A VOICE FROM LoUIsTANA-FoR Clay!

Correspondence of The Tribune
New ORLEANS, July 4th, 1914.
The Texas humbug has exploded The Wings
of Louisiana have fred volley of Paixhan shot into
the concern, which has completely blown it out Of
the water. "Pok, Dallas and Teras," are among
the things that hare been while the banner of glorious
old Harry of the West looms up proudly triumphant
in this far off region of Sun and flowers.
Our Elections took place Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, tho LIST, I'd and Sd inst The din of the
battle is hushed, and the smoke is clearing away, and
in few days shall be able to make out an
accurate report Of tho 'kilIed, wounded and miss.
ing" AT present, can only assure you that we
have elected one Wing (THIBoDAUx) TO Congress
by 600 majority.
Our Legislative returns Of course, quite ncom-
pete as yet hut the complexion Of such as have come
to hand, gives the most gratifying evidence of sound
and healthy state of opinion among our people,
think we have secured the Legislature beyond all
cavl, and incline to the opinion that we shall have
majority in each House.
In the First and Third Congressional Districts our
friends managed badly, and ran candidates. Good
men would have succe eded in each, and given us
clean Wing Delegation in the next Congress. 1t is
too late to speak of what we might have DONE
We have demonstrated what can do, and rest sat.
istied we pHt give the vote Of Louisiana to Henry
CIny by majority Of thousands OF this there is no
doubt. 1t is as certain as that the sun shines.
We have given the first blow, and we look TO our
friends elsewhere to follow up the good work. We
have defeated the Texas party here their lvovite
ground, the field ofther own choosing And this
you will bear in mind, has been done in midsummer,
oh bun dc &C
went into the battle without organization, and almost
without hope Ifw can drub Loco Focosm without
serious effort in July, what, think you will be its
fate when we concentrate our energies upon it next
! November ? There will not be enough left for seed!
! LATER. New Orleans elects Wings to- the
| House to Locos-the Locos had 400 majority there
! in the election of Senator few months ago. Thus
| far there has been gain Of Wing member of
Congress, and there yet hope the election
! Of another in the fourth district
There is no doubt that the Wings have decided
majority joint ballot
We have returns Of IS Wings elected land de, il
Wing majores on Congress in ST. Lundry and st.
Mary, electng more. This makes considerably
half the House, though the Senate unexpected
ly stands out against us--9 Locos and Wings.
We call this good news. We expected, as the
Locos said it would be, that nth Texas for rally
ing point they would overwhelm us in La. The N.
Y. Tribune Of July II, says
The contest has been spirited in louisiana though
without organization The part Of the Wings. The
votes in the several Parishes render it morally Ger
tain to any who has carefully compared them
with former years, that Mr. Clay will have the vote of
the State by sone to 1000 majority So take
her out Of the list Of the doubtful and place her where
she belongs, with the WING STATES.
