American Troops Overawe Possible Raiders
GERMAN-AMERICAN VOTE
MAY TURN REPUBLICAN
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 1.—
Democratic leaders claim that
everything is now concluded in the |
way of preliminary work for the j
convention in St. Louis on June
14.
In response to a popular demand
M’Combs states that ex-Governor
Glynn of New York will be tempora- '
ry Chairman, but that unless some-1
thing unforseen happens speaker
Clarke will be the permanent Chair
man. The Speaker said that he
didn't know a thing about it.
However as a compliment to the
state wherein the convention will be
held Clark is certain to be the pre
siding officer of the proceedings.
The name of Wilson will be ac
cepted by the delegates by acclama- j
tion..
German American representatives
are bitter over the recent Wilson
remarks against hyphenates and the
insertion of a plank insisting upon
j “true Americanism” is regarded as
a sort of side winder at them.
It is held that if the democrats
( insist upon irritating the German
j American vote and name also Wil
son, there will be a general defec
I tion to the republicans if the latter
. should nominate anyone but Hoot
or Roosevelt who are even more un
popular with the German-Americans
than is Wilson. It is claimed they
will also alienate a considerable
Irish-American vote.

the Wrst bank of the Meuse whare |
the Clown Prince’r army is now
striving to pierce the French lines. |

tained a severe bombardment, but

REPUBLICAN ISSUE TO
RE ALL PREPAREDNESS
CHICAGO, Juno 1.—It is now
definitely decided that preparedness
without any reservation as to the
else of the navy or the army will
be the big and main plank of the
republican platform.
That much is conceded In all the
beet informed quarters and will be
pressed as the leading campaign Is
sue with the attention of the poo
ple focussed upon the examples
given as a warning by the war in
Europe. Leading republicans now
gathering in this city declare that
while tariff protection must also
receive a place in the republican
proposal, preparodness will be the
main issue. Chairman Hilles ad

LATEST FROM BEAR AT
NINE O’CLOCK LAST NIGHT
The Coast Guard steamer Bear
entered the Ice pack, and since ten
o’clock yesterday while oft Cape
RomanzofF has been making no
headway. There was high hope
that the steamer with the mail
would reach Nome today, but un
less that steamer finds a lead and
gets out of the Ice pack this is more
or less a forlorn hope. That there
Is a very great quantity of ice In
Bering Sea this year Is without
doubt true; the fact Is that there
is more Ice and It has gone furthei
south than in years. The problem
of navigation, hence, at this time
presents unusual difficulties and the
delay to the arrival of the mall
irill be considerable.
The Bear reported at 6:15 last
night that It was out of the Ice at
that time, Cape Romanzoff was oft
the starboard quarter and they were
making good time on the righv
course.
At nine o’clock last night the
Boar was one hundred and sixty
five miles off Nome, making five
miles cn hour through Ice fields
This would bring the ship here on
Sunday morning early, but it is
likely that the cuttor may be de
layed by heavier ice as it nears
Nome.
