to demand home rule for cities
and corrupt practices law were
laid on the table by the repub-
lican state convention in stormy
session at the Elks' temple
Thursday afternoon.
These planks in the state plat

a lively fight on the floor of the
convention, during which Lieut..
Gov. Hart of Tacoma was loudly
! Missed.

1t was a conventional win the
war platform that was finally
adopted, as framed by the plat
form committee.
1t demanded vigorous prose-
cution of the war without stint
or limit" and pledged unquali-
fled support to the government.
1t declared that partisan
politics must be driven out and
| kept out of war management"
and called for the dismissal
from places of responsibility of
all pacifists, dreamers and boil
sheviki.'
National prohibition and wom-
an suffrage were approved, as
well as a 'forward-stepping pro-
gram for labor" Strict economy
in state expenditures and the
postponement Of the new consti-
tutional convention until after
the war were demanded. An "ab-
sent voter" law for those in war
activities was favored.

condemned, not for his part in

for his veto of the syndicalism

The hottest fight centered
about the Seattle delegation s

storm broke when Lieut.. Gov.

clared that anything that blinds

Finally Hart was compelled to
make explanations. He said that
he meant that all measures not

in the interest Of the Germans.
The Seattle delegation won out
in a protest against the report of
the rules and orders committee
which held that every resolution

must be taken before the plat

The delegates charged that
this rule was a "damnable gag"
and an "unrepublican and unjust
procedure"

Struck BY Lightning
On San Francisco
Peak and Escape

Flagstaff, Ariz., Aug. IAN ac-
count of a thrilling experience in a
violent electrical storm on the sum-
NIT of San Francisco peak which
stands more than $4,000 feet above
sea level was given by Alonzo wells
and George Dible when they were
brought to a hospital here for treat
ment of injuries they suffered during
the storm.
They had started to climb the peak
during a rain which later turned into
a violent hail storm, accompanied by
much thunder and lightning. The
ground all about them, they said,
seemed to be wreathed in strange
'colored lights and the rocks appear,
ed to spout flames. AS they reached
a point so feet from the Sierra clubs
register and monument, they said,
there was a flash of lightning which
seemed to envelope the whole peak.
Both fell to the ground stunned,
They estimated they lay on the Ice
an hour before they revived suffi-
GENTLY to take stock of their injuries.
Two of bibles teeth had been knock
ed out, his clothing was burned in
places, his shoes had been torn
off and his left leg was marked
with a blue zigzag streak. Wells
clothing was partly torn from his
body.
Although Dible was partly para
lyzed by the electrical shock, the
pair were able to make their way
down the mountain side to a point
where a party Of friends met them
and brought them to this city.

people of this community the vital
inheritance of food conservation as a
military necessity and a fighting war

sentation of the emergency reached
the hearts Of his auditors and food
saving has a new meaning to CLOVIS
now. Collinge knows from bloody
and bitter experience what he is
talking about. Marooned in the
trenches with a group of comrades

on a few ounces of hard tack, with

everywhere, 1t is believed, with new
and more unselfish enthusiasm in
the great conservation campaign.
Lieutenant Gregory, inspector for
the food administration himself soon

made a good forcible talk directed
straight at the housekeeper which
added the finishing touch to the
meeting, one Of the most beneficial
ever held here.
