clared," were the words which swept
through every household in the city.
Everywhere the people rushed out to
the streets. Almost instantly the
crowds surged toward the royal pal
ace to cheer the kaiser.
"on to Paris" Resounds.
The fervor of patriotism for the IA
therland was still at white heat when
it became known that proclamation
had been issued against Belgium.
This brought forth new wave of pat
riotism.
All day long the excitement of war
ran rife and every one of the streets
was filled with people.
Late in the day came news that the
German army had succeeded in enter
ing France at three different points.

Joins Triple Entente.
Belgium has modified her army and
virtual state of war exists between
that country and Germany. That
places Belgium on the side of the tri-
pie entente.
Little Holland, with an army of
100 900, is likely to be drawn into the
war as an ally of England because of
the invasion of her territory by Ger
many.
Sweden has made no answer to in
quiries from Russia and Germany re-
garding her attitude, but is preparing
to defend her neutrality.
Japan May Assist England.
Japan is making ready to live up to
her alliance with Great Britain in the
event of an attack by Germany upon
the British possessions in the far east.
The vital Importance of Belgium IN
this war lies in the fact that unless
Germany may move across Belgian
territory, neutralized by treaty, an in
vasion of France would have to be
through the heavily fortified French
frontier proper.
The entire northeastern frontier OF
France is, roughly, 440 miles in length.
For a distance of about $50 miles this
frontier line separates France from
Belgium and Luxembourg. The remain
der, about 100 miles, separates France
from German territory.
