LOulIiRna's Rights TO Choose Electors as

tPhilad Alphia Times.

It has Just been discovered that the new
constitution OF Louisiana gives to the Logis-
lature to be chosen In December the right to
choose presidential electors next year, and
there is considerable grumbling about II in
the Republican organs. As the constitution
Of the Tnited States allows the same prlvi-
lege and we are now spelling nation with a
big n there doesn't appear to be any help for
It, t was the original method OF choosing the
electors, it was the practice in New York as
late as 1924, up to which time Louisiana held
to the system and South Carolina kept it up
for forty years later. Florida has resorted to
the same method once or twice since the war;
and at the last presidential election the three
votes Of Colorado given to Hayes We're elected
by the Legislature. There are enough State
rights left to allow Louisiana to do as she
pleases about the manner Of choosing presi-
Dental electors.

The Esfbt ordinance.
Ricllland leacon.l


The following resolution of the Republican
State convention should open the eyes Of our
Repatriation friends, and il they are really
sincere in their desire to relieve the State
from as much Of the burden as possible, they
certainly viii not assist those who are OPP
posed to granting nny relief whatever by res
lpctng the debt ordinances Read and reflect
upon this resolution before casting your vote,
and we are satisfied that you will vote for the
ordinance.
"Rrsoirgd. That the recognized position Of
the Republican party as the party of good
fat.s, housekeeping and devoted adherence to
the principle that the right Of the public
creditors must at I'LL hnzarilB be fully and
fairly protected demands jIld the vote Of our
party should as q unit be east against the
debt ordinances Of the proposed constitution
The party Of good faith and honesty, In
deed We Wonderif the writer OF ths rtso-
luton did not blush at his own cl1roHtery IS
he wrote. Since when hts the Republican
party of this State become the party Of good
faith and honesty? It's whole history shows
that its managers at least have been perfectly
destitute of these virtues. That there are
honest men In the party individually, we are
free TO admit Of the honor OF the nnmaees
on the State ticket we have no doubt but to
speak of the party being the party Of good
faith and honesty is Ridiculous. But 1t is not
OF this we wish to speak, it Is Of the result Of
the rejection Of the debt ordinance Of the Con-
st1tutOn. '-a#
It's rejection means the perpotuation Of the
So mills taxation and I per cent Interest.
This Il the light in which those who passed
the above resolution view the s,bjert, and
they are correct The question Ia, will those
who desire relief assist them in doing SO? If
they will only recognize this fact, aud can be
made to believe that this Is really the ISSUE
we do not believe they will, 1t is not reason
