The Political Pot is Boiling.

The Legislature will meet in six
weeks from Monday next Musicis
now in the air, and the Indications
are that sealps will fly when noses
! are counted OH the Senatorial ques-
ton.
An effort IS being made to gam
votes-pledges-to support Don
Caffrey in the delegation that will
go up to Baton Rouge from New
Orleans; but great deal of bitter
ness exists among the members of
the Legislature, who have been en-.
tirely ignored in the distribution Of
Federal patronage aud bosses can.
not hold the votes of the disaifected
members.
Consequently, Notwithstanding
the attitude Of Senator Don Caifrev
toward sugar, and the acknowIed ged
ability displayed hy him, lie is not
at all sure OF election. He mast
trade votes for McEnery man If he
wishes To 90 back to the Senate.
He cannot stand afoof and reap sue
cess purely because he has made a
record. The administrative cannot
land him without drawing greater
forces 10 his support than are now
controlled by the Fosterites.
A combination exists, or is about
perfected between the McEneryites.
