WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The President
is preparing a message which he will
send in to the Senate, after first submit

will make full but elaborate statement
of the facts in connection with the Fed
eral proceedings in Louisiana in sup
port of the United States Courts. The
President is opposed to aLy legislation
by Congress, ordering new election In
Louisiana, although he has no heslta-
ton ln saying that there is no doubt
that the late election was an organized
fraud from beginning to end for the
benefit of those now in possession OF
the Government Of that State. and that
there has never yet been fair account
of the votes; that the present result has
been reached by dishonest means too
we'll known to be repeated. Still, 1t Is
his opiuion, as recently privately ex>
pressed, that Congress has no more
right to order new election in Loslsla'
| ma than it has in any other State, be-
cause of local conflicts, all States now
being on an equal status in the Unlon'
for illegal or unconstitutional lnter1er-
ference by any branch of Federal Gov
ernment as they are against INVASION.
