A POLITICAL COMBINE

Is there a combine, or an under
standing between Champ Clark, Os-
car Underwood and Governor Har-
mon, or a political alliance suggest
ed and devised to secure the defeat
of Governor Wilson in the Balti-
more convention as candidate for
President?
In the primary held in the State
of Illinois on Tuesday Champ Clark
scored by great majority over
Governor Wilson, whose friends
charge that Harmon men were di-
rected to vote for Clark.
If this political scheming is to
prevail in the election Of delegates
to a national convention at which
a candidate for President of the
United States is to bes nominated,
then indeed would this great office
be dragged in the mire.
AS has already been outlined, the
politicians who are dominated by
what is called Big Business, indi-
viduals who are practically neither
Republicans nor Democrats, but
whose eye is always centered on
the main chance, are opposed to
Wilson and will defeat him if it be
possible in the National Convention
when convened in Baltimore in
June next.
As is generally known, Wilson is
Progressive but he has antagO-
niZed the Money Trust by his ag-
| gressiveness and in his insistance
on reforms. Clark is also a Pro-
gressive, while Harmon would be
listed as safe and sound by the in
| terests.
As to Underwood of Alabama he
is simply prospective without the
shadow of chance.
If Champ Clark is not in alliance
with Underwood and Harmon, he
should make this fact plain. The
people of all the parties are watch
ing the politicians.

CEDAR GROVE EXTENSION.
A Sensible View Leads to a Practi-
cal Result.

As anticipated there was little
opposition manifested in the special
election held Tuesday, April 9.
The proposition was to grant to
the Shreveport Traction Company
the right to construct a line of
street railway from the intersection
Of Southern avenue and the BOule
ward to the northern line Of the
Fairfield Heights subdivision, as set
forth in the resolution of the City
Council adopted March 5, Of this
year.
If this proposition had been an is
sue unc0nnecttd with the Cedar
Grove factory addition it would
have been overwhelmed in defeat.
Among the citizens who voted for
the proposition are hundreds who
suIOrinatpd their opposition to the
Traction Company. for the reason
that. as progressive citizens. they

TNr returns as promulgated off

the Council show that 1899 votes
We're east for, and III votes against.
Had the proposition been defeated
there would have followed a delay
in the developing of the Cedar
Grove plant, besides involving the
promoters in a greater expenditure
in money in securing railway con
nection from and to their plant and
this city.
The construction Of the extension
to Cedar Grove is to be expedited as
rapidly as possible.

Dotted swiss seems always to be in

Each season the swisses seem to
grow prettier The spring Of 1912 is no
exception to the rule.

branch Of this interesting swiss family.
1t is the swisses with color that are
especially charming. They come in all
sorts of new and radiant combinations.
There are the dainty and demure
ones with white grounds, with dots or
wee rosebuds and green leaves scat

Then there are the. white ones with
colored borders, and these are delight
full! Sometimes they have borders Of
