One Of them declared that 1t was his
understanding that State Highway

spend and that If the federal appro-
priation of 5000. 600 were added to
funds available for good roads he could
not spend it before the next regular
session of the Legislature convenes and
takes action in the matter.
Another candidate was fearful that
Ii the legislature is convened at this

Some of the expressions follow:

They know that the definite time-savings
and pencil-sayings effected by Eversharps
