ELECT ASENATOR
UNPOPULAR VOTE
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 the election next year will be
the livsliest held in Missouri for sons
time 10 the prediction Of politicians.
United States Senator IL TO sue
coed William Joel Stone, sixteen Con-
gressmsn, 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 400 valuation for the
beneflt 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 q 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 win mean an interesting and
lively primary election, according to
politicians
II was at frst thought here that the
General Assembly would have to be
convened I'm extra session to amend
the State primary law to 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
IL, 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 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 concedc
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

F|REMEN SHIFTED
TO PERMIT EXAMS

There were lively doings at fire
headquarters in the City Hall today,
arranging changes in details and fix
ing leaves of absence for members
Of the department who are to take
the civil service examinations for pro-
motions next week. Chief Engineer
Moore had the deputy chiefs and all
the battalion chiefs on hand to re-
port conditions in their respective
sections and aid In making adjust
ments.
Tuesday had been originally set by
the Civil Service Commissioners for
the examinations, but upon Chief
Moore explaining to Commissioner
Fordyce and Secretary Gardner Colby
the impracticability of allowing 1913
men off at one time, how 1t would
cripple the fire-flghting force and
other harmful effects, Tuesday, being
primary day, was cut out of the pro-
gram entirely. Monday and Wednes-
day were substituted.
Even with the change in dates for
holding the examination, hief Moore,
in order to keep the company quotas
at the minimum, finds it necessary
to make special details to engine
companies Nos. 2, 4, 5, 9, 10, IL, 10
and 20, and truck companies 3, 5
and Z.
On Monday ga firemen will take the
examination for lieutenancies, and on
Wednesday 45 firemen will undergo
similar tests and 10 leutenants will
try for captaincies.
