Hugh J. Campbell was. in Clinton,
East Feliciana, last week, but found IT
wholly Impossible to organize Radical
club there. He has since returned to
the city In desperation. leaving no Rad
ical clubs in eitheriof the Felieianas to
mark his visit there. i.o RI
Mr.. WIN. +. Watt and DR.. Baird are
prominently mentioned as candidates
FOR nomination to the Legislature from
Morehouse parish Mr.. Watt seems the
favorite. As they are from the same
ward. both can hardly be nominated.
The Republicans, at last, talk Of or
ganizipg q club ih Baton Rouge. They
cannot, however, get up any enthusiasm
among the negroes there. and 1t is very
doubtful whether they can find enough
negroes to form even a nucleus for
club. ...t
The Jefferson parish Republican sug-
Qests Judge Don A. Pardee for Judge,

son mass meeting that suggested their
names. w4
The Morehouse Clarion thinks that in
reward for his many patriotic services
to the people Of this State, GOV. Nc
Emery should be sent to the United
States Senate for the long term. The
Clarion was opposed to Gov. McEnery
as candidate for Governor, but Is now
earnestly and heartily for him as Sena-
tor from this State. IF7
Jasper Blackburn kicks hard and will
not be drilled into the ranks He still
insists Eve would vote the Democratic
State ticket entire before we would
swallow in toto the Republican ticket
the way Il now stands; so II this Is trea-
son, make the most of it--for upon this
rock we stand, and will not move"

Earhart. lately nominated for District

Murrell, Of Madison, Is getting away
with his rivals In that parish white
carpet baggers and scalawags. Murrell

vention to make way for the Dinkgrave
(tax collector) delegation, but is, it ap-
pears, stronger with the negroes than
Dinkgrave and his men. He nominated
himself for the Legislature some months
ago, and will run as an independent op-
posed to Packard and Antoine.
