THE chairman of the Louisiana
Democratic campaign committee has
received forty cases of Winchester
rifles and thirteen boxes of cartridges.
These are rather curious kinds Ofcam-
paIgn documents, but are very effec-
tive in reducing the vote Of the oppo-
sition. In an interview the chairman
stated that they would be used to Sc
cure an honest election. This seems
TO be the southern method OF obtain
ing honest ~ elections. Courts are
TOO slow, and then sometimes they de-
eide against you.

of the Henry George theory of taxa

violent opposition from persons who
know the least about it. The Reform

common obstruction across the path
of all, making its removal a common
