 Range Homestead Bill
 The range homestead bill which recently passed the senate but has not been concurred in by the house, was carefully discussed and the position taken that before such a law could be operated with practical success, classi- fication of the public lands must be insisted upon. This attitude is sup ported by friends of conservation gen. orally.
 On Political Situation | "The political situation in Colorado is 1 very interesting. Governor Carlson, the present republican governor, who | just won out in the primaries after making a straightforward fight for pro l hibition will undoubtedly carry the state and there seems to be a prac- [ tically complete union of republican and progressive forces in Colorado.
 This same condition I found in Kansas and Illinois. In the former state Governor Capper, the republican governor, who has given a splendid progressive administration and who ! has been a leader in the fight for real prohibition, will undoubtedly be re- elected and there seems no question 1 but what Hughes will carry the state by handsome majority. He is re- ! win ha xyiOn of well known Kansas progressives as [ Wm. Allen White, Henry Allen and ex- Governor Stubbs.

 At Chicago I had a conference with western members of the Hughes na- tional campaign committee and also with Mir. Frank Hitchcock of the ad- visory committee, all of whom realize that there is a splendid opportunity tc carry Arizona this fall and are going to send to Arizona some of the best national speakers including Senator Borah and Senator Burton; and while l was there it was decided that MT Jas. R. Garfield, former secretary ot the interior, would make one or two addresses in Arizona early in October and there is at least a possibility o1 Colonel Roosevelt including Phoenix ir his western trip now under considera ti0n.
 Good Roads
 'ln the east. particularly in Iowa and Kansas, I found an increased in terest in good roads and better l.aving A number of the smaller cities that visited such as Waterloo, la; Manhat- tan, Kans., Wichita, Kans., and Ar kansas City, Kans., are building many miles of first class paving. Arkansa: City, which is right on the edge ot what is known IS the mid continent oil field. with less than fifteen thou sand population. has nearly twenty miles of paved streets within it's bor- ders.
