IOWA ROADWAY CONVENTION

.More to Better the Condition or Roadsin Iowa.

Des Moines, Aug. 1G. The state con-rentio- n

to be held in tho Y. M. C. A.building in Des Moines today to devisemeans for securing better roads in theItate promises to be successful fromevery standpoint. It is expected thatnearly 1,000 delegates will be in attend-ance, representing nearly every city andcounty in the state. The object forwhich the convention is called is aworthy one and has been discussed attimes for many years. At no time,however, has so great an interest beenaroused as at present, and it is hopedthat the convention will take such actionafter a full discussion of the matter aswill eventually result in something be-

ing done to so improve the roads as tothe inconvenience and loss ofErevent so frequent in this state.

The most sejious problem for the con-vention will be the matter of raising thenecessary revenue for road building. Itis admitted that the present road lawsof Iowa, in at least this respect, areabout as effective as if there was not aword about roads on the statutes. Someregard them as really injurious to theproper construction of roads in thisstate.

Governor Buchanan's inde-pendent candidacy was expected, andbut little 8urpi-iae- " was expressed whenthe published anuouncement appeared.The People's Party meet in state con-vention Thursday next to nominate acandidate for governor and this facthastened Governor Buchanan's an-nouncement, for his independent candi-dacy will be indorsed by tho conven-tion.
