HILL NOMINATED I +
BY ACCLAMATlON

Woody and Isaiah Stephens.
| After naming the committees,
the convention adjourned until
l 80 p. m. While waiting for the
! COMMITTEE on credentials to re-
port, various prominent Republi-
cans present were called upon for
a speech, A number of them re-
sponded, among whom were T.
IL. Parsons, o w. O. Hardman,
j., W. Mcintyre, B. F. Meighep.
and Col. j. E. Hooton. The
speakers realizing the perilous
predicament of the Republican
party in West Virginia took ad-
vantage of the opportunity to.
make plea for harmony. With
all the arts of oratory they be-
seeched Republicans to vote the
ticket regardless Of who the NOM
inees might be. When the name
of Dawson. was mentioned, the
IDawsonites cheered, and when Te-'
ter was mentioned the Teterites
cheered, but the two factions
seldom cheered the same senti-
ments.
At 2:30 Committee on Creden-
tials after being called a number
of times, made its report, seating
the Hill delegates.
Mr.. Gregory was on his feet a
moment after the report was read,
and in a sensational speech appeal
ed to the delegates not to accept
the report. He said that Hills
election had been accomplished by
fraud and that every Hill delegate
from Tyler county was present in
contempt of court. He read the
injunction granted by Judge Tav-
ener and exhibited one of the red
tickets that had been given to GER
tain Hill voters at one precinct.
THE tickets were cashed at an
other place.
The report Of the committee
was adopted and a motion to make
the nominations before hearing
the reports Of the other commit
tees, carried.
J. D. Garrisonj of this county,
in one of the best speeches Of the
day, placed in nomination for
Senator, T. P. Hill, of Tyler coun-
| ty. A number of speeches were
made seconding the nomination.
Mr.. Gregory took the floor and
withdrew his name as a candidate
saying that the convention was
not legal one, and even if the
nomination was rendered him, he
would not accept it under the cir
cumstances. He said that in order
Ito be a legal convention, Tyler
county should be represented,
and claimed that Tyler was not
represented, as the Hill delegation
was not entitled to a vote, and
was acting in contempt OF court:
He concluded his eloquent and
fiery speech by placing in nomina-
ton, as a compromise candidate,
10. W. o. Hardman, of Tyler.
A number of speeches were
made in reply to Mr.. Gregory, in
several of which he was denounced
severely. ....
| A motion to have Mr.. Hill NOM
mated by reclamation carried.
The question being put, a majority
of the delegates voted aye, and
there being no noes, Hill was de-
clared the nominee of the cOnven-
ton. Hill was called upon for a
speech, and responded in a brief
reply that convinced his hearers
that he was no orator.
The report of the Committee on
Resolution was adopted as read.
The resolutions Endorsed the Ma
tional and State administrations
and declared in no uncertain man
ner for tax reform.
The nominee of the convention
was instructed to work and vote
| for tax reform and to support n.

tor.

Supervision Of Rural Schools.

schools;
The most important question for
every patriotic Missourian is how
TO promote the best schools possl-
BILE for the boys and girls reared
on the farms. Twelve counties
employ county superintendents,
and speak from personal obscr-
walton and through conviction in
saying that the rural schools In
these counties are better In every
way than they arc In other
counties.
The following statements from
Supt. Hardway Of Jasper county,
who has had practical experience,
are worthy Of careful study;
"County supervision has no long
been established In Jasper county
and Its benefits have become 80
apparent that the wisdom Of It's
adoption has long since ceased to
be n matter Of discussion.
at In obvious that rural schools
are below those OF cities and
towns In buildings, In equipment
and In efficient instruction. The
excellence OF the city schools IL
largely the result Of splendid city
supervision. In rural schools there
are obstacles to efficient SUPER
vision that do not exist In cities,
but this Is but additional reason
that the administration of rural
school Affairs should be looked
after by experts In educational
matters. Any inequalities In edu-
oational advantages should be
speedily corrected. The child In
tho rural school to-day IL heavily
handicapped in the struggle for an
education.
