with idle money in Alabama to in- vest in this bond issue. If citizens of Alabama who have idle money (and reports indicate that there is much idle money in the state now) will purchase the first issue of $s,ooo,000. the money will be kept in the state and outside interests will be held in reserve for other issues
 The amendment providing the bond issue requires that the bonds be sold at not less than par. However, in .quiries in recent weeks would indi- cate that there will be lively bidding for the issue at this rate and there Is hope that a substantial premium will be obtained above the face value of the bonds.
 Az soon as the first bond issue is sold road construction work will be started on a much larger scale and every county in Alabama will be benefited. Local labor and machines will be used, and 1t is the policy of the highway commission. wherever possible. to use local materials.

In the afternoon Judge Brandon will address the people of Dale county at Ozark This will be the beginning of campaign which will take Judge Brandon into a great majority of the counties during the next two months.
 The Troy address will be the first in the campaign since Judge Brandon qualified as a candidate for governor. He has made many addresses during the past three years and has never secreted in the fact that he would be in the race, but this address will be the opening one, the one in which Judge Brandon will tell the people what he proposes to advocate when he is inaugurated.
 Montgomery friends of Judge Bran don are planning to make the trip through the country in automobiles in order that they may be present at the first address. During the past three weeks Judge Brandon has been attending the general conference Of the Methodist Episcopal church. south. at Hot Springs. being lay delegate from Alabama. He postpon- ed the opening of his campaign until he had completed this church work which was placed upon him many months ago.

 Col. Bibb Graves, opponent of Judge Brandon, has already made a large number ofN addresses in support of his candidacy. opening the cam paign more than a month ago with an address at Banner, Montgomery county. Reports from the towns where Col. Graves has appeared in- dicate that he had made a favorable impression and has advanced a plat form which has attracted great in terest
 Friends of Col Graves have realiz- ed from the beginning of the cam paign that there were obstacles, many of them, to be overcome and that a strenuous campaign must be made before tho primary August 5.

 QuestiOnnaires Popular
 Questionnaires, which became so popular with the government and so popular with the Bergdol1s during the war, came into general use In the campaign in Alabama during the week. Every interest seems deter mined to find out what the members of the legislature, who will take cefice next January. will favor anu, in order to have this information m a advance of the primary, has requested every candidate for the legislature to answer a series of questions

The other candidates for the posi- tions-Frank P. Morgan of Mont gomery, Judge John Purifoy of Mont gonrery, Berto H. Johnson of Mont gcmery and John F.

 Commend Pearson
 The Montgomery Wholesale Grocers association during the week adopted resolutions commenting the candid acy of Mir. Pearson. who has been interested in various businesses Of Montgomery for many years. The commendation mentioned that MT. Pearson has been closely identified with the farming interests of Ala bama in the handling of farm prod- ucts for the market and understands the necessity for the proper adjust ment of freight rates in Alabama. Shippers of the state were urged to stand with Mir. Pearson in his cam raign.
 Personality of the candidates must count for much in the contests for the other state offices. No interest is being shown by the voters in the other fights and indications now would cause an observer to believe that the men who have the most ac- tive friends and the most impressive personalities. will win In the races for secretary of state, state treasurer, state auditor and commissioner ot agriculture.
