A resolution was passed by the con-
ference affectinug the numbering of
reads throughout the state. Accord-
ing to this resolution, counties should
number the roads in their county
systems to conform with the number-
ing cf roas in the state and federal
sy sterns. Thus a road, having thle
numbers201 in one county, will bear
the same number when it continues
on through the next county. This will
make a uniform system of road num-
bering Ir county roads throughout
the state, and will prove a great aid
to motorists.

paper waw read y Le J. Rothgey,
of the civil engineering department of

Arbich followed the dinner.

States in the development of his main
subject of the present sit uation in re-
gards to the Michigan highway sys-
tem. ie pointed out that the total
mnileag; of trunk uines in the -state at

most in debt.

earlier experiences ,iboard tamden

anecdtces len up to a serious comment
upon the danger at gradr crossings as
they are a the pr(sent. He mention-
ed, in pressing his points, the student
and faculty deaths which have occur-
red at a nearby railroad crossing,,
quoted figures to show that the rail-
roads were able to bear, in part, thej
better separation of crossings, and
aasked the association to act upon the
matter.

Wood, State Commissioner of Pardons
and Paroles, who spoke for a few min-

Willis of Ohio, Dwight W. Morrow,
Governor John Fisher of Pennsyl-
vania, George Wharton Pepper of
Pennsylvania, Nicholas Murray But-
ler, president of Columbia universi-
ty, and Senator Borah, chairman of
the foreign affairs committee were
mentioned by Dr. Cuncannon as the
niost likely dark horse candidates.
The Democrats, in their party,
have Senator Walsh of Montana,
Newton D. Baker of Ohio, Governor
Al Ritchie of Maryland, and Senator
George of Georgia. All of these men,
in the opinion of Dr. Cuncannon, are
possible dark horse candidates for
the nomination in the event that the
early balloting fails to result decis-
ively.,
The dark horse is called in several
ways, according to Dr. Cuncannon.
President Garfield, in 1880, was cho-
sen in this manner because he was
floor manager for John Sherman of
Ohio, an unsuccessful candidate.
"Like John Alden he pleaded anoth-
er's case so well lie got the prize,"
Dr. Cuncannon said. Willian Jen-
nings Bryan gained the nomination
as the result of a brilliant oration,
and President Harding was chosen
because he was known as chairman
of the 1916 Republican convention.,
Generally the dark horse candidate
receives a few votes on early ballots,I
but sometimes, as in the case of
James K. Polk, the first dark horse,c
who received no votes until the i
eighth ballot and was nominated on
the ninth, a man is entirely unheard
of in the voting during the early
part of the convention.

Hughes, chairman of the American
delegation at the sixth Pan-American
conference, amid the applause of the
representatives of all the republics of
the western world, today, threw the
whole weight of the United States be-

At the same time Mr. Hughes out-

the maintenance of American peace.
He was again enthusiasitically ap-
plauded when he declared his country
to be "opposed to any acts of aggres-

nothing but the prosperity, independ-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.---The Re-
publican political spotlight shifted
momentarily today to New York state,
where party leaders have maintained,
a studied reticence toward all the can-
didates.
George K. Morris, Republican chair-
man of the Empire state, visited Pres-
ident Coolidge and although reports
of a revived "draft Coolidge" cin-.
paign preceded him to Washington,
he said afterwards that he did not
discuss presidential politics with the
President. He indicated that he felt
it unlikely that Mr. Coolidge would
be a candidate and that nothing had
taken place. to modify the determina-
tion of state leaders to send an un-
instructed delegation to Kansas City.

treasurer of the Curtis-fof-President

conference with Senator Curtis claim-1
