I am trying to array the blstI

consequences Of such a nominstu
l do not waive my right either
seek or accept il, for l think Ih1
Us gooefa right to submit my nom
for that Office as the editor d
Pnayune or any other au
lChcers.
And if I fail to do it, it is from
love Of the State, from patrts
and from a desire to create a friend
~ feeling between the whites al
blacks. This is the only rpas
why I have not boldly proclaim+
myself il candidate for that biz
office, and right here, l assert td
there is not within the borders .
Louisiana a single solitary mal1
who with one-tenth part the chanc4
