brest, Lathe most pleasing bit
news that has reached this section
FOR some months is the rumor that
work is soon to be resumed on the
EudCra Gilbert branch of the Missouri
Pacific railroad, completing the loop
between Calvert Station, the present
terminus, just above the Richland Par
ish line. and Gilbert, La, a distance
of about forty-five miles. This will be
hailed with delight, as it gives an
outlet to the south and puts the sec
ton in direct touch with the great
port of New Orleans and the Eastern
and Western points. Most Of the
right of way along the line has been
cleared and it will take but a short
while to complete, owing to the Level
condition of the country.

Sullivan went to Democratic headquar- ters soon after his arrival, and dls- cussed the political situation in the Empire State with Chairman Mack. Although he has been away from New York for some days, Mir Sullivan has kept in touch with matters political in the big city. He told Chairman Mack that he was much pleased with the outlook of Democracy the country over.
 The thing that has impressed me about this campaign" observed Big Tim. "is the fact that Democrats are working in harmony. Factionalism from what I have observed and learned has about faded from the Democratic party. There is unanimity among Democrats in the West and East alike for Bryan and Kern. This Is true of Democrats in New York as we'll as of those in Colorado. Of course Tam many is all right. We have always supported Bryan loyalty and this year we are going to put up the stiffest kind of a fight all along the line for the National and State tickets. We have a fine chance to carry the State this year. and we fully expect to do so. Take 1t from me that Tamfnany will do its part towards bringing about this result"
 T have been in the West as far as Seattle" continued Big Tim, and I want to tell you that I was surprised when I learned of the strong Bryan sentiment all through the West. EV- anywhere went heard of number of Republicans who have announced their intention of supporting the Democratic ticket Roosevelt Republicans take to Bryan more than to Taft. It looks like a Democratic year to me"

 Considerable space was used In cer- tain newspapers, but most of It was devoted to dismal efforts In trying to speculate as to what the brilliant Sem ator's attitude would be In this cam palgn when he Is ready to let loose out in Ohio and other States.
 At this writing Mir. Foraker Is an { enigma to the men who have been trying to find out just what his politj- cal feelings are.
