GO OVER TO CLARK SUPPORT

Vermillion, S. D.-Because of the
fact that there are thousands of en-
thusiastic Clark boosters in South Da-
Eota, and again for the reasons that
enc democrats faction is convinced
that the attitude of Gov. Wilson to-
wards the Bryan democracy has been
and is uncertain, the delegates who
filed under the motto "Wilson-Clark-

This section of the state has been
visited by several fine rains in the
past few days, which have given the
finest incentive for the growth OF
grain. Seeding is finished and the
greater part of the grain is above the
ground. There is an immense guam
tity of moisture in the ground this
season. and the indications point to
the largest crop in the past fou
yeais. The farmers are in the fields
lowing the ground for corn, and by
the latter part of this week the great
er proportion of them will be planting
COIN, the conditions for which are
ideal in every respect. Reports from
west of the river are that the outlook
is the NEST encouraging in the last
five wears. Moisture has come in very
generous quantities for the past two
weeks, and the prain is up and grow
ing nicely. The stand everywhere is
strong and the wheat and pats are.

full delibefation,' said \. f. Ice, who
returned today from y meeting at
Mitchell, which was called for the
purpose of talking over the PROPOSE
ton of holding u presidential prefer
ence primary in connection with the
primary election June l.. There
seemed 20 be considerable opposition
for Il preference vote on the part of
The Johnson democratic members Of
the state committee, they, rs am
convinced, being pledged body and
soul to Wilson, and 20 the committee
decided TO take no action. But we
democrats who believe in fair play,
and not being pledged to any presi-
dental candidate especially, decided
that in due fairness TO all concerned
that the democratic voters of South
Dakota should have a chance to ey-
Press a preference.
rcttigrcw Favors Clark.
Senator Pettigrcw was present at
the meeting, and made it plain to
myself, as Well as the majority of
those ON hand, that Clark was more
preferable than Wilson. For some
time prior thereto | had believed that
Wilson would be the more accept
able, but the more learn of him the
more am convinced that he should
receive the nomination. His atti-
tuGe toward progressive principles,
the more one digs into the situation,
is not II all creditable, to say the
least. | feel that he is an uncertain
quantity, and in line with that be
lief will support Speaker Clark until
after the primaries
1t is understood that this action on
the part of those democrats who were
favorable 10 either Wilson OF Clark
will result in a lining up of faces, the
johnson faction standing by Wilson
and the Wickhcm democrats support
ing Clark. Senator Pettigraw, it is
announced, viii devote the next thirty
days to a Clark campaign in South
Dakota. and will bring many prom
inent speakers of national repute to
the state. He has also declared that
he will exert every effort to have p. i.
Wickhem nominated for governor, as
well as the rest of the gentlemen who
are candidates for office on the Nick
hem ticket.

For Women Street Car Conductors.


Philadelphia, Nov. .G.-The Pniladel-
phia Rapid Transit company announce
ment that it would remodel all Of it's
old pay-as-you- enter cars into near
side cars was because of the benefit
of the women conductors it plans to
have
Two young women have been sta
toned in near side cars where the con
ductor stands just back of the motor
man. In these cars the conductor has
only to handle the fares of the pas
sengers as they step on the car. The
motorman controls the switch which
opens and closes the doors. The trolley
pole is also controlled by him.
1t has been figured out that all of
the old style cars may be remodeled
at Il cost much less than the saving in
single year through women con-
ductOrs, the pay of the latter being
about So a week as against SIS or
$40 week received by men.

has been advocating before congress
the establishment of Il government
laboratory or bureau for the scientific
study of the abnormal classes. espe
cially of cranks, who are potential as
sassins, has again called attention to
the need OF Systematically studying
this dangerous class in the COM
munity in order TO limit their activi-
ties.
Mr.. MacDonald's plan is TO make
psychological and sociological study or
cranks in general and Of dangerous
cranks in particular, especially Of those
who attempt to approach the president
and other public men on important
business" He would have all such
individuals sent to specialists 70 be
studied in order that criminOogistS
may accumulate mass Of definite
data about this dangerous species Of
abnormal persons who arc popularity
called "cranks.'" -.

Vermont's Unique Educational Plan.

Montpelier. Vt, Nov. 24-An educa-

peal to other localities has been tried
out here and received with enthusi-
asm. The idea was the opening of a
portion of the state house to groups of
school children for the purpose of
viewing collections of minerals, birds
and animals. In one room were placed
mounted specimens Of birds, quadru-
peds and mammals. The state NAM
mails and birds We're represented and
included rare types. such as otter,
cross fox, silver fox, Canada lynx,
bear, panther, deer. etc.
1t was the early intention Of the
curator Of the specimens in the next
mont specimens. but it was later
deemed best by him to add specimens
from other parts of the country.
There were about q thousand speci-
mons of minerals. a collection of rocks
of the state. small collection Of shells.
a display Of corals, a thousand speci-
mems Of birds eggs. series Of New
England moths and butterflies, O. series
Of tropical butterflies mounted in

More Plans For Giant Exhibition.


San Francisco, Nov. 26.-The archi-
tecturaI committee of the Panama-Pa-
cific international exposition, schedul-
ed to open ON Feb. 20, 1915, after
adopting the two slogans, "The expo
sition that will be ready" and THE
exposition that Will be unique" has
announced the general plan for the
arrangement of the buildings for the
fair that is to celebrate the opening
of the Panama canal.
Contrary to the rule of erecting sep
arate and in some cases isolated build
ings, as has been the case in previous
worlds eXpositions, the San Francisco
arrangement calls for the joining Of
exhibit halls by colonnades or patiOs.
The main group Of buildings will be
constructed on a central axis, so that
on one side Of the central group will
stand the machinery hall and the
amusement concessions, while on the
other will be located the state and
foreign government buildings, the mill
tary parade grounds and the aviation
field.
A 375 foot tower will be the main
feature of the central group Of build
ings The entrance to the court or
honor will be another feature of this
group. and court called 1.-The Court
of the -Four Seasons will take up con-
siderable space in this central portion
Of the exposition. The central court
will be the most deliberately laid out
and decorated space in the entire ex-
position grounds, for it will give the
sightseer his first impression of the ex-
position.
The festal court will be an immense
open air theater for symphonic music,
choral singing and aesthetic dances.
Being designed for pageantry also it
will furnish an adequate setting for
oriental and modern drama on an i'm
mense scale. Arcaded cloisters will
surround the court SO as to present a
vantage point from which spectators
may witness the spectacles. Above the
cloisters a promenade and balcony will
be constructed for the convenience or
visitors. The terraces will be banked
with tropical PLANTS, MOSES and
groups of statuary comprising fauns,
bacchantes, heralds and dancing fig
