The remarkable versatility of the
new wagon bed Is secured by hinged
malleable iron pieces attached to the
sides. These support two folding sec
tons on each side. The strain which
is put upon these pieces when heavy
loads are placed on the wagon makes
1t imperative that they should be of
strong. dependable material.

be called a hard winter, an unusual
amount of snow, steady cold weather
with very few days warm enough to

has been a nice winter in some ways.
There has been less wind than usual,
and only two or three days during
the winter that a man could not be
out and do his work comfortably so
far az temperature and storms ere
concerned. Also, the steady but not
extreme cold has made the winter one
of very little sickness in this section.
Farmers were able to nov a large

the approach of spring will put the

Landry Man Honored With
Chairmanship.

'sThe Democratic Good Government
League" is the name of au organiza-
ton, formed within the ranks of the
Democratic party at a meeting held
at the Grunewald Hotel last Monday.
This is the name Of it.
But it is understood to be simply
and absolutely an anti-administration
movement. With few exceptions, it
is composed Of ardent opponents Of
the administration; good men and
good Democrats, true, but men who
are on the outside looking in, "
About 150 men attended the meet
ing at the Grunewald, and there were
as many Ex" Office Holders as there
are colonels in Kentucky.
AS we said before, the assembly
was composed Of good, sturdy men,
men who have in the past done much
for the Democratic party and for
white supremacy and for the State.
But
As Colonel Wilkinson entered the
hall he was eheered to the echo, !"

Colonel Wilkerson is the gentleman
defeated for Governor by Gov. San
ders and the news item above quoted
we'll explains the motive of many of
the organizers of the Democratic
Good Government League"
The Clarion likes to see grande
ronde" in politics.
In other words for the benefit of
people who do not understand what
the term grande ronde" is-the
Clarion believes that if a man wants
Office, or wants to see friend or
relative in office, be should come out
and say so. and not use Reform as
a stalking OK.
IF the "Exes" want to wipe out
the Ex" afix TO their names, they
should come on their merits and ask
the people TO support them--tell
them that they are out IN the cold,
and want to get inside and warm.

the reason for his voting against the

clearly that the parcels post would
be Of incalcuabie value to the country
merchant, as it would enable him to
get direct from The factories, ut b

Thus spoke Hon. James. ]. Bailey,
candidate for Congress from this
district, in reply to question from
the Clarion man.
1t seems that the Pujo people have
been very Industrious in circulating
the report that Mr.. Pujo was the as
yior Of the rice industry, and that it
would be a calamity to that industry
IL he were not returned to Congress.
It has been charged, without con-
tradiction, that Senator McEnery,
and not MIR. Pujo, was responsible for
the duty on rice; and the fact that
Che prominent rice people Of Acadia
parish, the rice center of the world,
are supporting Mr.. Bailey, would go
to confirm the statement that Mr..
Puio had never been oyerzealous in
bis efforts for rice, or rather that
IL the Calcasleu man is friend OF
rice, he has been able to accomplish
yery little-not enough to inspire
the confidence OF q large number "
rice people.
But. according to the above inter
view with Mr.. Bailey, the st. Landry
man is in line with the rice interests,
and will do all in his power to con-
serve that industry, as well as other
interests of the district.
It is not reasonable to presume
that he would do anything else, and
the claim of the Pujo people that Mr.
Puio is the only man in a big district
like the Seventh that can protect her
interests, is not built on a solid
foundation.
1t is campaign buncombe, that will
not be swallowed by the thinking
voter.
