meeting of the convection.
Ex-Governor Sanders who resides
in Bogalusa will also retire from Wash
ington the same date. He was de-
feated for the senate. II he is not In
cluded as one of the four, yet to be
named by Governor Parker, it is said
his friends viii urge his election to
one OF the places.
There are stin other contending fore
es in the sixth There is field OF good
material and it IS possible a candi-
date may spring up from among the
Ellises, the Reds, the Billiards. or
other numerously prominent families
in the Florida parishes.
Out in the seventh, there Is a big
field Of possibilities. e. B. Dubuisson
Of OpeIousas, who was strongly OPP
posed to the convention under the
Parker call, is nevertheless strongly
urged by friends to become a candi-
date before the district convention
when it meets in Lake Charles. The
name of Ex4Congressman A. P. Pujo
of Lake Charles, had been linked with
that of M Dubuisson, prior to the
appointment of Judge Winston Over
ton, and thereby giving recognition to
Calcasieu by Governor Parker and al
so prior to the snow storm in Cal
casieu for everyone opposed" 1t is
now believed likely that some other
name may come up for this honor.
AS the lawyers have so far dominated
the convention, it Is said there may
be move to give recognition to a
captain of industry, of which the
seventh district abounds. There is H.
H. Gordon, naval stores man and for
mer large timber operator at Reeves
and the head of anyone of a dozen
large industrial plants. If lawyer is
to be chosen the nemes of Captain
C. A. Mccoy, who carried on the loren
sic battles with Judge Gilbert L. Du-
pre-, or Leyland H. Moss may be con-
sideration. Acadia, jeff Davis, Allen
and Beauregard are also in the dis
trict, as we'll as Cameron, and it is
possible one of these parishes will de-
mand recognition.
Three Mentioned in Eighth
Up in the 8th district, there are
three commanding figures as the con-
yention date approaches: Phanor
Breazeale, ex-congressman, of Natchi-
toches; John H. Overton, of Alexan-
dria, both lawyers and Henry E.
Hardtner, conservationist and rich
lumber operator, of Urania.
Friends of Mr.. Hardtner want to see
him in the convention. He has not
expressed himself, so far as known,
but it was thought at one time that
The star-progress. (Opelousas, La.) 1917-1921, 1920-11-10

Mr.. Hardtner would be among the ex-
ecutive's twelve. As that list Is prac-
tically closed, it is now thought that
he would be admitted by the eighth
district convention, to represent that
great and growing enterprise in this
Acknowledgment of cut-oVer pine
lands, and reforestration.
Mr.. Overton, according to one rum
or from Alexandria, will not approve
of any consideration Of his name,
since his brother, the new associate
Justice succeeding Provosty, has been
recognized and appointed from an adj
Joining district. If Mr. Overton declines
as it is said he probably will, and I'M
less the bankers insist upon recogni-
ton and the sending of a man like
Bolton, or Hill or one OF the other
Alexandria group of financiers, it
might be that the district wound set
tie on Breazeale and Hardtner.
Gossip Over Chairman
Congressman Breazeale has been
prominently mentioned in times past
as the likely presiding officer Of this
constitutional convention. However,
wise forecasters, in close touch with
Baton Rouge, are of the opinion that
when Governor Parker headed his list
with Lieutenant Governor Bouanchaud
that it would be his wish to see Mr..
Bouanchaud made the presiding Off
Ger.
1t is practically certain that the
convention will meet in the. hall of
the house of representatives, at Baton
Rouge, which already has 11S desks
with room for the additional %. Mem
bers of the convention will draw SIS

with thees necessary readjust-
ments before US, believe the duty Of
the banks of the country Is clear. 1t
is their duty to interpret the needs of
business in view Of these foregoing
considerations. Since the banks
touch all phases of industry and bust
ness, they are able to obtain broad
er view OF the total business situation
than is the individual business man,
whose enthusiasm or anxiety over his
own line may obscure his vision to the
greater need and even to his own
best interests.
"The banks have seen clearly the
necessary of conserving our credit re-
sources lest the financial structure Of
the country should become over-ex-
banded and weakened. They have
seen too, the need of production,
price stability and adequate trans
portation. They have realized that
our DuSIuSSS SACI SASo uIuSb MI pO vi
verted from these requirements. See
ing these things clearly it has been
their responsibility to act in accord
ance with them.
Therefore, believe that it is due
to a misconception or to failure to
give due weight to fundamental facts,
if business feels that there has been
any tendency on the part of the banks
to fail to cooperate with it to the
fullest extent in the present business
era. Seen in it's true light, the atti-
tude of the banws has been the only
true cooperation possible. Any other
attitude on their part would have
been incorporation, making more
difficult the period OF readjustment
and recovery to normal, stabilized
business, which is what we all want. "

The following interesting article ap-

with the district conventions to be

tr1cts of Louisiaai TO choose two dele

would not be averse to sitting in the
1921 convention. On the whole, ten
days prior to the convention, the pol
itical drift appeared to be towards
Sundbery and Butler.
Williamson Groomed In Fifth
The fourth district, of which
Shreveport will be the convention seat
is full Of convention material. A
prominent man from that district
said the action of Gov. Parker-wheth
er he picked anyone from that sec
ton for his remaining four-would
largely determine who would be put
up at the convention. Incidentally
three of the four candidates elected
from Caddo, were among the Stubs
leaders in the state primary: Frank
Looney, Judge J. G. Palmer and ex.

