EXPECT MANY TO

According to J. Asa Rountree. secretary, the Alabama Good Roads association is making every effort to secure some of the most prominent speakers and good roads advocates the country affords to attend the eighteenth annual session, which meets in Montgomery october 21-S.

 While in Washington I expect to call on Secretary McAdoo. Secretary Houston, Mr< harding and others, and try to find out what the government ants the south to do. If these Wash ington officials think the states should provide emergency warehouses to take care of the south's cotton supply it will probably be necessary for the states to call special sessions of their lc gislatures in order to carry out the plan But first I want to know what we are expected to do and then the governors when they meet in eonfer- cnce to consider the cotton problem will know how to act intelligently."
 The governor is deeply interested in the proposed conference and announced before leaving for Washington that he will lend his aid and support to any movement which will secure concerted action on the part of the southern ex- ecutiyes.
 Likely to lndorse Walker Although the governor did not make ary announcement regarding probable action of his in reference to the vacant circuit federal judgeship in Alabama. 1t is thought more than likely that he will indorse Judge Richard w Walker Of Huntsville for the place. The gov ernor appointed Judge Walker chiet justice of the court of appeals when that tribunal was created and he IS known to te an enthusiastic admiref cf Judge Walkers varied talents ana l judicial ability.
