Swanson Speaks
For Federal Aid for
Public Highways
Virginia Senator Advocates ApprO-
priation of Hundred Millions to
Be Distributed Among States.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The annual ap-
preparation OF $20.OOOO0O for five years to
improve the post roads and rural delivery
routes of the government was urged in
the senate today by Mr.. Swanson of Vir-
ginia.
Contending that despite the amazing
achievements in many directions secured
by the country 1t is notorious that the
United States has the poorest public roads
and highways of any civilized nation. he
said he regarded the subject as the para
mount one before the American people.
Mr.. Swanson explained that his plan
would open up more than 1,00O, 900 miles of
roads to government aid that the states or
local authorities would furnish an amount
equal to that appropriated by the federal
government and that the total would be
divided among the states, according to pop
ulation.
He said the limitation to post roads and
rural routes eliminated any constitutional
objections. The bill would create a road de-
partment, consisting OF engineers and capa-
bic officials to carry out the project. The
measure, he explained. was modelled some
what after the Virginia law.
The federal government" said Senator
Swanson, should delay no longer extend
ing to the state and local authorities gem
erous aid for road improvement When the
federal government commences to bear its
fair share of the burden of the improving
OF public roads. that day will mark the
beginning Of the end of bad roads in this
nation.
1T will open a new chapter in our his
tory, each leaf of which when turned will
gleam with more happy country homes
better schools and churches and larger and
more prosperous social communities. The
American nation would be powerless tC
picture through the vista Of the coming
years the increased health and happiness
the increased wealth and power and the
great moral and material advance which
would come to the republic on the inaugura
ton of this great national policy"

,EEKS TO RECONSIDER THE VOTE
Convention is of Different Mind and
Votes on Adjournment.
JUDGE ENGLAND IN oRATORY
Frank Harrison, Harry Bushnell and
Other Progressive Leaders Pro-
test In Vain in County
Convention.
Rrom a staff correspondent.)

LINCOLN, Neb., July 7.-(special Tele-
gram 1.-THE Norris forces lost the first
round In the senatorial fight today when
the Lancaster county convention selected
Frank n Edgerton. deputy attorney general
and lats clerk TO Senator Norris Brown.
as member OF the state committee from this
senatorial district. Edgerton's name was
reported by a committee, and met with
much opposition from the progresstves.
Postmaster Sizer ended the rumpus by
moving to table motion to reconsider the
vote by which Edgerton was named. and
the convention adjourned with the Norris
men still wondering what had hit them.
Frank Harrison protested against the
naming Of Edgerton, but was turned down
when the vote was taken. Later when the
convention was waiting for the committee
on delegates to report Judge w. II. Eng
land was called upon for speech. He
Immediately flung into the faces OF those
who named Edgerton that they were doing
wrong in placing a man on the state com
mittee who had been so closely allied with
a United States senator In the past and who
virtually owed his present position to his
relationship with that man.
II. H. Wilson, a law partner of T. ].
Burkett, late United States senator took up
the gauntlet and asserted that the conven-
ton should hesitate In taking any action
against a rising young man such as Edger-
ton.
H M. Bushnell. an active member OF the
Progressive Republican league Of the state,
decried the methods OF selecting member
OF the state central committee under such
circumstances and with an important sena-
torial race coming on. He moved a recon-
sideration OF tho vote which made the
recommendation OF Edgerton, declaring that
the matter should be left entirely with the
delegates sent to the state convention.
Postmaster Sizer concluded his short talk
with a motion to table the motion to re-
consider. This was carried by a two to
one vote. Tho naming Of the fifty-six
delegates to the state convention followed
and the convention then adjourned with
little delay.
In the neighborhood OF 200 delegates were
! in attendance. Other than the Norris
Brown George Norris tilt, which occurred
when the convention was idle. the affair
moved as smoothly as could be wished for.
Nels p. Hansen, prominent local re-
publican was named as chairman OF the
| county central committee and fifty-six
delegates were selected by committee,
with no dissension.
