The delegates were tired from

face of the prospect of adjourn

that support of Wilson was the only

time for making the switch was left
entirely in Sullivan's hands, the dele
gates directing that the change should
be made when, 'in the best judgment
of the chairman (Sullivan), 1T should
be deemed advisable"
The big vote of Illinois was held In
line for AZ ballots without difficulty.
Just before adjournment, shortly after
midnight, a meeting was held. By
vote the Illinois delegates decided that
Clark had no chance for nomination
and the next choice should be Wilson
Adjournment was taken before it was

Some of Houchin's Plans.

Among Houchin's plans for the
uphuilding of rural Missouri is the
education of the farmer by sending
To him instructors, land and agri-
cultural experts, from the State
University and by introducing the
study OF agriculture into the coun-
try schools. This course would in
sure improved methods Of farming
and increase productiveness of the
soil. 1t would make farming more
profitable and render IL more allur-
ing as vocation among the chill
dren of the farmers. This increased
profit on farming would not only
ckeck the present loss OF the rural
population by inducing young peo-
pie to remain on the farms and cul-
tivate them; il would likewise tend
directly To increase the population
by attracting desirable immigra-
ton from other States. Houchin
would impress on the farmers
minds keen sense OF the value of
intensified agriculture, He would
also cndeavor TO have country resi-
dents in general realize how much
they could add tn their pecuniary
resources by diversifying the agri-
cultural industry and turning their
attention to marget gardening, dairy
farming and the production of pOul-
try and eggs.
Other cummendable plans in Hou-
chin's platform are: Good roads in
all parts of the State and higher eff
ficiency in the country schools.
Many of the pupils IN the rural
schools are destined to be the future
farmers of the State, hence the wis
dom of giving them as thorough a
rudimentary education as possible.
hut the only way to accomplish
this purpose is to grant sufficient
State aid to the poor school dis
tricts to enable them to hire high
CT Eiuut VI ltutlltIs anu W tIidlitthlt
longer terms of school. This edu-
catlonal advancement, together with
the classes in agri culture proposed
by Houchin, would undoubtedly
better inform the minds OF the
younger generation of the rural pop
ulation, enable them more profitably
to follow the pursuit Of agriculture
and its kindred industries, build up
brighter, more prosperous and
happier home life among them and
finally wean them away from all
disposition to seek the glittering
and often dangerous temptations of
urban life. In the matter of good
country roads Houchin IL equally
insistent and, II elected Governor,
would urge the State Legislature to
grant liberal appropriations to such
road districts as have not sufficient
funds to construct well paved high
ways. Like many another practi-
cal business man Houchin has the
sagacity to discern that, II railroads
are the arteries of commerce, coun-
try roads are the veins, which are
Just as essential for the purpose of
trade.
