Q AcTs SPEAK IoUDaR THAN woRDs,n

We have taken occasion frequently to use this
caption, and very probably will use it again
prior to the close Of the canvass. It is good
caption--a significant caption-a telling cap
ton. It speaks directly to the understanding,
and no one can mistake its meaning. It demon
strates useful fact-a practical truth--which
every man, no matter how ciroumsoribed the
sphere Of his experience, has realized in his
own person Therefore, a repetition OF its use
may be justified on account Ut the value Of its
application
We have said, and demonstrated, time and
again, that if the anti Americans were to DO
judged by their acts, instead Of their ,perds,
that they would lose--at least ought to lose
the entire vote Of the adopted citizens Our
reasons have been clearly and distinctly set
forth in these columns. We have shown that,
while the Antics professed unqualified devo-
ton to naturalized citizens, they took especial
pains to erclade every nsturalized citizen from
their State ticket. That while they denounced
the Americans for proposing amendments to the
naturalization laws, they nominated Col Da-
wilson for Congress, as we'll as other gentlemen
for import ant Offices, who were in favor Of a
total repeal Of the naturalization laws. That
they nominated Mr.. Miles Taylor for Congress,
In the Second District, when, in the Constitu-
tional Convention Of 1916, he voted to require
four gears residence from adopted citizens
after receipts Of certificates Of naturalization,
together with many other evidences Of similar
import
In addition to this we have shown that, not
satisfied with State ticket exclusion, Congress
sional prescriptiyeness and intolerance, they
have put forward for the most lucrative offices in
the parish of Orleans, gentlemen Who we've noted
for their zeal and ardor not to say hatred and
bitterness, although their acts would warrant
such conclusion-agaias adopted citizens
and foreigners generally! And while prov
ing these assertions, in addition to the nominees
for Congress aforementioned, we have published
the name of VIM. G. Aud, anti Amerioan oan-
didate for Clerk of the Fourth District Court,
and A. w, Seates, anti American candidate for
Tax Collector Of the First Municipal District.
Both of these gentlemen approved and signed
native American addresses of the most intoler-
ant character Those addresses are on record,
and we have published numerous extracts from
them-b bitter, sarcastic and soathing upon for
eigners, as cur readers will well remember
Yet these very gentlemen are now the pecu-
liar pets of foreigners! Would it not be we'll
for the parties thus sought to be humbugged, to
turn q deaf ear to sweet words for moment,
and reflect upon the acts of these very same
persons when they essayed the establishment OF
an iron rule Of prescription We merely throw
out the suggestion.
In addition to what has been heretofore pub
lished, the following precious morceast has been
resurrected. 1t needs not o word Of comment !;
and we submit it, as it is, merely asking our
readers to glance at the names of the Chairman
and other members of the committee:

obtain signatures to petition for the repeal Of the natu
radiation laws, held at the Cont Street Hotal on the
