When on Monday the Governor win be furpished with the result of the canvass Of eiectton returns which be- gan Saturday morning, he VIII pro- claim to the people that the first amendment to the Constitution of Ala bsma Is in effect: This is the Over ton. or the good roads amendment. voted on at the recent general eiec- ton. At the same time he will pro- claim that the amendment calling for sessions ot the Legislature every two years instead of every four has been lost with the people as well as that 0ne providing for new methods of forming new counties In the State.
 Saturday morning the last probate judge had mailed to Secretary of state Prank N Julian the slection returns as aseertained by the count of the konnty board of supervisors. All in all, the county officers were fairly prompt in their work. at least In getting the figures to Montgomery. but 1t Is ad- mitted fin ofiieial quarters that there was no authority for some of the io- cal boards waiting until Saturday to cahvass the. returns when the statute directs that this duty shall he per- formed on the Friday following the election.
 AAt9 0ALtG 6OdEQ3 GDAHA&AAAk DA +RN Governor. the Secretary of State and the Attorney General completed the count of returns last night at q lRto hour. but decided not to make the re- suits public until the ngures are given | to the Governor for proclamation. This ia expected to be Monday. The procfa nation. if Governor Conner follows the custom of his predecessors will ns | forthcoming on that day. or the aarne day on which he receives the count | It is not known what the Governor will do but he win probably issue fvt 1 separate prociamations. One win hs for the general results of the electfef November 3. and the others respective Iy for each of the three aTnendmentl submitted and the result of the specia election for naming the successor ot the late Congressman 4. A. Wiley t' i'll his unexDlred term. This had beer called for the same day as the gen eral election.
 I sufacient has been learned about tn general results of the State Board,
 work Saturday to state that the vot
 for President and Vice Presidents ral far ahead of the vote for the amend
 nents or any one of them. It is con
 ceded that If either the election fo
 the amendments or the general cleo ton had been held on different day
 tn total poll would have fallen shor
 In each instance. ThIs means tha
 combining the propositions on tn
 same day served to draw out the heav
 lest vote possible Still 1t is not ye certain that the aggregate poll fo
 President and Vice President in 190
 hes been surpassed or even equaiied D,
 this years record. Heavy rains pre- vailed in some parts of the State No
 vefnber 8. and this cut down the bal
 lots greatly.
 The next official act with regard |
 the election will be the forwarding t
 each member of Congress elected
 certificate of the vote cast for an
 against him. This will serve as hi
 commission to take his seat.
