With Twenty-nine Other Governors He Has Named Delegates to National Aid Convention; Some Hearty Endorsements.

Twenty mine governors have named delegates to represent their states in the second federal aid good roads con- vention called by the American Auto mobile association to take place in Washington, D. C., March and '. Cor respondence with the executives in the remaining States indicates that the presentation may cover the entire 4S commonwealths.
 The volume of inquiry pouring in upon the A. A. A. at it's national headquarters gives convincing evil. dence that the people of every sec tion of the country are aroused to the necessity of having the national government do its part in building and maintaining the highways, and the indications are that attendance at the forthcoming convention will be twice as large as at the first con- vention a year ago, and that it will be the most important gathering of good roads people ever held in this country.
 Many of the governors who have appointed delegates are very much awake to the importance of the fed eral aid propaganda, and show that they intend to make it their business to aid the cause in any way possible. Following the quotations from what some of them have said in their letters
 Governor Hunt, of Arizona I am heartily in favor of every movement tending to further the good roads cause in which your organization is so active and I trust the delegates have named will take keen and beneficial interest in the work of the convention"
