Arizona republican., 1922-03-27
GOVERNOR CAMPBELL
To NAME DELEGATES
TO ROAD CONVENTION


With delegates coming from almost
every state in the Union from Maine
to California, it is both fitting and
proper that Gov. Thomas r. Camp
bell, chief executive OF the great state
of Arizona, should desire that his
state have the banner delegation at
the convention OF the United States
Good Roads association, United States
Good Roads show and the Bankhead
National Highway association which
meets in Phoenix, April 24-29.
Gov. Campbell has been requested
to appoint 500 men and women in
Arizona, selecting the most enthusi-
astic good roads boosters, men who
have vision that state development
comes through statewide improved
highways. to represent the state Of
Arizona at the coming convention.
Already Arizona has made wonderful
progress in road building and espe-
cially Maricopa county. The fame of
one county for issuing $3.50, 1000, 900
of bonds to build a system of high
ways has gone forth throughout the
nation. This alone will be the mag
net which will draw a large number
of prominent and influential men of
the national government from the
various states to assemble in Phoe-
nix to ride over these wonderful
roads, to learn of the methods of
building the same as well as how
the people of Arizona arouse such
enthusiasm at this time in the history
of the country.
ARIZONA should have the biggest
delegation of any state in the Union
and every delegate that is appointed
should be expected to serve as
member OF the reception committee
and make it part of his duty and
pleasure TO help entertain the dele
gates from other states. 1t will also
be the duty of those selected by Gov.
Campbell to attend the convention,
for 1t will contain an educational
value that cannot be secured by any
other meeting. There viii be good
roads machinery here and the latest
improved models. There will be good
roads exhibits galore. There will also
be an exhibit from the federal road
department which will be worth while
for every citizen Of Arizona to see.
To attend the convention will be to
make an investment. 1t will be an
occasion for the people of Arizona to
meet their relatives, their friends and
to make new friends 1t will mean
something to meet and get in touch
with men who are national figures
in the life of the nation and know
the views of those who have won
great regulations and who are recog-
nized authorities in the progressive
world OF national highways The
delegates appointed by Gov. Camp
bell who fail to attend the conven-
tion will overlook golden oppor-
tunity personally and for their state.
1t is believed that when the roll call
is made very few of the delegates
who have been appointed to repre-
sent Arizona will not be present.
Gov Warren r. McCray has ap-
pointed. a large number of delegates
to represent the state of Indiana at
the coming convention. In appoint
ing these delegates he writes: Il
sincerely trust that of this number 1t
will be possible for Indiana to have a
goodly representation at your coming
meeting" At the 1921 meeting of the
association Indiana was represented
by quite a large delegation who took
an active part in the meeting of the
association.
Judge W. L. Watson OF Ashland,
KY. state director OF the United
States Good Roads association from
that state, writes that he expects 10
attend the convention, and that quite
a number of the delegates who have
been appointed to represent his state
are arranging to attend the conven-
tion and to visit a number of cities
in the west.
Director General j. A. Rountree
left this morning for Tucson, where
he goes to deliver an address at the

Trades association. He has been re-
quested to tell of the plans of the
coming meeting Of the United States
Good Roads association, good roads
organization and the work that has
been accomplished by the Bankhead
National Highway association. He
