LINCOLN, Aug. 2.—Speclal.)—The democrats can find no one with the nerve to come to the Nebraska state fair and tell the people what the democratic party has not done to run the government su cegsfully and so the committee which started out with flags flying and bands playing, metaphorically speaking, for a bang up Woodrow Wilson day, has called it off and democratic oratory at the falr will have to be confined to personal re- marks from the members of one faction to the members of the other. The committee selected by the “get to gether'” meeting two weeks ago could not get together a speaker today, and whil the Tower and Power Allen were suggested on | a8 men who could tell interesting things about some democrats, the suggestion was turned down by the party and the da called off. This 18 a sad blow to democratic hopes. 1 On the spur of the moment the plan was suggested to have a Woodrow Wilson day and get speakers of natlonal reputation to come and orate, but, while many were called none was willing to come to the fair and tackle the harmony program In the meeting the matter was discussed | pro and con, but no agreement could be reached, and after the committee had de- cided it was a “darn poor time to hold a meeting anyway, the committee dis- banded and the day was called off While there will be no democratic day at the fair, it is pretty evident that the | political bowle knives taken from the republicans will be in evi- denco and will be used to continue the very apparent peculiar brand of harmony which demoocrats insist prevalls among Nebraska followers of Thomas Jefferson, Senator Hitchcock and William Jennings Bryan.
