st. Paul, Feb. 5.-Among the ten
resolutions adopted ny the Democratic
state convention was ample indorse
ment of President Wilson and his adj
ministration. The Endorsement was
made in the following terms:
I'VE congratulate the country upon
the splendid administration of Wood
row Wilson.
Under the most trying circum-
stances in the worlds history, he has
steadfastly worked for the cause of
peace, and, without yielding any we'll

HE has indicated the rights of
neutrals on the seas, he has adhered
to the best traditions of his high Of

with such signal fidelity, ability, fair
ness and effectiveness, that he has
won the confidence and affection of
the American people, regardless Of
political affiliations.

COUNTY OPTION LAW IS VALID
MINNESOTA STATUTE UPHELD BY
SUPREME COURT.
Does Not Conflict with Home Rule
Charter Provisions of the

st. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 5.-Miunesota' S
county option law is valid and does
not conflict with the home rule charter
provisions of the state constitution,
the state supreme court has ruled in
an opinion written by Commissioner
M. d. Taylor. The opinion sustains
Judge w. S. McClenahan of Brainerd,
who enjoined the mayor and council
of International Falls from issuing sa-
loon licenses, which they contemplated
doing in spite of the fact that Koochi-
ching county had voted dry.
Attorneys for the city claimed that
cities with home rule charters had
constitutional right to handle the
liquor question for themselves. The
supreme court rules that when a coun-
ty votes dry, the power to issue Ii
censes is withdrawn from every NUM-
cipality in the county. A decision
against the law would have restored
saloons to many cities in the state.
The court is unanimous in the decision

DANGERS IN APPAM PROBLEM
OFFICIALS BELIEVE COURSE WILL
BECOME PRECEDENT.
Case Threatens to Involve Fundamen-
tai Questions at Issue Between
America and Germany.

| Washington, Feb. 5. = The Appam
case has broadened out, becoming a
complex, and possibly far-reaching sit
uation, threatening to affect some of the
fundamental questions of naval war
fare at issue between the United
States and Germany.
For that reason it was not finally
decided whether the ship should be
returned to her British owners under
The Hague convention, or held the fair
prize of her German captors under the
Prussian-American treaty, although
the indications remained that the lat
ter course would be followed.
To Test Contention.
Officials are said to realize that their
construction of the Prussian-American
treaty in this case undoubtedly will
come up as precedent at some other
time during the war.
British officials charge that the APP
pam was brought to Hampton Roads
for the purpose of testing the sound
ness of Germany's original contention
that the sinking of prizes is a neces-
sary incident to naval warfare. To
Offset that contention, however, is the
German claim that the Prussian-Ameri-
can treaty guarantees the prize safe to
her captors.
British Seamen Released.
Another result which threatens to
confront the United States, should it
decide to recognize The Hague con-
ventfon instead of the Prussian-Ameri-
can treaty is that Germany might con-
slider herself thus relieved of the
treaty obligations which the United
States is contending to enforce
The situation was cleared of some |
Of it's complexities. however, by the |
release of the IL British seamen whom |
he German commander was inclined |
20 hold as prisoners of war.
This leaves only the question of dis
position of the Appam and there is
every indication the state department
will choose its steps cautiously with
for the future.
