the enrolment at the schools that at

tion was not attending the schools,
and further that the various grades
we're crowded to their utmost capac-
ity and there was an overflow In al

Direct Primaries Plan viii Be
Given Try-out for First Time in
State Next Year.
MANY WILL OPPOSE STONE
St. Louis Home Rule, Police and
Excise Laws To Be Decided
by Direct Ballot.

JEFFERSON CITY, MO, Sept. 20.
That tho election next year will be
the liyeliost held in Missouri for some
time 10 the prediction Of politicians.
A United States Senator Is to sue
coed William Joel Stone, sixteen Con-
gressmen. State superintendent of
Public Schools, one Judge Of the su-
preme Court, eighteen State Senators,
all the members Of the lower house
Of the General Assembly and numer-
Gus county officers will be elected.
Interest win be further augmented
by the fact that the people will ballot
upon the ratification Of the st. Louis
home rule. police and excise laws, the
county unit and the so-called full
crew law" affecting railroads and
their employees.
In addition there are several impor-
tant proposed amendments to the
State constitution, among these being
the proposition to levy a tax of 10
cents on the 500 valuation for the
benefit OF the public roads and an
amendment pulling the teeth OF the
initiative and referendum.
Many Seek Nomination.
Missouri will try out next fall the
election OF a United States Senator
by direct vote. The voters for the first
time get a direct whack at the can
didate for United States Senator, and
the man receiving the highest num-
Der Of votes Will be declared the win
ner.
The candidates for United States
Senator Will seek their nominations
in the State primary, which is held
the first Tuesday in August, 1914
This Will mean an interesting and
lively primary election, according to
politicians.
II was at first thought here that the
General Assembly would have to be
convened in extra session to amend
the State primary law 20 provide for
the nomination OF Senatorial Candi-
dates. But Governor Major. after an
examination OF the law, believes that
Candidates for the United States SEN
ate can be legally nominated under
it, and Attorney General Parker con
ours in this view. Heretofore United
States Senatorial candidates have
been nominated at a Senatorial pri-
mary held in conjunction with the
regular election.
Stone to Have Fight
Unless Senator William Joel Stone
performs some sort OF a miracle he
will have opposition for the Demo
cratic nomination the leaders at JEFF
ferson City declare. That the opposi-
ton TO Stone is not confined to the
Statehouse crowd is apparent by
the expressions dropped by visiting
Democratic politicians
Even the friends OF Stone concede
that he is facing one OF the hardest
fights of his political career. The op-
position to Stone has so far not cen
tered upon a candidate. To get a
man who can trim the gum shoe
statesman" the opposition comedies,
will not be an easy task,
