~ Capt. Sam Lambert, the late
and lamcnted George Wilson
Reese and the present editor, rs
the champion of schite supremacy
u the ''simes that tried mems
sOulr--the ever memorable CAM
psign Of '76-when scalawags and
their negro cohorts were wont to
ride rough shotl over the white
people, Of Wet Folicisna not al
one, hut of tho entire State, and
the pure and immaculate hammer
Of true Democracy lay trnmplcd
in the dust by the despicable al
lens who rosc to prominence and
to power ut the hands of their
tlusky, ignorant and corrupt con-
stituency.
Al thi. juncturc the Fcliciana
SExrIxEL made it, appearance in
the field and with "White Supre-
macy" q. tie watchworlbsttled to
overthrow the Obnoxious domina-
tioa and to lift the snowy banner
from the mire into which It had
been sunk aud to replace It on the
lofty pedestal from which vandal
hands had ruthlsssly torn It. The
shibbolsth ofthis paper 1t the OPP
ening of the combat was ''white
supremacy. ''the white man to
rule" was IT'S cry throughout the
conflict aud 1.-THE white man does
rule" wits its triumphant cjacula-
ton when the battle closed IN slo-
ry for Democratic arms! And
from that day to this the Fclici.na
SENTINEL has never falteredS Va
its persistency that the politics of
this Parish this District and this
State should be controlled by the
white people and the direction
thereof dictated through white
primaries.
This question is of the most
paramount importance ut this
time. Within the first weeks of
October tho State Central Com
mittec will hold Its meeting and
soon thereafter our Democratic
Executive Committee will be call
ed upon to provide for the sclec-
ton of parish officers and for del
eg:,tes to the District and State
Conventions.
At one time recently we were of
the opinion that II slight rclaxa-
ton of democratic usage, 80 far as
concerns paroch'al and district
affairs, might not be attended with
any detrimental result, but closer
obrervat,on and investigation con-
vinces US that Republican machl-
nations arc realty - work, and
thus are We admOnished to insist
upon the strictsst enforcement of
Straigbtout democratic usage in
the selection of candidates for the
several local Offices anil for dele
gsees to the conventions. Let
every candidate and every dele
gate obtain his credentials direct
from tho white people. Let our
Parish Executive Committee pro-
vide for democratic white primary
elections in each ward. to be pre-
sided over by regular commission
ers and at which only whltc DEM
ocratic voters will be permitted to
cast their ballots, the Executive
Committee TO constitute a return
ing board to canvass the votes and
promulgate the result. Such .
course will certainly subserve the
best Interests of the party, and no
matter whose corns it n,sy tread
upon OF what individual interests
Il may contravene, in the name
Of the great democratic purity we
say let this fair, safe and straight
out democratic plan be rig,dly ad-
hered to and enforced.
We know from experience in the use
