Baton Rouge Advocate The claim
that tire Alliance is on-partisan is sim
ply ridiculous. It has all the machinery
and accessories which belong to a poll
tical party, and it elects men to office
on account Of their adherence to certain
well-defned principles. as matter of
fact the Alliance is the old Greenback
party, with some new-fangled nonsense
to catch fresh suckers, and a show of
new leadership to delude the unwary by
q pretence Of non-partisanship.

The Baton Rouge Advocate in speak
ing of the Farmers Alliance says: The
pretense of the Farmers Alliance, of
Louisiana, is that it opposes the revenue
amendment because the lottery is to be
chartered as monopoly. and the order
is opposed to monopOlies. This is Il mere
pretense of the Alliance managers TO
deceive the rank and file of the mem
bership by trick that will keep them
from honest investigation of the merits
of the issue that is presented for their
consideration. Every body knows that
the agricultural attachment to the state
government has been transformed into a
political bureau to "Whoop up y the far
mers and keep them 10 line with the
partisan plans Of the ntilOttery fac
ton, and the Alliance at present has no
better aim or object in Louisiana. 1t is
dark lantern scheme in a double
sense of the word, and is hiding its pur-
poses not only from the people in gen
eral, but from its own members also.
The prefense, as we have said, is that
the Alliance opposes the revenue be-
cause monopoly is behind it, but the
real reason is to strengthen political
faction aud to promote leaders in their
aspirations for fat offices. AS matter
of fact, the proposed constitutional
amendment does not provide for a mon
opoiy. 1t leaves the matter open for
future legislation, simply requiring that
all other lotteries must comply with the
same conditions required from the one
to be recIlartered by tho amendment.
1t says: "All lotteries other than those
authorized by this article are prohibited
in this state, unless by similar amend
ment to this constitution and for not
less than $1,150,00O per annum." 1t
may be urged that no 2 other company
can secure the favor of the legislature
and the people for similar charter,
nor pay the enormous license fee, if the
charter is obtained. This is probably
true, but it is not the fault of the law.
The right exists, and therefore there is
no monopoly.
