against the leaders OF the anti prohi-'

items up FOR open consideration of
the convention the democratic county
gathering at Grand Island, Neb,,
astcfted an endorse nent Of both the

This action becomes especially In
tereSting at this t-fUe as II shows the
lost grip OF the German elements
in Nebraska which was known in the
last Legislature as the Htndenburg
line. Nebraska Will now go ahead in
the campaign this fall both at the pri-

not undsr the domination of the Ger

liberty advocates.
In the Republican convention the
matter Of ratification was adopted
unanimously. The best friends of the
Democratic party in that section ex-
nectpa nothing else but the presenta-
ton and endorsement of a ratification
resolution in their convention. But
when the pre-arranged resolutions
were submitted absolutely no menuoa
was made of ratification or woman suf-
frage.
The fight for booze was led by f.

there were million and half SOL

the action OF the committee and called

the Republicans had already endorsed
ratification and women suffrage, IT
Washton wanted TO keep the matter
out Of the campaign argument then
The only way to do was 10 endorse

PRESIDENT CANNOT
TAKE Street CARS
Mayor OF New Orleans Wants Federal
Authorities to Control City
Electric Railway.

Washington, Aug. 13,--preSident
Wilson ruled today that state authori-
tits should take the necessary steps to
remedy difficulties arising with cleo
Itrlc railways and lighting companies.
In answer TO an appeal from Mayor
Martin r. Behrman, of New Orleans,
for assistance in settling the street
railway difficulties in that city, a mes
sage was sent from the White House
announcing that the federal govern
ment was without authority to act.
The message said.
Mayor Martin Behrman: The presi-
dent asks me to acknowledge your i'm
portant telegram of yesterday and to
express his opinion that as the exist
ing law is interpreted, the federal
government has no power to take over
electric railways and lighting COM
panies
The conditions under which such
companies operate in different parts
of the country vary by so wide a va.
Ration that no common rule. II would
appear or method of relief could be
applied to them and it Is the presi-
dents judgment that il Is imperatively
necessary that local and state au-
thorities should take the action neces-
sary for immediate relief.
fSignedl JOSEPH TUMULTY
The difficulty in operating electric
railways and lighting companies
owing to war conditions has resulted
in applications being made by several
cities TO have the properties taken
over by the federal government All
such requests were referred to the at
