The Lafayette gazette. [volume] (Lafayette, La.) 1893-1921, 1894-10-13


grace! to you, white politicians,
who would plunge our parish in
filth, in order to seek political fame
and Office from the hands of such
garbage White supremacy is the
cry! The Caucasian race will reign,
and blood or no blood, the negro
will never again enter the political
field of Lafayette parish. The fourth
ward stands solid; our voters are in
line; and 'Cherokee" joins the
many other determined voters to
protect, at any cost, our Royville
poll from an overflow of negro votes.
