DIRECT PRIMARY MAY END
Convention PLAN is Suggested b!
Code Committee.

Jefferson City, July 2o.-A modi-
| fled convention system, the delegates
elected ait party primaries, was rec
commended today by the committee
on suffrage and elections of the con-
stitutional convention to take the
place of present direct primaries for
party nominations. for state offices.
1t is provided that the question OF
direct primary is optional with each
county and city, the legislature to
provide the means by which each
county and city shall express itself
on this point.
The drastic recommendation by
the committee, virtually junking the
present DIRECT primary system, is ex-
pected to cause hot fight on the
floor of the convention. A majority
of the convention is believed to be in
favor of a return to the old conven-
ton system of making party nomina-
tons, providing the change does not
draw too much fire from the people
back home.
The committee on legislation OF
the constitutional convention made
these recommendations
Members of the legislature are to
receive $40 a day for sixty days and
the same pay at special sessions for
only thirty days; all extra time con-
sumed will be pad at the rate of ST
a day.
All employees of the house are to
receive not exceeding a sum total
OF $500 a day for regular sessions
and an apportionatc amount for spe
cal sessions.
Senate is limited to $500 day for
clerical and all other hire for regular
session and an apportionrnent amount
for special sessions.
Revising sessions are limited to
ninety days at the pay prescribed for
regular sessions.
Vacancies in the legislature are to
be filled by the party committees OF
the authorized political parties of the
districts affected in place of special
elections called by the governor.

Farmers intended to plant a gfeat-
er corn acreage, even as late as May
and June, according to the crop re-
port but were prevented by the con-
tinued late rains of the spring and
the following dry weather, which
caused the ground to cake and be-
come hard.
South and central sections OF the
state were more severely damaged
by drouth, and in the northwest the
recent rains have aided materially
the corn prospects, the report says. ,

Already 4o,6oo,ooo bushels have been
hafve ated in the state, compared W tn
