POLI'S.

Sometimes the weakest links OF a
chain, quite parado@ically become the
strongest. And so 1t Is that in THE
Great White Trail" the new Whar-
ton super-feature which is coming to
the Poll Theater today, a tiny pair
of baby shoes is the thing which
surmounts all barriers and which
brings happiness to a sorrowing man
and wife after years OF heartaches.
The story of THE Great White
Trail is a story Of New York and
Alaska-and that Of a man. a woman
and child who must fight the world
before they find happiness. At last
that happiness comes, in the midst or
the great stretches of ice and snow,
where the thousands of mushers are
trailing their slow way along toward
the goal of promised gold.
Miss Doris Kenyon has the leading
role in the production, which was di-
rected by Leopold d. Wharton, also
the author of the scenario. Miss Ken
yon is supported by Miss Louise
Hotelling, Bessie +, Wharton, Paul

No provision is made in the primary law binding the delega- tion to the primary expression and the states representative at the con- ventien- may, if they so choose, swing their weight to another candidate af- ter the first ballot is cast
 Vigorous campaigns conducted by several of the leading candidates and the fact that in many cities and town ships important local issues are to come up at the same time is expected to bring out a large vote this year. Bonding issues are to be ba1loted up- on in many communities.
 That a heavy vote will be brought out in Detroit is regarded as a fore gone conclusion. Here a street rail- way bonding proposition is expected to overshadow interest in the presi- dentia1 primary. The proposal is to bond the city for SIS, 5,000,00o with which. to establish a municipally owned traction system to compete with the present Detroit United Rail way. A hot campaign has been made on this proposition, Mayor James Couzens, it's sponsor, personally speak ing at a score of meetings, and the editorial columns of the newspapers makingl strong arguments on the is sue.

URGES BUYING
 THRIFT STAMPS

Wage earrers of Connecticut have been appealed to by Patrick F. O'Meara of New Haven, president of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, to cooperate with the Thrift plans of the Savings Division of the Treasury department, and to make regular purchases of Thrift and War Savings Stamps. The statement issued by MT. O'Meara is as follows:
 ''Fhe wage earners of the State of Connecticut will readily understand that the greatest asset of our physi- cal and industrial life is to have a substantial reserve when a time comes that such an arm of assistance is absolutely necessary.
 eve can all make a little sacrifice along the line of saving a little money from time to time and it is an es- sential obligation upon our. part as wage earners in protecting ourselves and those dependent upon us to save a small amount at a stated time,' in order to have a set program before us all of the time.

MAY ADJOURN CONGRESS SOME
 TIME IN JUNE
Will Leave Country With out Legislation of I'm
 portance.

Washington, D. C., April 3.-After months largely devoted to political maneuvering and campaign oratory, the Republican leaders in Congress are making plans for the adjourn nent of Congress early in June. It is said that efforts will be made now to speed up the annual app1Upr1a1fon bills and to bring about an adjourn ment sine die before the national conventions.
 In the event an adjournment is taken as planned it must leave with out action various legislative propos- als of importance to the country. That the Democratic leaders in Con gress will protest against an abrupt ending of the session with these naa3- ters still hanging fire is probable. The Republicans fn control of Con gress, however, are anxious to get into thefr campaigns and will make every effort to end the session with l in the next seventy oays. It ts ap- 1 Preciated by them that this is the year in which they give an account 1 of their stewardship and inasmuct as the record Of the Republican Con
 ress has not been satisfactory ever | to large number of Republicans, al i that time that can be obtained is de 1 sired for campaign purposes.

 1ican leadership of Congress will fac' month after month and that Con gress has not proceeded in a bushes like way to dispose of them.

former Speaker Clark repeatedly asked them when the G. O. P. steer ing committee intended to act
 Unless there is unusual haste in the House the bonus bill hearings that have been in progress before the Ways and Means Committee cannot result in actual legislatio before the time planned for adjournment. So unsatisfactory has been the situation regarding a disposal one way or the other of the soldier bonus problem that a committee representing the American Legion served an ultima tum on Congress several weeks ago that it expected legislation within sixty days The Legion proposed any one of four plans for the aid of vet erans of the World War.
 The Republican Congress has failed to act on such pressing matters as the development of the merchant marine policy, notifications in the taxation laws and measures seeking to bring down the high cost of 1iv- ing.
 Much of the time of the House has been consumed in so-caned invesh- gations of the War and other execu- tive departments, while the Senate has wasted month after month with discussions of the treaty of peace! In consequence the upper chamber is just getting to such little legislation as the regular appropriation bills and
 will have little time for major Iegis- lation of a general scope The House
 recently has made fair progress on 1 the annual budgets, bat has side 1 stepped action on various legfslat tive recommendation of the administra- l ton and executive departments The I t,sT @o1 S,f lz r. ! their owners was barely passed be. for the date actually set for the re turn and Congress has been behind on it's work but well ahead in tallI and campaign oratory since it con | vened nearly a year ago.

PREFERENCE OF
 MICHIGAN TO BE
 KNOWN MONDAY
Presidential F re f CT e n ce Primaries to be Held on
 That Day.

Detroit, Mich, April 3-The pre- ference of Michigan Republicans and Democrats for presidential nominees will be registered next Monday in states second presidential preference primary.
 Republicans have a field of seven to choose from, while the Democrats have entered five in the lists. Two of the latter, William J. Bryan and Will liam G. McAdoo. made unsuccessful efforts to have their names removed from the ballots. Withdrawal after certification, however, is not permit ted under the state election laws, and the two names remained on the bal lots.
 An unusual situation results from the fact that the name of Herbert Hoover appears on both Republican and Democratic tickets. The double filing for the former food admins trator was made possible when the states attorney general ruled in- operative, as applied to the presiden- tial primary. the amendment passed by the last legislature requiring from candidates an affidavit of party af- f1iation.
 The Republican ticket comprises l Senators Poindexter, of Washington, and Johnson of California; General PerShlnS, Major General Leonard Wood, Governor Lowden, of Illinois;
 MT Hoover and William G. Simpson | of Detroit.
 | On the Democratic ticket besides i MT. Hoover, MT. McAdoo and MT i Bryan, are Governor Edward L Ed
