 Make Strong Bid

Brussels, April 1o.--The Socialists are the most active, and present more united front, than either tho Conservatives or the Liberals in the intensive political campaign now un- der way In preparation for the Bel gian elections April 5.
 Of the great political parties divid- ing the entire representation of the last chamber, tho Socialists were the first to get their electioneering going full blast. and there are many political observers who believe that unless the conservatiyes, under Premier Theunis, and the liberals headed by M. Hymans, got together on q common platform, the left group has splendid opportunity of coming back with q clear majority.
 The Socialists are especially strong in the Ghent cotton district, where the party now owns some ten mills, both spinning and weaving. have their own commission purchasing houses for raw material and own their own private bank. The so-call- ed bourgeois and capitalists parties orators have been making many caustic comments to the effect that the Socialist party is the greatest capitalist in Ghent. t|
 The Actiyists, who came into prominence during the German oc- cupation through their dealings with German Governor Generals Von Bisslng aud Von Falkenhausen are conducting very bitter campaign, calling for the complete separation of Flanders from Wallon.
