by the regular organization of Jeffer-
son county be seated, adding that he
desired to be heard on his motion. He
explained to the delegates assembled
that when he was Commissioner of
Agriculture he had formed an organ
ization in Jefferson county just as he
had done in every county in the
State. Although he did not desire the
place he said that, upon call OF Com
missioner Rankin the farmers of that
county met and instructed for him
for members of the State Board from
the Fourth District. Mr.. Norton, he
said, was candidate for the place
and mPde a vigorous fight, but
he saw that he had been beaten by the
regular organization he. with the as
sistance of the remnant of the Frank
fort Ring, secretly organized three 9TH
er Gibbs or claimed to have done so,
and had them instruct for him. Mr..
Vreeland commended tnat after the call
had been issued for the selection of
delegates it was unfnir to organize
mushroom" clubs for the sol4 pur-
pose of defeating any candidate He
asked hat the three clubs be not rec
ognized by the delegates.
After some discussion the matter
was referred to the Committee on
Credentials, which had been named
by the politicians. The meeting
of the committee was held behind
closed doors and after the others had
been heard Mr.. Vreeland was called
before the packed committee and
given a formal hearing.
The real fight began at the night
session when the packed Committee
on Credentials reported. Their finding
did not surprise anyone, as all The del.
egates realized that the committee
had been selected by politicians on
and OF the State Board, but when the
committee reported that it had seated
all the Jefferson county clubs Mr..
vreeland offered a substitute 20 the
report, seating only the delegates
from the regular organization in the
Fourth District.
Mr.. Vreeland spoke to his subs;i- |
tute and took occasion to say that he i
realized the meeting was being
dominated by the Frankfort Ring in
stead of the farmers of the State, but
that he proposed to show up the dark
lantern methods of the opposition. He
said thlt the original organization in
Jefferson county has been in exist
ance for several years, and that not
one OF those opposing him ever at
tended meeting of the club, and
-het Mr.. Norton had never attended
4 farmers institute of any description
N his life. He predicted that if such
peanut politics" should be tolerated
n the meeting the institute work,
which heretofore had been kept free
rom politics, would eventually be de-
'troyed.
Mr.. Vreeland said that he did not
iesire membership on the State
Board. as 1t would take him away
rom his business in Frankfort a great
leal of the time but that the farmers
# his district had unanimously in
for him and that he felt 1t
lis duty to fight the matter out mere
y for the sake of the principle IN

Continuing the dark-lantern meth d

FARMERS get down TO WO. IN SECOND DAY
and IMPORTANT WORK IS
ACCOMPLISHED.
MANY PROMINENT LECTURERS PARTICIPATE in PROGRAM

The third annual State Farmers In
stitute closed its sessions yesterday
afternoon after three days of interest
ing and instructive addresses by some
of the most prominent lecturers in
he United States. Except for the in
vasion of the institute by 4 number
of politicians the sessions were very
profitable and most of the farmers
went to their homes feeling that they
had been greatly benefited.
The institute opened Tuesday morn
ing with an address of welcome by
Gov. Augustus e. Wilson. The Gov
ernor said that he was only plain
lawyer and had never been a farmer
or agriculturist, but that he knew
enough of their calling to know II is
the most important in the State,
this being distinctly an agricultural
State. He paid high tribute 20 the
farmers and their work. He took
occasion to make "a plea for law and
order in the State and said that so
long as be is the Governor of the
oag as he is the Governor he intends
to be the Governor of the whole peo-
pie.
President Fromal responded to the
address of welcome on behalf of the
institute. He congratulated the mem
bers upon the great success which
the institute has attained since it's or
ganization three years ago. Taking
up its work, he told how no farmer
may be ignorant of anything he ought
to know, in regard to crops soil, seed
or anything pertaining to his farm,
and that through its teachings worn
lands may be brought back to state
of fertility.
He declared that the farmer has
the right to fix the price of his crop
above the cost of production. He
touched upon the tobacco question,
and told of the work of the American
Society of Equity and explained
how the farmers may control the pro-
ductlon of their crops. He said
one mistake that the farmers
make is to take advantage of high
crops to raise too much with the re-
suit that the price drops to .unprofita-
BILE figures the next season.
President Froman showed how by
the farmer can con
troll the production of his crops and
the prices which he shnll receive
for them. He declared that the sue
cess of the farmers organization de-
pends upon the fundamental princi-
pie of the integrity of its members.
Peanut Politics.

,ians" in charge. After the welcome
