Women In Back Seats
DOdging Issues

The Republican state conven-
tion in session at Kansas City is
in much worse condition from
the stand point of harmony than
was the state Democratic conven.
tion at any stage of its proceed
ings. Women broke the slate
made up by men party leaders
for delegates to the national con-
vention and a compromise was
made with them by which they
are to have one fourth of the
delegates, that is, one delegate
and one alternate. Miss Alma
Sasse, woman state chairman,
suggested that men be given the
whole delegation for the reason
that it was important that ex-
perienced politicians be on hand
and women had not yet sufficient
training and insight. 1t is OBJ
served that Republican women
delegates are much more docile
than were the women at Joplin
but with no disposition to stand
altogether on the dark side OF
the screen.

lican state convention will com
nit itself to no stand on the lea.

will not appear nor will endorse

GROSS STATE ROUTE
Engr's Now Serving thru County
st. LOUIS, Kansas City Route
Bad Sections First

Four highway engineers under
the direction of the firm Kerr &
Wasser Of Kansas City have es-
tablished headquarters at Key
tesville and begun the survey
thru this county for the State
highway between st. Louis and
Kansas City north of the Missou-
ri river. The engineers engag-
ed here are c. F. Wasser, C. M.
Kerr, ]. T. Osborne and W. Il.
Wasser and a few local men will
be employed by them.
The highway started Tuesday
locally and Wednesday the engi-
neers started at the east city
limits of Brunswick surveying
east. The county is divided into
three projects east and west and
two north and south. The first
east and west will be known as
the Brunswick project and will
extend about A miles east, the
second known as the Keytes.
vile project will extend from
the road running north between
the Daily and Kothe farms, thru
Keytesville and to the Jim Welch
farm and the third project will
be known as the Guthridge mill
and will include from Chrane.
vile to Geo. Blakeley corner,
The other two projects will be
known as Charlton county east
and west project and Charlton
county north and south project
and will include the remainder
of the roads east and west anG
north and south respectively.
The state highway department
has directed the engineers ir
charge here to make all speed:
with plans and specifications or
the three projects that grading
and bridges and culverts worl
may be started at the earlies
moment practicable.
The sum of $1,000 the mile il
available for the work on these
highways and the fills in bottom:
along the routes and worst places
in the roads will be given atten
ton first, enbankments across
bottoms will be "a ft. across tol
and invariably made high enough
to be above possible overflow ant
all culverts and bridges mad,
wide enough to make no percep
tible narrowing of the road.
Of course this improvement
will not be completed over tn,
80 miles in the county this yea
but there will be enough done t,
make the highway attractive t,
tourists.
The engineers will survey
make plans and specification
pertaining to corners, cuts, fills
culverts and bridges and esti
mate cost per mile and on these
bids will be received for contri
button. Contracts will likely b,
made for construction of on
project and work in progress
while such details are beini
worked out for another and 81
on until the so miles shall hav,
been completed in this county.
