rolled in statewide corn-growing
contest, very large number will COM
pete this fall at county and district
fairs for the much coveted scholar
ships and prizes offered by the respec-

At each of these fairs exhibits will
be made of corn grown by these school

vision of their teachers and the gen
eral direction of the superintendent
Of the A counties In which the so
contestf will be held this fall. The
dis plays will be passed upon by ex-

corn most popular with Wisconsin

itors in each county will be given

The whole plan originated with
r. A. Moore, professor of agronomy
in the College of Agriculture of the
University of Wisconsin and secretary
of the Wisconsin Agricultural Expert
ment association. His purpose In or
ganizing these contests was two-fold.
In the first place he confidently be-
lieved that the boys of Wisconsin
could be induced to stay upon the
farm If they were but given an oppor-
tunity to see that by raising better
grains and eventually better live
stock much more money could be
made and be convinced that farI,ing

Special to The Republican,

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 6-From the standpoint of numbers and en- tnusiasm the progressive conference which was held this afternoon and tonight has shattered all previous political records.
 The spacious ball room in the Pal ace hotel was filled to overfIowing Hong before Governor Hiram Johnson began what is probably the most powerful and impressive address that he has ever delivered. The wide cor ridor was jammed with men and women unable to gain admittance. but eager to catch eN cry word of the governors inspiring address
 The assemblage of the progressive leaders was in marked contrast to the gathering of relCtiOnary repub- liCans which met in this city a fort night ago to swear allegiance to the national republican committee and Leaders Barnes, Penrose and Cannon.
 The former gathering was made up in the main of a mere handful of discredited politicians Today's assem- hlage of proSressives numbered sev- oral hundred and represented the highest type of independent militant citizenship of the state.
 Governor Johnson sounded the slo- gan of battle for 1914. It was for la clear-cut fight undar the banner of the national progressive party. Com nlete independence of action was his insistent demand. demand that fcund instant echo from the vast as scmblage that cheeIed his ringing appeal for several minutes.
 Following Governor Johnson's ad- dress resolutions were adopted provid- ing for definite plan of organization for the progressive party of California. Daniel A. Ryan, of San Francisco, who until yesterday was chairman of the republican state central committee. was elected chairman of the progressive state central committee. Charles R.

issues of the day made some striking statements. He said:
 "The progressive party was founded upon a different theory than the old political parties. It represented the highest of all our citizenship and it att tracted to it all those who individually had been struggling in the past in be- half of human kind.
 The name of a political party has been made such a fetich that it is in- sisted you must continue within a party with which you may have been affiliat- ed and that you can only carry out the principles that are most dear to you within that political party. Men of like opinion should be in a party by themselves and we who believe the contrary should be in a party by our selves. There is no possibility of recon cilliation in the two conflicting views, and there is no possibility that the two sets of man will ever act in harmony within any political party.
 Ut is an incongruity for us to fol- low the black banner of De Young and Otis as it is for us under the same club of privilege to be bartered into line nationally by MT Barnes of New York and MT. Penrose of Pennsylvania. It is just as ridiculous for members of the democratic party to be directed by Roger Sullivan in Illinois, and Charles E. Murphy in New York. When the flush of victory of last year shall have faded democrats will realize this just as those who formerly were republi- cans understand the impossibility of the leadership that has been ours in the past.
 The triumph of those of US who had striven so hard was when the attorney for the Southern Pacific told a commit tee of the legislature that his company had finally come to realize that it could and would be regulated by the state. It required some great upheavaI to bring together those whose thoughts were of like character and that up- heaval came last year in the insolence and arrogance and the fraud of the men who believed they were supreme in the republican party"
