President that Nichols has full possess

this from the fact that 1t would be i'm
possible to bind any man or set OF men
In this section to it's fulfllment; and no
matter who makes that compromise,
even Gov. Nichols with all his popu-

The policy of Federal Interference in
the domestic affairs OF the States, and
Of Louisiana in particular, was violative
Of the constitution, subversive OF the
liberties Of the people and 30 damaging

ask nothing but to be let alone and we
demand that as right.
