President Taft may be without representation on the official ballot of the Republican party of Nevada at the elections to be held next fall. A peculiar condition has been discovered by the regular organisation.

By an oversight which now seems irremediable, the State convention which elected delegates to the Chicago convention neglected to notpl-nate -Presidential electors, as provided for by the State law, and how to get their elecors on the bollot does not appear. Place cannot be made by pepition, for a convention was held and has acted. A conference of party leaders discussed today the possibility of holding another convention, but they will do so with reluctance, if at all, for they' fear the Roosevelt forces, on another trial, might capture the organization. Thus far no way out of the muddle has been discovered, and the difficulties of the situation are admitted to be grave. DEMOCRATS MAY RUN WOMAN FOR CONGRESS, THIS DISTRICT Italian Infantryman oh Sentry Duty at a Tripolitan Outpost ATLANTIC CITY, N.

July 13 After a three days session, marked by tumultuous scenes and factional strife that threatened to split ttye party in twain, delegates to the National Prohibition convention nominated Eugene Chafin of Illinojs and Arizona, for President, and Aaron S. Watkins of Ohio, for Vice-President, last night. Chafin and Watkins headed the party in the 1908 campaign. The end of the convention was harmonious, in comparison to the acrimonious debates that marked its early meetings. The delegates used every expedient to rush the business and the nominating speeches were begun almost before members of the convention had taken their seats after the invocation.

The first man to take the rostrum and place a man before the delegates was F. J. Sibley of Arizona, chairman "of the resolutions committee. He presented the name of Eugene W. Chafin.

-Chafin won the nomination on the first ballot with 594 votes out of a possible 867. In -accepting. the nomination, Chafin said: This is the greatest honor that could be offered any man politieally this year. I thank you for this nomination, and I promise you that I shall not stand for a third term. Watkins, the Vice-Presidential nominee, was nominated bv acclamation, after leading his competitors in two ballots.

The flame of "dissension agafn arose high in the convention, when the matter of electing national committeemen, according to the Prohibition vote in each state, was brought before the delegates. This matter is next in importance to the appointment of a national chairman and closely approaches the selection of a party standard bearer in significance; for the national committee and its chairman practically run the Prohibition party. FALL OF BASTILE CELEBRATIONS TOMORROW PARIS, July 14.

FASADENA, July 13.

A plan is on foot among the Democrats in this (the Ninth) Congressional district, composed of all Los Angeles county, exclusive of Los Angeles city, to run a woman for the office of Representative in Congress from this district. It is understood that Pomona, Long Beach and Pasadena Democrats have joined together for the purpose. The district is hopelessly Republican and the Republican candidate will probably be James McLachlan, while Charles Bell of Pasadena, will probably be the Progressive candidate. The woman who has been selected as a candidate is Miss Musa Rawlings, who was secretary of the Woman's Champ Clark club during the recent Those who are behind Miss Rawlings candidacy declare a campaign will be made with vigor-and seriousness and expect that the first woman member of Congress is to come from Hollywood. Petitions for Miss Rawlings nomination will be circulated immediately.

It is thought there will be little difficulty in getting a sufficient number of signers to Miss Rawlings petition to have her name placed on the ballot. July 29 is the final date for the filing of petitions with the Secretary of State, and as yet no Democrat has entered in the Congressional race. Those who have proposed Miss Rawlings name as a Congressional candidate possibility, declare that she would capture the woman vote of the district, together with the Democratic vote, and that, with the probability of the Republican vote being split in the coming election the possibility of her eletcion is extremely bright. Gesner Williams, one of the prominent Democrats of the city Congressional district, declared yesterday he be- The celebration will be safe and sane, and instead of sending off fireworks, France will eat, drink and make merry.

Photo hr American Press Association. Thousands of visitors at the beaches lined the water front last night to watch the approach of the highest tide of the past two years. Many will journey to the seaside tonight to view the tide which will reach its greatest height at about 11 oclock.

At Long Beach the arrival of the high tide caused considerable damage to the walks and sea walls. At Venice and the Santa Monica beaches the tide, while nearly as high as at Long Beach and presenting an awesome spectacle, did practically no damage. At Long Beach with the water standing from four to six feet deep all about the new $12,000 municipal band stand east of the pier, E. H. Willey, director of the band, was compelled to engage the services of a horse and wagon to ferry his thirty musicians to and from the stand.

The water rose to within about a foot of the base of the stand and fears were entertained at Long Beach last night that if the tides were backed by swells during the next few days, as they were yesterday, considerable damage would result to the band stand as well as the recently repaired Pine avenue pier. At Long Beach the spra dashed over the concrete retaining wall or bulkhead along a portion of the beach, throwing spray high in the air. The tide measured 7.4 feet, which was four-tenths of a foot higher than on Thursday night. FIERY BLASTS SWEEP OVER STEPPES IN CZAR'S DOMAIN SERMONS TO YOUNG MEN BY -REV. DR.

HARPER For months there have been mutterings of discontent at the prolongation of war with Turkey. The Socialists have been ardent in their opposition to the cost of the war in blood and money and now that the months come and go and no prospect is in sight for ending the war the discontent of the Italians is more apparent. There are thousands of Italians who are angry at the increasing debt of the government and the loss of lives of young Italians because of the war with Turkey over Tripoli. They see nothing but failure for Italy in the end, and they dont want opay taxes and furnish men for such a war. Rev.
