 WALKER
 Thomas J. Calvert, representative from Walker county: Montgomery. March IS, 1921.-I have been away from my county most of the time for the past three months, but have kept in pretty close touch with the people and from the sentiment that seems to rpevaii believe, with just a little cam paigning, the voters wolud ratify the amendment.

Cheap cotton, unemploy- ment, etc, but taking all this into consideration our people want roads. They want them badly, and with just enough campaigning to explain the amendment and it's effects I feel con- fident that the people of Walker county would roll up a nice majority for it.
 ''If the special session is called, l shall, as a member of the house, en- deavor to push this one measure through and then adjourn without . lengthy and expensive session.
