To day, through the columns Of the ope.
luusas 55JoURNAL, the Conservative Deia"-
craft Of the Parish Of st. landry, present
their ticket To the public. tts
The issues We make with the se-cailed
Simon pure Democrats, are not to bcchok
e4 down by political wire workers. They
be summed up under thr, q heads:
Isl. While we, in common with all good
citiz4ns, condemn the Iegislationadasigned
to remove from office persons eleeted by.
he people, we ifaliy approve that policy
which was brou hit to bear to fill vacancies
with the be t men IL the parish, and we
endorse, with one or two exceptions, the
G,lherilatertaI appointments SO made.
III We oppose the system Of mob law
and violence, which seems TO have almost
become a part Of the pla form of certain
politicians III this lsarish. Twice in the
last year VI shayeshad . mob. and we have
been threatened with many more. All OF
Id are familiar with these TIL eats. They
SOW bitterness and discard amongst our
selves. provoke the wonder and contempt
of immigrants and strangers, and are utter
Nv r,,inous to- our welfare. The proper.
place To put them down is at the polls.
ad. We repudiaie the Convention Of Au
gust l3in. 1t was gotten up without due
notice to the. people Our candidates would
have willingly submitted their names to- q
genuine Convention Of The Democratic. par
ty, and We would have preferreth 70 50 tie
ouradisputes there. Bat we were never in
formed ahat this convention was sheilig got
TEN pps until many Of the precincts had
chosen their delegates.
The issues which We present are too i'm
portant to be snlothered up BY political
management.
