GOOD ROADS Meeting
New Association Organized
Oil Belt Route Assured.

The independence meeting of the
Kansas Good Roads Association
was we'll attended and much business
done. The purpose of its meeting
was to start a movement for good
road to Kansas City from Winfield.
In order to get this started at once
q new association called the Oil
Belt Route Association was organ
lied, with H. w. 10y of Chanute
as its president. This organization
will have charge of the work of the
Oil Belt Route which is to be put
in from Kansas City through
Olathe, Ottawa, Garnett, lola,
Humboldt, Chanute, carlton,
Thayer, Morehead, Cherryvale,
independence, and through Chau-
tauqua and Cowley counties to
Winfield.
Much of the road is already in
good condition but all that is not is
TO be put in good shape. The
hardest proposition the new organ
ization is up against is In Anderson
and Montgomery counties. Chau-
tauoua county has rougher country
but they have already thirty-eight
miles of their road in good con-
dition. From Thayer to lola very
little work will be necessary. The
rest of the roads will be graded
and dragged, and an effort will be
made to get the counties to put IN
concrete bridges in place OF the
wooden ones which are now in use
in some places.
The Oil Belt Route Association
will have Its next meeting here IN
Cbanute on the 10th of July sno
delegates are expected from several
counties to report on the progress

Democrats Can Unite
Upon
BY C. S. ALBERT.

=
WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 5-The
two dominating political parties of the
United States have held twa of the
most interesting national conventions
ever held in this country. The Repub-
licans, at their convention at Chicago,
had battle royal for five days, in
GLIDING a portion of the nights. and
the Democrats. at Baltimore, engaged
in more prolonged, and almost as
strenuous a fight
The progressives in both parties were
trying TO overthrow the machines OF
the conservatives or reactionaries. AT
both conventions the opposing factions
We're very bitter. Some of the Incl
dents and scenes at Chicago and Bal
timore are likened to those of days just
before the French Revolution in
France. Serious riots were expected at
Chicago and many fist flights marked
the progress of the Baltimore conven-
ton. The tension was so high that
upon the slightest provocation men
were ready to fly into each others
threats.
Two striking characters took part in
the Chicago and Baltimore conven-
tions. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, for
two terms President of the United
States. was in Chicago to lead his
forces in person, but did not appear
on the floor of the convention He
was on the ground. however, and made
known his desires and purposes to his
friends in the convention. The active
participation of candidate in con-
vention which was to pass upon his
candidacy was most unusual, and
caused much comment 1t is believed
by Mr.. Roosevelts friends that Mr..
Roosevelt would have Jared better had
he remained at home. But Mr.. Roose-
