THINKS FARMERS HAVE

Following is an extract from an ar

cost of living is to produce more and

REPUBLICANS IN
UNIT over SOUTH

Washington, Dec. 1O.-The elimina-
ton OF the power held by the southern
states in republican national conven-
lions IS one thing upon which both
regular and progressive republicans
appear 70 be argeed. Action along
this line Is demanded as one Of the
conditions upon which the party be
reorganized.
Senator Jonathan Bourne OF Ore
Eon, progressive, who has made
careful study OF this question, has TAX
en- II up with both wings Of the party.
i would deprive a president In Office
q the power 70 perpetuate a machine
that under conditions heretofore exist
ing has enabled him practically to
control the entire convention.
Under Mr.. Bournes plan the repre-
FCutatiOu IN the national convention
would not be based upon the number
Q, representatives from a state In
congress. but upon the republican
votes cast at the last presidential cleo
ti0n. This plan would give the states
where the great vote was cast the
greatest influence in naming the nom
the only democratic method OF making
up q nominating convention. Mr..
Bourne would deny the right TO all
the territories TO participate because
they do not vote.
The last convention consisted OF
1902 delegates outside the territories.
The Bourne plan leaves the total at
thai figure, but reapportions the num-
bu- among the various states in the
way suggested. which, in the case OF
New York, FOR instance, would in
crease irs number of delegates from
50 ~ 100
The important changes that would
come % the south is shown by the
reduction In delegates as follows:
Alabama, from "a TO 7. Arkansas,
from IS 20 10; Florida, from II to 8 !:
Georgia. from 2S to 8; Louisiana. from
% 10 .: Mississippi from 20 to s.;
North Carolina, from "a TO II; South
Carolina, from IS 10 5; Tennessee,
from "a 70 II; Texas. from 40 TO II,
and Virginia, from "a 10 10.
The representation OF Maryland,
Missouri and Kentucky would be
slightly increased. The reduction OF
southern representation in republican
conventions has become a live issue
Oud as both factions are favoring II
the chances are the office holding
class. which constitutes the republican
party in the south, will no longer be
potent In the-councils Of the party.

been accomplished by the Department
Of Public instruction In nearly every
line Of cndcuvUr during the past year.
In the early part of 1871 much time
was given To the preparation Of re-
ports and estimates for tn" educational
committee Of the Legislature. Liberal
appropriations were the reward for
this effort.
Particular emphasis has been placed
upon certain phases Of the work which

I'm the first mentioned the teaching
force has been improved mainly In
two ways-by the department being
enabled by more ilncrdl appropriations
to pay better salaries. hence better
service, and again by the possibility
Of requiring Il higher standard for
teachers. this latter being largely due
TO the provision made for summer
schools for teachers previous to the
regular required examinations. Sum
