Committee Meeting.


The newly selected members of
the campaign committee met at the
courthouse to map out plan of
campaign and transact such bust
ness as came up.
The following resolution was
presented and unanimously adopt
ed
We the campaign committee in
convention assembled, being COM
prised of the original seven and
one newly elected member from
twenty-foar parishes, all present,
have this day upon the motion of
DR.. T. j. Tabor, of Webster, and
seconded by Mr.. w. L. Shackle-
ford, of Grant, adopted unani-
mously the following resolution:
Resolved, That we, the cam
paign committee of the Peoples
Party, send greeting to our brcth-
rem in Union, Lincoln, Bossier, and
all parishes not represented at this
meeting, asking them to call mass
meetings in their respective par
lshes and do as a great majority
of the parishes have done in mass
meeting ratify the action of the
state central committee held at
this place on the 23d day of Janu-
airy, and elect a member to act as
campaign committeeman for the
present campaign.
Mr.. Waddill, of New Orleans,
made very pretty play to make a
Booth campaign by voting the
proxies of New Orleans, if same
were admitted, but the committee
did not have any wool over its
eyes, and Mr.. Waddell ran against
snag before he had begun to
sail.
In the afternoon Mr.. Osborne,
of Georgia, interested the audience
with speech which was the best
we have ever heard in the line.
The meeting adjoui ned about II
O'Clock p. m, subject to call.-La.

Judge Henry L. Garland, ST.,
one of the landmarks of democra-
cy in St. Landry, yesterday an
nounced his allegiance to the Pharr
ticket. In a ringing speech, in
which no words were minced, and
no quarter shown to Murphy j.
Foster, he cut loose from the moor
ings of technical democracy and
Joined Gunby and Duson, who had
gone before.
The assertions from the ranks
of Fosterism are increasing in
numbers and in political power as
the campaign progresses. Every
where strong men, who formerly
battled in the democratic ranks,
are enlisting under the Pharr ban
ner. They can no longer endure
the methods of the fraud and trick
stcr who, by some sort of Jug
glery, was placed at the head of
the democratic ticket.
The Item hopes to keep up with
the procession of those who have
cut loose from the mis6t, but soon
it will be an imposibility to ''keep
tab" on names.
Let the good people continue
tho good work. Foster is on the
run, and he must be made to 90
q faster gait.-DaiIy Item. u

An official will hardly be much
better or worse than those who
elected him to Office. He is usual
ly a fair exponent of those who
elevate him to official position
Claiborne Guardian-Journal.
Then may the good Lord deliver
us from Fosters reelection.
Look in our cartoon and see the
company he keeps in New Orleans.
Part of that company is now in
the penitentiary despite Fosters
efforts to keep it out, a larger part
is in Jail awaiting trial, and the
rest are working for the re-eIec-
ton of Foster and Fitzpatrick.
Then remember Kellogg and
Cages trip to Baton Rouge on
Democratic campaign funds, to
speak to 5000 negroes In the in
terest of Foster, and you have a
fair idea of Fosters company, and
the kind of Governor be will make
during his second term.
