OLD RECORD

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 6. U.P)-A
''million dollar' livestock parade
was a feature of the 80th annual
California state fair today as Spe-
cial programs were arranged for
the Governor day celebration.
Nearly all the livestock entered
in the immense show was led out

interest to the race track, the
county booths, the midway, art gal
lery and educational displays.

honor guest of the fair today. He
was to speak at a noon luncheon
and attend the afternoon races.
Rotarians from all sections of the
state visited the fair to participate
in special programs honoring the
Rotary club. A dinner was sched-
uled tonight to be held in the con-
vention tent.
Other highlights of the day were
the award of state farmer degree
keys to winners of Future Farme:
prizes; a poultry conference: food
and fashion shows: annual meeting
OF California breeders of rare and
fancy fowls, and the nightly fire.
works display and horse show.
Attendance increased heavily yes
terday after a light Tuesday, and
fair officials believed the To-day ex-
position would shatter all previous
records of attendance and gate re-
ceipts. Each day, the crowd has
been greater than it was ON the
corresponding day last year. APP
proximately 100000 persons visited
the fair during the first five days.
The record attendance of 431,0l2
was established in 1929, when the

Harmony and enthusiasm ruled a
pre-convention gathering Of more
than 500 North Dakota Democrats
here Thursday as Minot was Chosen
for the state Endorsement convention
and groundwork was laid for this
years political campaign.
The time for holding the conven-
ton and the basis for determining

the party executive committee.
It IS expected that the vote cast In

basis for determining convention rep
resentation.
Plans for the convention were made
ty state committeeman who adopted
r. resolution. urging abandonment OF

arrangement" called for new deal"
in state government. Endorsed the
Missouri river diversion project,
urged establishment of state Demo-
cratic newspaper and lauded Presi-
dent Roosevelt, young Democratic
clubs, and the ex-service men and
women'S organizations.
Young Democrats perfected a per-
manent organization with over 200
young men and women attending. A
constitution was adopted and Donald
M. Murtha, Dickinson, director of the
temporary state organization, was
elected president. The Democratic
sx-service mems league meeting con-
sisted Of gathering Of members Of
the executive committee which pre-
pared plans for membership cam
raign and tor the state convention.
Nothing came before the meetings
of the Democratic groups to indicate
All attitude toward possible candi-
dates, but considerable informal talk
among leaders and members Of the
party was apparent.
Henry Holt, Grand Forks. member
OF the public works board, was most
