Farm Bill to Be Changed
Southern Democratic Senators Aid Cotton Growers
Washington, April 10.—Southern Democratic senators have laid down a deal to change the McNary-Hungen farm bill so as to give full protection to cotton
Half a dozen amendments have been drawn by the southerners with two ideas in view:
1. Increase the equalization fee revolving fund from $250,000,000 to $100,000,000 and that $150,000,000 may be made available for cotton alone.
2. Withdrawal of autocratic, anarchy from the proposed government bailout scheme would counsel would have veto power over the board in case of a dispute as to the failure to pay debt.
The amendment involving these theories have been submitted to Chairman McNary of the senate political committee it was learned today. It was indicated McNary may incorporate the amendment in the bill.
If he does it means that the bill will get 16 more votes—problably enough to pass the senate over the expected vote of President Coolidge.
The dispute over the cotton feature of the bill has persisted. The Senate, McNary arrows to them with perhaps some minor details, and the bill will prespect tomorrow.

"Lowden Will Be Best Bet Against Hoover," Buehring
Illinois Chairman Is First to Announce Complete Personnel of His Delegation
Forty-nine cities, five states, and three countries will furnish the 61 students who will represent the state of Illinois at the mock presidential convention on the 25th of this month. The candidates will address, *c.28*, chairman of the group.
While a Lowden campaign manager has not been formally appointed, it is probable that this work will be done by the Illinois-based thistle Lowden booster. Baxter is a native of Illinois and a nephew of Lowden's brother, the leader of the Illinois legalistic, and believes that through contact he can provide assistance for the other campaign managers.
The Illinois delegation will be third to the highest at the convention and is the first to formally announce its personnel. It will go to the convention hall instructed 160 per cent for its personnel, Lowden, according to Buching.
Baxter Mav Manage Campaign
Lowden's chances for the nomination have increased decidedly due to the fact that he was elected during the primaries. To date, in delegates actually chosen, Hoover still has the lead but Lowden has come into a strong second place with his 250 votes. No doubt the ballot be will be assured of around 250 votes which could be built up quickly to 300 or more if the other six states' forces in an attempt to stop Hoover.
Bacheloring, who will make the nomination speech for Lovetown at the mock convention, is very optimistic of the outcome. He believes that at least until the Howver question is decided the nomination will back Lovetown as its only bet.
Chairman Is Optimistic

Voting Machines Are Not Available for Hill Elections
Ouffit Cannot Be Secured in Time for Local Use, Student Council
Reports
It is possible, according to Kimble, that the machine could not handle the complex student ballot with its long voting time. For this reason, voting for four council officers and from one to eight council representatives in addition to from two to ten separate candidate buttons would be required. In the college, for instance, a total of 44 separate buttons would be required by each of the nine canvassers on campus martet ticket.
Mechanical voting machines are not available for the Hill elections this spring. This announcement was made by the 28S chairman of the Student College election committee, following a conference of the political science department.
Imbability to secure a machine at the time of the campus elections is the main reason for not trying the election. If the appurtenance cannot be secured before the first of May, As student elections must be held between April 1 and 2) under the council constitution excluded from consideration this year.
Possibility of using the machine was investigated by the council several weeks ago at the suggestion of the political science department, but it was discovered that the department the plan was dropped when it was discovered that the machine not be secured until after the constitutional date for Hill elections. Continued investigations and the council election committee chairmen to confer with Professor Guild again on April 5, the day Easter recess started. On account of the inability to secure the machine the first of May the machine was dropped.
Use of the machine was considered only as an interesting experiment and did not prove anything more useful to Kimble. The great cost of voting machines makes their use in student elections a challenge.
The limited capacity of the machine made possible use at the Hill election site. A few weeks ago here consists of only one unit it could be used only in one polling station, and no other units if used there it could handle only half of the voters, as only 600 or 700
There are other difficulties, provided a machine could be shipped here as soon as possible, according to Professor Guild. The outfit would have been the first to receive an Apple New Jersey. This would require from one to two weeks' time, leaving too short a time to properly educate the electorate to use of the machine. It takes at least two weeks to explain how to operate public, according to publications.
