PoPULIsTs TO DECIDE.
VIII Hold State Convention ON
February 21.

The Populist state central committee
refused TO pass upon the future of the
Populist party. but Will leave it to d
delegate convention to be held either
IN Topeka OF Wichita on February y.
An informal conference was held late
Frida afternoon into which a number
OF party workers We're called, but no
formal action was taken until last
night, when the members of the COM
mittee held an executive session
Taylor Riddle, Who held a proxy in
the committee, proposed that a general
conference be held TO decide the ques-
ton, but others opposed this idea as
it would reach no authoritative con-
clusion. The only method by which this
could be accomplished. it was argued,
was by a state convention. in which the
entire party should be represented by
delegates. with authority to take action
The rank and file Of the Populists, il
was argued, would not follow plans laid
for them by the leaders unless
they pleased. and for that reason a state
convention was necessary The stale
committee, too, has no authority to dis
organize itself. but such authority would
lie solely with a state convention of the
party.
The details for the convention were
left for Chairman Ridgley to raj
after he has conferred with other lead
ers- The apportionment will probably
be on a basis of one delegate for each
500 votes cast for John w. Breidenthal
Ter governor last year. and one dele
gate-at-large for each county,.

A OF
School Law to Be Placed in Course of
Study.

The state board of education is hold
ing its regular holiday session today,
as it always does Immediately following
the State Teachers association. AT it's
morning session it considered the
courses for accredited schools and the
rules and regulations for issuing state
certificates.
School law and school management
will hereafter constitute one subject of
20 weeks in the accredited courses of
study, instead of being ten weeks each
as heretofore. superintendent Nelson
has also been instructed to require all
accredited colleges in the state to re-
port at once concerning the number OF
books on pedagogy in the coHege libra
ry. Some time ago the board passed a
rule requiring all Institutions to fur
nish at least 100 pedagogical books for
the use of students in their teachers
courses. but some of the colleges have
not yet reported whether the rule has
been complied with.
The collegiate course of Cooper Me-
mortal college, of Sterling, was accredi-
ted according to the provisions of the
Grattan law, and graduates of thai in
stitution will hereafter be entitled to
state certificates.
This afternoon the board is passing
on the multitude of applications for
certificates to conduct and instruct in
county institutes.

ANYTHING FOR COLE.
County Clerks Endorsed Him
For Choice of Public Offices.

Frank Nelson was not the only state
officer who was endorsed" yesterday
The endorsement of Mr.. Nelson was for
the work he has accomplished and no
mention was made of politics or to flu
ture elections, but the state meeting Of
county clerks at Hutchinson unanim-
ously passed a. resolution endorsing
State Auditor Cole for any publie
position in Kansas he may DESIRE"
which means the governorship.
When it is considered that the coun-
ty clerks association is made up of
men of all parties and of county off
Gals from every section of the state,
such an endorsement was an honor
hardly to be expected, and it will doubt
less give@Mr. Coles gu~bernatorial boom
a shove of considerable force.
Auditor Cole attended the meeting of
the county clerks for the purpose of
going over the proposed tax bill with
them and bringing out their suggestions
with regard to improvements in it. He
explained it's provisions, and the discus
fact that the general plan was APP
proved by the clerks, and the only crit
icism was In regard to a few minor de-
tails.
spond with he clerks of the different
counties, gather their suggestions, and
to present them to the state tax COM
mission at its meeting next July, when
it Will consider suggestions for changes
in the bill. The members of this com
mittee are A.. Nj. Denny of Sedgwick
