IN CADDO.
Shreveport Times: 1t may be perth
nenl to ask the question What does
the alliance propose to do in this par
ish in the forthcoming congressional
and presidential election, and more
especially in the former respect In
asking the question it is merely put as
a general one, but it will be we'll in
view of the third party agitation for
the Democracy of the parish to recog-
nize the fact that they must put the
question to themselves for solution.
For years Caddo has been solidly
Democratic, and the present members
of the alliance have been classed, and
justly so, as among the strongest ad-
herents of the party and those who
have always been true and steadfast
in the ranks of Democracy, and rem
dered yeoman service ia gaining It's
victories. Will they desert its colors
now, when it again comes to the front
with every prospect of success We
do not think they will.
| PUT NONE BUT DEMOCRATS ON GUARD.
Bienville Advance: The peoples
party will not participate in the Demo-
| cratic primlries for delegates to the
Fourth congressional district nominat-
! ing convention. The committee, in ar
ranging the mode of selecting dele
gates, should provide the most strin-
| gent rules which are to be enforced at
the polls. If a person who wishes to
vote is not Simon pure, unadultelat-
ed Democrat, of the first order, he
should not be allowed to participate in
the selection of delegates to Demo-
cratic nominating convention. We
have had enough of that quality of
Democracy which permits man to
help to nominate man and yet. 90 to
the polls and vote against him. There
is neither good sense nor po icy in per-
mitting any such thing in the future.
If the peoples party proposes to put
out candidate let it do so, and run
him against the Democratic nominee
at the general election in November.
where he can be easily beaten and for
ever laid on the shelf.
DANGER IN THE THIRD CONGRESSIONAL
| DISTRICT.
Lake Charles Echo: We can no long,
er hesitate to place the seal of condem-
nation on the movement now on foot
to disorganize the Democratic party in
this district, and to elect Republican
and a protectionist to represent the
Third congressional district in the
next congress. We care not who orr
ginated this movement, or for what
purpose it was originated it should
be at once denounced and killed in the
bud, by every white Democrat and by
every rejecting man in Louisiana,
whatever may be lis political affilia-
tions. Under the false prctext Of or.
ganizing il rice ahl snsar pla..t,:s ass
sOcIatiOn, dozen or so of land specu-
lators have met recently in Jennings,
and have attempted to initiate new
political faction, with the avowed pur-
pose of withdrawing from the Demo-
cratic party the support of all the
white votes of this district who are
engaged in the sugar and rice indus
tries. They call upon all voters, irres-
pective of party, to unite with them to
defeat the regular Democratic nominee,
and to elect to congress Republican
who favors protection to rice and to
sugar. Take care, fellow-c citizens of
Calcasieu, and of the Third district
this is not the first time that the wolf
in sleeps clothing las endeavored to
enter your fold. Protection is the
"catchword,n but the trump of the
Republican party is the object, and
negro rule is the inevitable result.
