BOND ELECTION IS
 EASILY WON F ITS
 FRIENDS WILL VOTE
Sentiment of State Seems Overwhelming In Favor of Getting Permanent
 Highway System
ny FIRED II. GoRMLEN

Montgomery, February 15.-(Spccial. l~
 Voters of Alabama will decide by their
 ballots Monday whether or not the state
 will construct a system Of highways con-
 meeting all county seats and will issue
 bonds to the value of s250OO.Oco during the
 next twelve years with which to match
 the federal appropriations already made
 and yet to be made.
 If the bond issue is authorized work
 can be started on the roads without de-
 lay If it is not authorized Alabama's g pro rata share of the federal road appropria- ton or so much of it as the state can
 not match will go to other states No organized opposition to the bone issue exists. In some counties thers IS ! opposition, but the Alabama Highway Improvement Association believes a great majority of the voters are in favor of better roads and believe the method proposed by highway builders and the Alabama legislature is the only feasibie one. The bond issue is proposed as an
 amendment of the state constitution. II i it is carried the state highway commits sion and the governor will Issue only a certain percentage of the bonds eacn | year, selling no more bonds in any one year than are needed to match the fed eral appropriation.
 l Not one penny will come out of the | general fund for interest. Automobile licenses will pay the entire interest and will create gradually sinking fund with which to take up the bonds as they come due In order that tho licenses may ne sufficient to meet the interest and create
 the sinking fund the legislature in Sep 1 tember raised them 50 per cent and re- | gardless of whether the bond issue Is 1 carried or defeated automobile owners

Indications are that the campaign for state offices will be tame Little interest is being manifested in any fight Few persons are even discuss ing the senatorial contest and it is an unusual thing for one to mention any thing connected with the other offices to be filled. State offices which will, be filled in the primary follow: Two positions on the supreme court, one rosition on the court of appeals. presi- dent of the public service commission. commissioner of conservation, four delegates to the national convention from the state a large. two presi- dential electors from the state at large Tn addition, ten congressman must be named

would like to run. and his friends are pointing 10 the fact that he has a per sonai following which put him at the head of the state democratic eXecu- tive committee at time four years ago when the opposition won every other office and that he has added to hls following by his service in the army. Colonel Graves has declined to discuss the reports. but he has several times frowned upon the suggestion that he be a candidate for president ot the public service commission.
 UNDERWOOD ORG ANIMATION
 Tn the meantime the organization which will back Senator Underwood for reelection has been formed, is moving now in all counties and, ac- cording to announcement, will gain momentum as 1t is needed after March IT. Lloyd NJ. Hooper chairman of the Underwood campaign, will spend prac- tically all of his time in Montgomery after March l. During the period of organization members of the campaign committee have not considered there was any need for him to devote his entire time and resources to the cam paign.
 Friends of Senator Underwood say they are satisfied and many appear to be enthused over reports of general support throughout the state. One in- teresting report during the week was that a majority of the county cam paign managers are men who have been aligned against Senator Under ood in various campaigns of the past. It is claimed this demonstrates that the senatorial campaign cannot be fought on partisan issues and issues which do not in any way affect the future pol icies of the government.
 Although some labor leaders are fighting Senator Underwood. friends ot the senator during the week declared there never was a time when all labor men could agree and that Senator Un- derwood is certain to receive his full share of the labor votes

 Washington. February i5,-tSpeeialo The farmer not only feeds the world, but his innate conservatism has long been acknowledged as the strongest guarantee of the perpetuity of the re- public In this instance. when the in dustrisl element of the United states seems bent on having it's way or pre- cipitating revolution in one of the several ways a revolution might find expression. the farmer of the country is remaining true 10 his long estab- lished principle.
 He is on record through the express sion of his representative in Washing ton as denying that organized labor, or any branch of organized labor, pos sesses an inherent right to strike. The statement of the farmer is stronger, and goes further. than it was expected it would go, and it is stronger and goes further than that of many other men, who, in principle, agree with him.
 It has been tentatively admitted by members of Congress that members of labor unions possessed the right 10 strike, except those engaged in trans portation under the direction of inter state commerce. That exception was made because of the general knowledge that any strike which eliminated trans pcrtation would result in nation wide suffering, and death of the young and very old in all congested communities. But the farmer not only holds that trainmen have no inherent right to
