THE BEE: OMAHA. THURSDAY. DECEMBER P. 1021. Third Party to Meet Todav At Grand Island Intimate of Attendance Im jioViMe a County Con cntioiu D'ul Not Report Nml 500 Signers. Grind Island, N"cb Dec. 7. Dele jjjtfi plcdgM at county max meet in;; to a new political platform ad hiiict to tlic formation of a new po litics! patty in Nebraska are to meet line tomorrow lor tlie purpose o perfecting legal orsaui.ition, adopt ing a platform, selecting a title ami electing a Mate committee, to Uy the ground work for the active participa tion of the party in the V22 Nebraska primaries. These were among the subjects that ilcliiiitcly bad been announced for the convention, nioht of them contain ed in resolutions and required by st.tulc to be adopted brfure a politi cal party can enter the Nebraska field, raramuunt is the legal ! mand that the convention have 50') ignel delegates duly elected and rcp reentative of their districts. The committee in charge of ar rangement of the convention has notified the tempoiary state commit tee that all h in readiness and that no time should be lut in formalities. In order to complete tiie business that is to come before it, the com mittee pointed out that county or ganisations should be organized and he prepared to transact business hn-T nied'atily after assembling. J Attendance Big Question; How blanket representative of the state the delegates will be was not to be ascertained in figures prior to calling the convention to order, but prominent leaders of the-movement declared there would bp more than the required number of delegates present, as the response of the various counties had been almost un iversal, according to reports lure. In this respect, leaders felt assured of representative attendance. The state committe wag unable to state how many counties had elected delegates at meetings held last Saturday, as reports had not been ordered, but it was indicated in private opinions that practically all counties held meet ings. Since the time tlic foundation of the new party was laid at the Lincoln meeting, there have been numerous utterances as to the policy and pro gram of the proposed party in the way of endorsing candidates, affili ating with other parties, selecting a name and outlining planks for the platform. Taking the consensus of expressions of the apparent leaders, what instructions to delegates are available and the sentiment that has been voiced in those organs who in dicate they are favorable to the pur poses of a new party, it appears that the endorsement of candidates at convention time tomorrow would generally not be approved and that affiliation with any other party would he frowned upon. Numerous names .have been suggested by parties over the slate, but generally disapproval has been expressed by the adoption of ?ny of the political titles now in use or a coal:tion of names of political Parties k which may contain a few of the principles advocated by some ad herents of the new party. Leaders Are Confident. , On the other hand, calculating from unofficial reports of attendance at the county meetings, it is indi cated that in but a few localities were the meetings attended by more than the number of delegates alloted to the county. In others it was nec essary to draft names for delegates. In all instances, however, judging from these reports, sufficient names were signed to officially represent the oimty. The new party 'will name candi '.ales for congressional as well as .tale offices. Some counties have in truded delegates to hold out for na 'ional offices. The representation de cided at the foundation meeting called for an eaual number of men and women delegates. It was definitely established that United States senator R. M. La Toilette of Wisconsin, invited to ap pear at the convention, would not be present. J. G. Browne of Chicago, an executive of the farmer-labor party, has written expressing a wish to see relations established between his party and the one proposed. J. A. H.

Chief Outlines Work of Public Roads Bureau Expenditures on State and Federal Highways This Year $111,362,863, He Tells Convention. T. II. MacPonald, chief of the bureau cf public roads, United Stales Department of Agriculture, was the principal speaker before the annual convention of the American Asso ciation of State Highway Officials at Hotel oFntcnellc yesterday. Mr. Mac Donald gave a resume of ' ttiM t. rtrl- eA ttiA lnivr.ui ti mitilirl roads and its projected policies in handling1 federal aid. He also took up transportation problems which he says must be solved from an eco nomic standpoint. According to figures cjled 'by the chief, the estimated registration of motor vehicles tilts year is 9.750,000; 8.404.000 are automobiles, the re mainder trucks. Expenditure for all road was J600.0OO.0OO. "From 1910 to 102 the potential number of motor vehicles demanding highway service increased more than 1,800 per cent," he said. "Ex penditure during the same period in creased 400 per cent. "In the period, 1918-21. motor ve hicle increased 700 per cent and highway expenditure about 200 per cent." This increase, according to Mr. MacDonald, was due to favorable leg islation and the accumulation of funds which had been voted, but which could not be spent during the war. In 1921 the estimated cost of date and federal roads under construction was $I4I..1o2,8o5. Of this amount $59,900,615 was spent in state aid. The total mileage of roads was 6,986. Aid Legislation.
