GENTLEMEN OF THE CoMx1rrEE-For the
honor of being called upon to preside over
your deliberations accept my sincere thanks.
While we are permitted to assemble and dis
cuss public affairs and nominate candidates
for the sutfrages OF people free to support
or reject our principles and candidates. there
are those in this land OF ours for whom Nthe
ballot has no meaning and for whose protec
ton courts have no power"
In Louisiana we see the legitimate results
OF An attempt to reorganize society by yiolat-
ing every political principle and ignoring
every lesson of history.
