OVER 300 DELE
 GATES PRESENT
4 Most Enthusiastic Good Roads Con- vention Being Held in Little
 Rock.

Little Rock, January 27.-- When the officials of the Good Roads Association prophesied there would be 200 delegates in attendance at the annual session which opened yesterday, they did not anticipate half that num- her. What came surprised them for there were no less than 22O visitors at the first meeting of the Association and fully 300 ar rived before night. It is the big gest Good Roads Convention ev- ar held in Arkansas and automo- piles could not be found in suf- ficient numbers yesterday to take all the delegates for spin over the roads of the county at the same time, and two trips had to be made the delegates being whizzed over the road at the rate of 40 miles an hours without an accident, more serious than the killing of dog, and that within the last block of the trip on the return. The real feature of the convention yesterday was the speech by Governor Donaghey on the convict as a road worker worker. His speech was about the same as used in the campaign but each point was greeted with deafening applause. When Cover nor Donaghey stated the state had been afflicted in the past with officials who did too little and got the people of the state to expect too little of them, the applause was deafening. The meeting is as enthusiastic as it is large and this afternoon a number of endorsements, will be passed on to the legislature, a. mong them being the approval Of Gov. Donaghey's convicts on the road scheme. Last night the meeting was a lovefeast, every one having a chance to take , minutes in discussing something to make the roads good and there were about 30 of the talks giv- en. Today the regular program is being continued and this af- ternoon the officers will be el- ected.

canvassers with petitions were
started, and the campaign for sigma

The petition as printed is address
ed to the city council. and asks 1t
to pass the street speaking ordi-
nance recently submitted to the city
council and rejected by that body,
which permits speaking on the
street under police regulations. The
party intending to speak must give
the police one hours notice as to

speaking, and the organization un-

The two old street speaking ordi-

held to be unconstitutional by Judge

have ceased to make arrests, are re-

that 1t is possible to guarantee this
