I believe the answer is:

ins

'helpful connections' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ins that I've seen before include "Party of government" , "Ruling party" , "- - and outs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, the Universal and the Newsday.
