LEADS ENTIRE NATION

Alabama has led the nation in its
 majority for good roads. and the
 election in this state will have an
 important psychological effect on
 "eorgta and other states. Illinois,
 vote of four to one in favor of a
 bond issue pales into insignificance
 when Alabama's ten to one is con-
 Sidered- Illinois held the lend up
 to MOndny. Michigan was second,
 with vote of three to one.
 The only southern states which have voted on the issue had defeated it until Alabama voted. Oklahoma defeated fifty-million dollar bond issue for good roads, while Texas defeated a seventy five million dollar issue. Georgia is soon to vote on the question, while the Mississippi legislature is now debating the question of whether or not it will permit the people to decide the aues- tion. Up to this time those opposed to the bond issue have won in Mississippi
 Governor Kilby was happy over the re- suit Tuesday. He mentioned that no per son sought an advantage in the cam paign, that all forgot political alignments and went to work to give the state a sys- tenn of roads Some of the best workers for the bond issue have fought the ad- ministration. Every republican county that has reported has gone for the bond issue Reports indicate that less than a score voted against the issue in Winston, the prize republican county of Alabama
