DEMOS TO HAVE
BIG ROW TODAY
ON RESOLUTIONS
Edgar Howard on Hand to
Push Prohibition and Suf
frage; Machine Would
Ditch These Topics.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Hastings, Neb., July 29. (Special
Telegram.) Prohibition and equal
suffrage are expected to form the
basis of a clash in the state demo
cratic convention tomorrow.
Among the early arrivals today
there is a persistent movement to
confine the platform to patriotic sub
jects, but a number of the delegates
insist on an endorsement of prohibi
tion and equal suffrage.
Edgar Howard of Columbus would
add to these a plank which he has
prepared committing the Nebraska
democrats to the principle of public
ownership and operation of water
powers and stock yards. He says the
decree has gone out that the conven
tion shall not discuss subjects other
than the war, but notwithstanding "it
comes from the hand of one much
loved by all within the imperial pal
ace of the Hohenzollerns, it will not
be respected by progressive demo
crats." The convention will meet in Pros
pect park pavilion at noon. Judge H.
Dungan of Hastings, who decided to
run for United States senator on the
petition filed by his friends, will wel
come democracy to Hastings for the
second successive gathering and the
keynote address will be delivered by
J. A. Donahue of O'Neill. Much in
terest prevails in the naming of the
committee on resolutions.
If the three planks in dispute are
omitted from the committee report,
it is said that an effort will be made
to get them before the delegates on
the floor.

POLITICAL POT
OOILS AS STATE
MEETS ARE HELD
Republicans Harmonious at
Lincoln, While Demos Visit
Hastings With Fear and
Trembling. v
From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, July 29. (Special.) Re
publicans are beginning to arrive to
day to attend the big state conven
tion here tomorrow. Everybody is
happy and they all bring "good tid
ings of great oy" because of the pros
pects of republican success in Nebras
ka. They talk and laugh just as re
publicans used to do in the good old
days when republicans were in con
trol -in the state and liable to remain
so.
They tell of big conventions in the
counties with large attendance and
much enthusiasm and everybody feel
ing sure that a change is comiig and
Nebraska coming back into its own.
Of course the chief topic of conversa
tion is the withdrawal of R. B. How
ell of Omaha as a candidate for the
republican nomination for governor,
which puts the situation back in its
original condition when it was ex
pected that S. R. McKelvie would
have no opposition for the guberna
torial nomination at the hands of the
republicans and insures the utmost
harmony and good feeling all around.
Democrats Look Blue.
In contrast to the good feeling
shown by republicans coming to the
convention is the worry upon xthe
faces of democrats leaving here today
for their state convention at Hastings.
Most of them are going over in auto
mobiles and the look upon their faces
indicates that a blowout or a busted
cylinder would be a welcome factor
if it gave them a good excuse for not
going to the convention.
They are expecting trouble but
hope to keep away from it. The soft
pedal is the only thing that will keep
the convention from getting into a
squabble. If both factions of the
party mixing in the governorship
fight work the soft proposition trou
ble may be averted, but if either side
starts things the other will join in the
fight with a vim.
Reed May Win.
On the senatorial situation there
seems to be much speculation. Just
at the present time some are declar
ing that the nomination will go to
former Gov. John H. Morehead at
the primary. They insist that Lieu
tenant Governor Howard has lost
ground since the advent of R. L. Met
calfe into the scrap and that the real
fight will be between the former gov
ernor and Mr. Metcalfe. With five
candidates in the race, which includes
besides the above. Attorney General
Reed and W. B. Price, a little twist
ing of the old mule's tail is likely to
start a fight which may land Reed in
the front. The situation at the con
vention may clarify things or it may
muddy up the already much disturbed
waters of the political pool until it
becomes a dangerous proposition for
anybody to sail across.
Hun Vandals Destroy
Homes and Art Works
Along River Marne
London, July 29.--Evidence accumu
lates that during their brief stay in
the Marne salient the Germans have
been indulcinc- asrain in wholesale arts
of vandalism. In a message sent from
rrencn neaaquarters, Keuter s corre
spondent gives details of their con
duct while in possession of Chateau
Thierry.
I he Germans had been in the town
some time. When they found they
would have to give it up they de
termined to take the only vengeance
in their power. The injuries which
they inflicted on the town are such as
could not be the result of shelling, the
correspondent points out, as those
houses which suffered most were en
tirely uninjured by shell, -shrapnel or
bullet.
"These houses," he says, "were
magnificently furnished, the walls
hung with costly draperies and "ad
mirable pictures. Today there is noth
ing that has not been destroyed."
Americans Cross Marne
on Boats Submerged by Huns
By Associated Press.
With , the American Army on
the Aisne-Marne Front, July 29.
When the Americans crossed the
Marne they discovered the retreating
Germans had conceived a trick to de
ceive, the allied air bombers.
Boats and floats submerged and
held down by rocks were found so
arranged they could be made accessi
ble for use in short order for cross
ing from the south to the north bank.
In many instances these floats
spanned the river and were held by
cable and it required only a short
time to boat them. The Germans
did not get a chance to use their im
promptu bridges, having been kept
away from them by the fire of the
allied guns. The French and Ameri
cans, however, made use of the floats
when they came along in hot pur
suit of the enemy.

that there was a ferry across the Hud
son, from which it was possible to get
closer to the ships as they were leav
ing the harbor.
"Mrs. Potts and I were aboard that
ferry at 7 o'clock the next morning.
The vessel was in plain sight as we
crossed the river. We waved to those
on board until we attracted their at
tention. Then they waved back,
whistled loudly atd acted in a de
lighted manner.
"We were not near enough to dis
tinguish features, but I knew many
of the men so well that I could recog
nize them by their actions. It soon
looked like the whole unit was on the
side of the ship looking in our direc
tion We kept up this form of com
munication until the ship vanished
into the great white space.
"We crossed the river six times that
morning, as near to t! e ship as it
was possible to get. The ship, with
several other vessels and their con
voys, sailed out of the harbor in plain
daylight and without any attempt at
concealment."
