during the year 1912 by the ia coun.
ties of Missouri, according to advance

was also a gain in the quantity of
sheep and goats marketed over 1911.

go after the state committees Tor ap.
proyal. When the state primary law
first was adopted in Missouri It pro.
vided that all party conventions must
be held in jefferson City on the same

enth general assembly the conven-
lions may now be held anywhere in

In some of the hotels
Conventions now held under the pri-
mary law are not, however, the kind
that were held under the old system,
when big delegations were sent and
they werH great bodies remaining In
session four or five days. Then one
of these gatherings meant an ava
lanche OF money poured upon the
town where It met. Usually il was a
week OF lively. thrilling times for the
city entertaining the politicians.
The state convention, under the prl.
mary law, is utterly Invested of ex-
element The membership Is pre-.
scrlbed by statute, and about 200 del
egates is the limit. All of these do
not attend Aside from preparing the
platform. which is done by a commit
tee, the work is routine.
