SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Aug. B.
A political turmoil Of almost un-
precedeuted proportions has been
precipitated in the Republican party
by the sudden death Of President
Harding. This was the opinion
heard on every side among poll
ticians here today.
President Harding was virtually
assured Of denomination next year

no doubt at all in the minds of Mr..
Harding's personal and political in
Inmates that he would be q candi-
date to succeed himself
Now Mr.. Harding is gone. AS
actual and titular leader Of his
party, strongly entrenched by virtue
of his great office, he held in check
the many divergent elements of the
party. He held the whip hand over
progressiVes and conservatives alike,
and while they chafed over 1t, they
nevertheless stayed in line on ma
jor matters of party policy.
Who will succeed Mr.. Harding as
party leader is q question trembling
today on the lips of all political lead.

From the present outlook 1t is
Thought that this program of road
construction will cover a period of
from Is TO 20 years. Many states
will complete their mileage in a much
shorter time as they have included In
the system a considerable mileage of
improved road They will then en-.
large the f~ederal-ald system by includ-
ing additional mileage.
When the system is complete the
total improved road mileage OF the
country will be far greater than the
$4,000 miles Included In the system.
How much greater II is hard to say,
but In all Of the states the system has
been outlined, keeping In mind that
state roads independent OF f~ederal-aid
will connect with 1t.

The selection of the roads to com
pose the system of federal-aid higf.-
ways which will reach into practically
every county In the United States Is
progressing rapidly, according to the
bureau of public roads of the United
States Department OF Agriculture.
State federal engineers have held nu-
merous conferences during the past
summer in all sections of the country.

The system is being outlined In ac-
c0rdance with the requirements Of the
federal highway act of last Novem-
Der, which contempIates a system of
highways to be built with, federal
aid such as no other nation has ever
possessed and which. ono built, win
be continuously maintained In service
able condition. Eighteen feet will be
the minimum width of roadway unless
conditions justify a lesser width, and
such cases must be given special APP
proval. The system will consist of
not more than 7 per cent of the total
road mileage In any one state, not
more than 81 OF which will be pri-
mary or interstate highways, and the
remainder secondary or inter-county
highways. The total mileage of pri-
mary and secondary roads viii be APP
proximately $4,000 miles.
Work has progressed rapidly on the
system during the past year and TO-
600 miles of road have been completed
In conjunction with federal-aid. These
