A CONTRACT
Winn Parish Delegates to the In
ton Rouge Convention Named
Ry Committee,

BY Committee.
On March IL the Democratic State
Central Committee Of Louisiana fix
ed June 4th as the dat" ON which to
hold State Convention for th"
nomination Of delegates to the Bat
timOrc convention. The State Com
mittec dccrprd to each parish com
mitIcc the right to determine how
the delegates Of The parish to the
State Convention may be chosen, by
primary, parish conventions a mass
meeting or by the parish committee.
itself. where there is no opposition
in said committee TO this last meth
cd Of selecting delegates.
The ink with which these proceed
ings Of the State Convention is
scarcely dry. when the committee
of Winn Parish met at Winfield and
proceeded on March IL to name del
egat6s to the Baton Rouge cOnv"n-
ton.
Why such haste?
The assertion is venturcd that
probably, not half Of The Democratic
voters of Winn Parish knew. or
have been informed of the meeting
and Of the action of the State Con
mittec held in New Orleans.
If This be q fact how could the
Democrats of Winn Parish have tn,
opportunity to determine how they
would select the delegates to the
State Convention?
IT is more than jxty days before
the date for the convention called
to be held at Baton Rouge on June
4th.
As a contrast to the hasiy action
of the Winn Parish committee j.
cited the proceedings Of the Caddo
Parish committee, through which
every Democrat in Caddo Parish
qualified to vote, is given an OppOr
tunity to express his choice Of dele
gates to the Baton Rouge convention.
for presidential candidate, and foI
National committeeman.
The apology of the Winn Parish
committee for their action is thai
there is no money to cover the pri-
mary expenses
This was the pretense offered by
the State Committee in their evasion
Of State primary, but it has fail
ed to impress the Democrats of av-
erage intelligence.
IF the State Committee had not
favored convention, the ways and
the means for n State primary could
have been provided, as Caddo Par
ish has planned.
IT Is comforting to reflect that af
ter the June 4th convention, which
promises TO be "cut and dried
combination in the interest of priv
ileges, there will be no such conven
ion held in Louisiana.
The people, that is the Democrats
Iwho vote. will not stand muzzlinf
by convention proceedings nor nom
by executive committees.
The primary system is 'ho only
flair, honest and Democratic method
lof expression.

Facts About Street Car Extension to
Cedar Grove
70 the Voters of Shreveport:

10 the voters OF shreveport.
Being Interested in the extension
Of the street car line to Cedar Grow
and feeling that every one who de
sircs the progress Of Shreveport IS
ALSO interested, we have examined
the contract and taken the liberty
of stating The following facts and
conclusions:
1. The franchise asked for This
extension is down Southern Avenue
and will occupy only about 400 yards
of the dedicated streets of the city.
the remainder being on private pro
perty. The franchise for this ex
tension to expire at the same time
that the present franchise on South
ern Avenue expires, and no othe,
franchise is asked.
2. The fare from Spring and Tex.
rs Street, one block east of the
Phoenix Hotel. TO the end of the
line in Cedar Grove, is to be fiv,
cents with the usual fare for school
children. and the same from Cedar
Grove to Spring Street with through
cars for the entire distance.
3. The line TO be constructed with
the best material, and is to be
straight from the intersection ol
Southern Avenue and Boulevard
Street to the terminal in Cedar
Grove. with grades not to exceed
one and onelhalf per cent. This
will give the most direct and short
est service between the city and
lCedar Grove, and on account Of the
straight track and shorter distance
Twill make the time about fifteen
minutes less than If the extension
was made from the present Fair
field line, and this shortening Of the
lime is a most important feature.
4. The work Of construction is tc
commence within thirty days after
1.-The granting Of the franchise and
the line is 10 be completed to Ce
ldar Grove inside of one year.
Remarks: The approximate cos
tfor constructing and cquipping this
line will be siiO,0O000 and we ear
say most truthfully that The Trac
Ition Company is not undertaking Il
at this time on their own initiative
lbut of the earnest solicitation oi
those living in Cedar Grove and th,
factories located there and thos'
citizens who believe that the devel
opments brought about by thi
lmeans will add materially to tn,
Iprogress of Shreveport.
| The extension of street car line
everywhere is immediately followe
by material development by reaso
of bringing cheap lands for homes
in direct communication with tn
commercial part of cities. With TIL
large factories being built in CT
dar Grove and their employees re
auiring numbers of houses and Tn
country between Shreveport and Ct
dar Grove made convenient fo
homes, n very large developmer
ran reasonably he anticipated fror
the extension of this line.
This is d movement for progrc:
and means greater Shreveport an
we ask you TO join hands with l
$ in making it great success.
