To the Democratic Voters of
Bossier.

The Executive Committee of your
parish adopted a resolution at their
meeting on the 4th instant providing
for an expression of choice by the
people for United States Senator at
the primary election to be held on
the 23rd. I am glad Of this, for it is
in line with proposition which I
favor and support, viz the election
of United States Senators by popular
vote, instead of through the machine
ry Of the Legislative assemblies OF
the States, as now.
Owing to the short time to elapse
before the holding of the primary
election, I will not be able to make a
personal canvass of the Parish. I,
therefore, adopt this means of adj
dressing you.
Profoundly appreciative of the
generous support always extended
me by the people of Bossier, I re-
spectfully ask their reimbursement
for Senator at the primary referred
to.
In March OF last year I was ap-
pointed by the Governor to the SEN
ate to succeed Hon. E. D. White, re-
signed. Subsequently-In May fol-
lowing-I was elected Senator by the
Legislature to fill the unexpired term
Of less than three years. The Leg
islature to be elected in April will be
called upon to choose Senator for
the full term following my half torn
Until became Senator, North Loui-
siana had had no immediate lepresen-
tative in the Upper House of Con-
gross for nearly half century. In
all that time both Senators had come
from South Louisiana. Now South
Louisiana has one Senator and North
Louisiana the other. In the Senate
have pursued the same public
course which appeared to meet your
approval while I was the representa-
tive of the 4th District in the Lower
House of Congress. Ihave support
ed, and will continue to support, the
free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver at the ratio of Is to |; a
just measure to prevent gambling in
agricultural products; tariff reform ;
opposition to the issuance of bonds
increasing the Understanding in
debtedness OF the Government ;
economy in the public expenditures,
etc, etc.
Within the contracted scope of q
card like this, I cannot do more than
state in general way my position
upon public questions.
I have heretofore made an earnest
effort to be of some service to the
people whose commission held and
to the State whose representative I
was. With what success, it is not
for me to judge.
II continued in public Office I will
endeavor to bring to bear in the dis
charge of it's duties, the same zeal,
energy, determination and fidelity
which think I am justified in saying
has heretofore characterized my pub
lie course.
