After two years in their present

This store is operated by J. Simon

in the establishment of this retail 1

At night the whole sky Is illumi

with German and Austrian wounded.
The Stokhod position Is exiremely
strong. Rumors accumulate daily that
the Germans will hold this line until
the last moment.
Allie' victories in the east and wen
have not sufficiently reduced the
morale of the Germans to give ground
for a supposition of a sudden collapse
of their military strength. The bitter

persistence with which enemy fliers
are bombing hospitals and stations

that deer with horns may be killed

Three programs were presented by i
the delegates. They were:
To let the national ticket go by de

convention this year, but to call a
party conference to be held soon after
the election and start an aggressive
four year fight for 1920.
To Indorse the candidacy of Preal-,

To order a natloiai convention and
begin the best fght possible against
both old parties.
"There are only two possibilities for
this conference to decide: Shall wo
have a national ticket, or shall we .
not?" said John M. Parker, the con- j
vention nominee for vice-president, to
the United Press. j
Parker Opposes Indorsement.
"There is no possibility that we '
shall Indorse Wilson or Hughes," he :
continued. Parker said he believed ;
there would not be a national ticket '
because the party had no suitable man :

the nomination for president if it was !
offered to him. ' j
"If Wilson sees his opportunity he
will get a shotgun and go after .

said. "He should tell these two lead-1
