The Congressional Primary.

called upon to assemble at their
various polling places and cast
their ballots for the candidate of
their choice for Congress; and also
to elect member of the Congress
sional executive committee.
The candidates to be chosen be-
tween are Hon. N. c. Blanchard,
of Caddo, and Hon. E. G. Hunter,
of Rapides.
For member to represent Grant
parish on the Congressional execu-
tive committee for the next two
years, Mr.. John M. Anthony has
been agreed upon by both factions
of the party, and will probably
have no opposition.
Under rule six, the following are
the commissioners who have been
selected by the friends of the two
Congressional candidates to hold
the primary election Sept. LIST:

In the foregoing list it is possible
that parties have been designated
for the candidate who may not be
their choice for Congress, but this
need make no difference about their
acting as commissioners, as they
have been selected as capable and
honorable citizens, whose action
will meet the approval of the par
ty in whose interest they have been
selected. Taking this view of the
case, it is hoped that no one who
has the interest of the Democratic
paaty at heart will fail to serve.
The following are the rules un-
der which the election is to be held,
and the commissioners will be ex-
pected to follow them as closely as
possible:
The Congressional Executive
Committee for the Fourth district
met in Shreveport on the 9th inst,
and adopted the following resolu-
tons relative to and governing the
nomination of q Democratic candi-
date for Congress from this dis
trict:
I Whereas, there are dual commit
tees representing the party in sew
eral parishes of the Fourth Con-
gressional District, and whereas
by reason of it there is danger of
rival delegations being sent up
from such parishes to the congress
sional convention, should that
mode of nominating a candidate
be resorted to; and whereas such
contention in the party would be
productive of further factional bit
terness and strife and would bring
into the contest for the congress
sional nomination issues foreign
to it, and would precipitate upon
the convention struggle between
existing factions in the party.
Therefore.
Resolved first, that the nomina-
ton of a Democratic candidate for
Congress in the Fourth District be
made by primary election conduct
ed on the same day throughout the
district at the polling places estab-
