Twenty-Four Others in Missouri Call Democratic Convention to Elect Delegates. Jefferson City, Mo. April 14.— Fifty-four more of the counties, in addition to those which havealready acted, have fixed dates for the hold- ing of primary elections or conven- tions at which delegates to the Demo- cratic state nominating convention to beheld here in July are to be chosen. Of these fitty-four, thirty-nine have adopted the primary plan, and where this is done, unless otherwise stated, all state officers will be voted for, Eight of these counties will vote on governor alone. The official list of these counties, as compiled in the office of the secre- tary of state, is as follows: Primaries—Shelby county (gover- nor only), April 23; Boone county (for governor and attorney general only), April 23; Knox county, April 283; Scotland county (for governor only), April 23; Clark county, April 23; Cape Girardeau county (for gov- ernor only), April 80; Callaway coun- ty, April 30; Pettis county (tor gov- ernor only), April 30; Lincoln coun- ty, May 7; Montgomery county, May 7; Morgan county, May 7; Texas county, May 7; Howard county (township primaries for governor), May 7; Marion county (for governor only), May 14; St. Clair county, May 14; DeKalb county, May 20; Davies county (for governor only), May 21; Madison county, May 21; Linn county (for governor only), May 21; Moniteau county, May 21; Monroe county, May 21; Perry coun- ty, May 21; St. Francois county, May 21; Wayne county, May 21; Shannon county, June 4; Wright county, June 4; Ralls couaty June 11; Macon county, (for governor ouly), June 11; Adair county, June 14; Buchanan county, June 25; Sa- TY-SIX DELEGATES If Any More Had Been Held He Would Have Carried More. Joseph W. Folk carried six coun- ties in which meetings were held yes- terday, securing thirty-one delegates to thd nominating convention—An- drew 4, Cass 7, Douglas 2, Johnson 7, Nodaway 8 and Ripley 3. Con- ventions were held in the firat four, while primaries were held in the last two, Folk now has a total of 158 un- contested delegates, Hawea 111 and Reed 33, while 35 are contested and 6 uninstructed. The principal fight yesterday was in Johnson and Cass counties, where both sides forecasted victory. In Johnson county Folk carried 18 out of 15 precincts, Warrensburg and another township went for Reed, but Folk carried the others by big majorities. ; Cass sent 53 out of its 59 dele- gates to its county convention instructed to vote for Folk; thirteen are for Reed and three are contested. One thousand democrats of Douglas county gathered in mass convention D “not—a—vote—was- against Folk. Andrew county declared for Folk for governor and Todd for lieuten- ant-governor by safe majorities. Nodaway held a primary. The vote stood: Folk, 1,425; Reed, 169; Hawes, 3,and Gantt 1. Todd for lieutenant Governor carried the county over Rubey—1,528 to 34. Ripley is safe within the Folk column. | | New York Instructs For Judge Parker. Albany, N.
