National Committee adjourned at s
o'clock tonight, after disposing OF

the four days session these decisions
we're made:
Refusal TO place on the temporary

Seating OF both delegations from
Louisiana, each member with half a

ference and from preparedness organi-
zstions
District OF Columbia Barred.
Each of the three District Of Colum-
bis delegations charged that the cleo
ton Of the others was accomplished
by fraud and irregularities. The de-
cision against all was reached because
of the irregularity Of the methods OF
selecting each delegation and as pre-
ventive Of further contests from the

"Old Guard'' Pounds at Hughes
in Hope of Boosting Root

A smashing drive TO batter down the
Hughes candidacy was begun by the
"old guard" to-day in the hope of push
ing ex-senator Root into e position
where he can make a big showing in
the early balloting. As delegation after
delegation arrived here to-day Root
scouts got in touch with them. Toward
evening Mr.. Root was in stronger po-
sition, but Justice Hughes was undam.
aged.
The PRINCIPAL sufferers from the on
slaughts were the favorite sons, includ-
ing Senator Weeks, who had the time
Of their lives holding their remaining
delegates in line. The "old guard" is
confident that IL has Colonel Roose
Welt beaten and that he cannot be
named by the Republican convention,
and II is with this in mind that IT has
directed its batteries against the
Hughes candidacy in the hope Of bring
ing about what 10 It's mind will be his
elimination also.
While the allies" insist that they
are sincere in their efforts TO nominate
Mr. Root and that he can be elected,
the real purpose of the Root drive, as
understood here, is 10 force the NOM
nation of some candidate other than
justice Hughes, who would be accept
able 20 Colonel Roosevelt and the Pro-
gressives. The "sllies" know that the
Progressives will not support ex-Sena-
TOR Root; that his selection would be
taken by most of their number as d.
lect slap at them. Just whom the
rallies" have in mind for the nomina-
lion was not disclosed, but one promi-
nent member declared that with Jus
iice Hughes out Of the running they
would have $40 delegates for any can
ddate that was agreed on.
The effect Of the drive on the can
lidacy Of Senator Weeks was strongly
perceptible this evening. At the head
quarters of the Massachusetts, Senator
ii WAS said that Mr.. Root would have
more votes on the first ballot than any
fsvorite son. The Weeks candidacy was
hit harder than any of the others.
The Hughes men declared that his
candidacy had now got beyond the con
troll of the "old guard" and that the
Justice would be named on the sec
ond or third ballot. Some Of the more
enthusiastic claimed he would have
between $50 and 100 votes on the first
ballot. A poll OF the Nebraska dele
cation to-day gave the Hughes men
plenty Of announcement. They are
pledged 20 Cummins, but after voting
for him on the first ballot the next
lineup will be twelve for Hughes and
four for Roosevelt Similar reports
were received from Minnesota and
other Middle Western states.

JUDGE HUCK IN PERRY COUNTY

The Perry County Circuit Court
convened here last Monday. Judge
Peter H. Huck and his stenographer,
Taylor Smith, as usual, were here in
ample time to get right down to work.
There are few Judges in the State
who can compare with Judge Huck in
the matter of dispatching the business
of the Court He just simply has a
mack to facilitate matters. While he
is strict in court matters, he is new
er harsh. Judge Huck, by his strict
adherence to duty and sociability has
made more friends than any Judge
ever did in this circuit.
Everybody knows that Judge Huck
is honest in his judgment and sincere
and conscientious in his work. Ev-
erybody connected with the Court is
courteously treated by him, and know
ing that no better man can be elected
for Judge, the voters, irrespective of
party affiliations, will re-elect him.

STATEWIDE PROHIBITION
AND THE SINGLE TAX

While Missouri counties have been
gradually going "dry" the State OF
Missouri has been just as gradually
increasing the financial aid it offers
| the county roads and schools until
today the public school apportionment
amounting to substantially two million
dollars for 1916, is the largest in the
history of the State.
This money is all going out of the
State Treasury into the various coun-
ties.
Where does the State GET all this
money? and where would the COUN-
TIES get it if the State didn't fur
nish it. Ever think of that? It's
worth thinking about.
Ninety-six of the one hundred and
fourteen counties of this State DO
NOT CONTRIBUTE ONE CENT to-
ward the support Of the State gov
eminent. All that they pay into the
State Treasury in taxes is paid back
to them by the State for their county
government, mostly for roads and
schools, AND NEARLY A MILLION
DOLLARS A YEAR BESIDES.
That is a rather remarkable fact,
but it rs TRUE. 1t is a matter of
PUBLIC RECORD.
Now, let us tell you another fact,
not so remarkable, but none the less
a FACT. 1t is simply this: Nearly
all of the ninety-six counties above
mentioned are DRY counties.
1t is very right and proper that
these counties should receive this
State aid for their roads and schools,
because roads and schools are mat
tiers Of Statewide concern. But if
the State Of Missouri loses any great
part of its present income 1T WILL
HAVE TO WITHDRAW ITS AID.
A total Of S7121, 22761 lover eigh-
ey per cent of which came from the
big cities) was paid by the liquor in

State and the local subdivisions there

alone, NOT COUNTING THE REGU-
LAR TAXES paid by the manufactur-
ers, wholesalers and retailers in the
liquor business and allied industries.
Statewide prohibition would auto
matically shut off just about one-half
the present income of the State.
Where, then, would these counties go
for the moneys they are receiving
from the State? Where COULD they
go? Do you know of any available
source Of revenue that is not AL
READY pretty well exhausted? Do
you know Of any NEW source of rev.
enue? Does ANYBODY know where
Missouri could pick up three or four
million dollars a year outside the
present source of revenue?
With the State Treasury bankrupt,
these ninety-six counties could have
but one place to go for the road and
school moneys they now get from the
State. They would have to go TO
THE FARM and put BIGGER TAX

DICKEY FAILS TO REGISTER

Walter S. Dickey, Republican candi-

personally with the papers. Unless
he returns from st. Louis in time to

When Dickey said he was born in

papers that showed he had become a
citizen of this country. 81 have never

told that he would have to show them

LEAF HOPPERS MISTAKEN
FOR HESSIAN FLIES

Wheat growers are unusually anx-
ious this fall about the Hessian fly and
the date on which they will last ap-
pear so as to plan their wheat sowing
to escape them. The summer and
fall have been unusual ones and the
flies began emerging fully two weeks
later than normal. In central Mis-
souri, the first flies began to appear
September 18th but cool weather fol-
lowing delayed them further so that
the first real emerging Of the pest in
swarms came during the last days Of
September and the first DAYS of Oc-
tober. These heavy swarms have
again been checked by frost and cool
weather but with few warm DAYS the
pest is sure to be with us in central
Missouri. until at least October 18th.
1t is necessary, therefore, that wheat
growers stick strictly to the safe SOW
ing dates as previously outlined. or
better still, seed a few DAYS after the
normal safe sowing date. This wear
for central Missouri seeding about
October 10th to 18th. and for the
northern border October 25th will be
