New ORLEANS, April 1.-THE
worst rain and thunderstOrms ever
known in this section eliminated to-
day, causing heavy loss, particularly
to the railroads, destroying the
spring crops and completely suspend
ing transportation generally. Sew
eral lives were lost. These heavy
rains prevented a full vote at today's
election. This was the first general
election under the new Constitution,
which DISTINGUISHES the bulk Of the
negroes. Because of the educational
and property requirements for voters
the registration was reduced from
$50, 900 to 124, 900, of which only 1000
were negroes.
Three tickets were in the field, the
Democratic, headed by w. w. Heard,
the present State Auditor the regu-
lar Republicans headed by E. S.
Reams, a New Orleans grocer, and
the fusion, embracing sugar planters
Independent Democrats and POpu-
lists, headed by Don Caffery, son of
Senator Caffery. The Reams ticket
cut no figure in the fight. The Dem
Ocratic majority in the State will ex-
coed 25, 900 based on returns already
in and may reach $4,000. The
fusionists polled even a smaller vote
than expected. The legislature will
be Overwhelmingly Democratic.
But while the other factions cut
little figure in the elections, the really
important development has been
within the Democratic party itself.
The change is being caused by such
men as Hugh Cage, Charles Janvier,
and others who have been leaders in
successful independent movements
in the past, but have at last come to
the conclusion that the reform Of the
Democratic party must come from
within and not through the lash Of
outside opposition. The negro hav-
ing been done away with as a pOliti-
cal factor in the State, it is now the
aim of the Cage-Janvier element to
have honest control of the party,
honest open registration, and honest
elections. Point after point has been
won by this element of the party
since the opening of the campaign,
and Louisiana is measurably nearer
a time when she may hold up her
political head in honor than at any
time since reconstruction first de-
bauched the State government.
New ORLEANS, April 21.-Full re-
turns from the Louisiana election
held Tuesday, April II, gives the fol
lowing results:
Heard, Democrat, for Governor,
80, 242; Caffery, Reputican-Fusion,
1926; Reems, regular Republican,
2,782. Heard's plurality over Cafery
45, 1916.
The Democrats carried every
parish in the State except Ascension
and St. James, and elected every
State and local officer except two
sheriffs, four police jurors and three
justices of the peace.

PORTRAIT PRESENTATION.
Will be Made by Hon. Spencer Clawson
to the University. it

Another evidence OF the public spirit
Of Mr.. Spencer Clawson has been mani
tested in his placing an order for por-
trait Of the late orson Spencer, first
chancellor of the board Of regents Of
the University OF Deseret, which when
completed will be presented to the Uni
yerslty OF Utah at the opening OF the
new building on the east bench. The
work will be executed In oil and Will
be painted by VIII Clawson the brother
Of the donor, and one OF utah's most
eminent artists. A sketch in the Unl-
versity annual OF the establishment Of
the new college is given as a bit OF in
teresting history relative 10 the lnltla-
ton OF the institution and installation

ION the 2sth OF February, 1860. about
two years and half subsequent to the
settlement OF Utah. the Legislative as
sembly OF the provisional government
passed an act Incorporating the Uni
versty OF the State Of Deseret' This
act among others OF the provisional
government. was ratified by the Legis-
lative assembly OF the Territory OF
Utah. October A. 1851. According TO the
charter thus obtained. all authority In
respect to property, government. and

SOME OF THE BEST APPLES.
A List of Favorites for Both Home
Use and Market.

From a twenty years experience In
growing apples, d. A. Blalock, OF I'LL
nols. has come TO think that only a
few varieties are worth planting. In
the o. j. Farmer he recommended the
following as some OF the best:
For summer, Red June. which Is the
earliest OF all. II Is OF medium size
and a handsome red, the flesh Is white,
tender. Juicy and sub.aoid. II Is an
abundant bearer After this comes the
Yellow Transparent, which Is a Rus
sian. This is pronounced by all who
have seen It TO be the most valuable
early apple. The tree Is an upright
grower and very early and abundant
bearer. The fruit is OF good size, pale
yellow, and the flavor Is acid. After
the Yellow Transparent comes the
Tetofsky also Russian variety. which
has proved to be profitable apple.
The fruit Is large, yellow. beautifully
striped with red. and the flesh IL
white. Early Harvest Is an old variety.
but II Is always ready TO bear every
year. Red Astrachan is also good
summer variety.
The following autumn varieties are
good for both home and market Maid
ems Blush. Duchess Of oldenburg, Fa-
meuse or Snow, and Rambo. Good win
ter varieties are Ben Davis, salome.
Belle DE Baskoop, Pewaukee, LAWYER.
or Delaware Winter. II. ]. Greenlng.
Grimes Golden, Mcintosh Red. Streak.
or Dominic, Northern Spy, Winesap
and Wealthy. To this list may be
added Jonathan. Wolf River. Newtown
Pippln and White Winter Pearmain.
The LAWYER. or Delaware Winter. Is
described as an excellent bright red
apple, tree a vigorous grower, an early
bearer and very productive. Salome is
another variety which comes into bear
Ing early, flesh tender and Juicy; color
yellow, striped with red. Wolf River,
fruit large TO very large, greenish yell
low, shaded with crimson. tree vigorous
and hardy, fruit rather coarse. half
