WHEELMEN ARE GATHERING
To Elect Officers and to Discuss Coed

TO Go Into Politics If They Want
Road Legislation

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 10.-Wheelmen
congregated here today to attend the
l.. A. w. assembly, and although many
states were represented full COM
plement of delegates is not expected be-
fore tomorrow
The convention was called to order by
President Elliott, who, after a few re-
marks turned the meeting over to Chair
man Potter of the good roads committee,
who Immediately introduced Lieutenant
Governor Woodruff, who made an al
dress of welcome. Benjamin 1. Conen of
Portland, Oregon, was introduced as the
first speaker on good roads, who said
Oregon was doing great work in that
direction.
w. e. McClintock a member of the
Massachusetts highway commission,
was the next speaker. He said that
when Massachusetts started the good
roads movement strenuous opposition
was made from the farmers, but when
the system had been in working order
there was change of sentiment ana
now the farmers can be counted ON to
do anything to promote improvement OH
highways.
Hon. A. r. Choate of Minneapolis was
the principal speaker at the afternoon
session of the good roads meeting. High
way Legislation was the subject of his re-
marks. He declared that one law
that of permitting farmers to work out
their road tax instead of paying it in
money-was probably responsible for
more bad roads than any other law, and
at the same time he believed it was more
generally in force in the United States
than any other road law. He said there
was no more vicious law in existence.
In conclusion Mr. Choate urged the L.
A. W. to enter politics, adding: "Polit-
ical influence is great thing if we want
to secure legislation for good roads,