Candidates From Orleans
These eight conventions will meet
at IL o'clock noon, and elect their
own chairman and officials.
A number of candidates for dele
gates.at-large from congressional dis
tricts, have already sprung up, either
through the political gossip, or by
personal announcement.
o. D. A. delegates will dominate
the first and second district conVen-
tions to almost unanimous degree.
From the first, Col. John P. Sui
llvan and Judge Chas. B. Claiborne,
the latter from the appellate court,
are metioned for delegates.
From the second, number OF
names have been mentioned. Harry w.
Fitzpatrick, o. D. A. leader Of the
Thirteenth Ward, is backed by that
organization, for one of the places.
Thos. E. F'urlow, also o. D. A. and
member Of the democratic state CEN
trail committe from the 14th ward,
has announced his candidacy and is
actively in the field. Report is that
if one. place is given to the city wards,
the other will go to the country por-
ton of the district, which includes
the parishes of Jefferson, st. Charles
st. John and St. James.
Contest Likely in Third
There is a rumor that the women
will demand recognition at both the
first and second congressional con-
ventions.
A contest may develop in the third
district. Report is that it would be
pleasing to the administration to see
ex-senator Emile Sundbery of Ma
poleonville, recognized by the conven-
ton that NETS in Thibodeaux. Sen
ator Sundbery was a staunch Parker
supporter and when leaders of AS
sumption got together on Philip H.
Gilbert and George Guion as the dele
gates from that parish and put them
over without opposition, 1t was whis-
pered about that possibly the COVER
nor would include Sundbery in his
twelve or that the district convention
would make him one of its two.
Meanwhile, however, other aspir-
ants have sprung up. When the Sund-
berry candidacy was first mentioned, it
was limited that L. o. Broussard the
Abbeville banker, would make good
running mate for him. However, the
governor took care Of Mr.. Broussard
and appointed him. Since then, Sen
ator Robert B. Butler, of Houma,

Extends Time For
 Payment Of T0xes

Blytheville, Ark, March 16.-Wiil Pyles, president of the Farmers Bank and Trust Company of this city, took it upon himself to call oGv. Brough Monday and ask him to extend the time for paying state and county taxes in the Chickasaw- ba district of Mississippi county 50 days fro mApril 10, the time set by law to pay taxes for penalties are added, owing to many people having their money tied up in the Bank of Blytheville, which closed it's doors eWdnesday.
 The governor issued the procla- nation, which will greatly relieve the financial situation in this city. It is believed the bank situation is progressing satisfactorily. The bank commissioner will issue a statement in few days. It is given out on reliable authority that all the depositors will be paid in full, although their money may be tied up for time. There is no alarm here over the bank closing and not a dollar has been withdrawn from the other banks. Business is pro- ceeding as usual.

CLAIMS HE INVENTED TANK

Peoria, H., but now who lives in Peroria, H., but now who lives in retirement in California, claims the credit for the armored battle tanks which played such an important part in winning the world war.
 He invented the caterpillar tract or and bases his claims on the fact that the army tanks were developed from his idea.
 The British royal commission on awards to inventors is Investigating the subject to determine who is to be credited with the honor and MT Holt will present his claims to that body and ask that he be given the award.
 Among the claimants for the hon. or are Gen. E. D. Swinton, who says he first conceived the idea of an armored tank from seeing a caterpillar tractor in German city; Sir William Ashbee Triton Maj. Wilson and Col. Crompton, oi the British army.
 Each 1t is said, claims to have prepared the first model of the ia. nous war machine
 Murry M. Baker, general mana. ger of the Holt Manufacturing Com. pany of Peoria, H., declares that Benjamin Holt should be given ful credit for the invention.
 We can prove that as early as October, 1914, letters were sent to the British war office in London suggesting that the caterpillar trac- tor, with and without armor, be useo in the war;" said MT. Baker in dis cussing the question. Later the same suggestion was cabled to the British army officials. The battle tank is the evolution of the cater. pillar tractor based upon pat ents of the Holt Manufacturing Go It is a development of the invention of Benjamin Holt and 1 think he is entitled to all the credit.
 British army officers got theil idea of the tank from the caterpil. lar tractor. Col. Crompton, one of the British claimants, in his tes timony before the commission or awards says he had been astonished when he saw a demonstration o1 some of the machines and at that time remarked: If the Americans
