Stuffed the manger full of hay;
Her hat was there, but not the rake,
For that was but poets fake;

She laughed until she nearly cried;
Just think, old bossy, cried the maid,
I'm going to have some boomers made?

State Platform
Peoples Party of Louisiana.

1. We affirm our allegiance to
the pure principles of popular gov
ernment, as enunciated by Wash
ington, Jefferson and Jackson, and
embodied in our National platform,
and we uphold the principle en-
bodied in the immortal declaration
that this should be "a Government
of the people, by the people and
for the people"
3 And especially do we de-
mand the free and unlimited coin
age of both gold and silver, at the
ratio of 16 to 1, with equal debt
paying power as primary money,
and full legal tender monetary
system for the people of the Unit
cd States, without consulting any
foreign nation or money syndicate.
3. We demand for Louisiana
industries equal protection to that
afforded the industries of other
States. An American, not Brit
ish system of commercial laws,
that no discrimination against our
agricultural and industrial classes
may be made.
4. We favor a just and liberal
system of public schools for the
benefit of all classes of our people,
and we deplore the fact that for
many years the management of
our public school system has been
so defective that the party now in
power seeks to disfranchise large
number of our citizens On the
grounds of ignorance.
5. We denounce tho disgrace
full and infamous election frauds
which have prevailed in Louisiana,
and we demand and are determin-
ed to have a perfectly honest and
fair election, at which each citizen
qualified to vote, shall cast his bal
lot freely and secretly, and the
vote shall be fairly counted as they
are actually cast. This is the su-
preme issue in this campaign, and
in its success the honor, manhood
and prosperity of Louisiana arc
involved. The foul and loathsome
methods which have brought the
ballot box stuffer to the front, and
placed him in power in Louisiana,
must, in the name of liberty, JUS
tice, morality and common decen-
cy, be suppressed.
s. We oppose and denounce the
proposed suffrage eamendment, con-
cocted by political schemers, not to
purify and elevate the ballot box
but to subserve their selfish pur-
poses by providing contradictory
qualifications, to suddenly disfran-
chise large masses of worthy citi-
zens, by deluding the people with
promises of changes in the next
| Legislature. We denounce the
whole amendment as a vicious
fraud which proposes measures ano
methods that are un-American ant
destructive of free institutions.
Z. We favor the utmost econo
my of expenditures, in State, city
and. parish, and pledge our candi
dates to strict and impartial en-
Iforcement of all laws, and the pres
ervation and promotion of every
interest in Louisiana, whose wei
| fare is bloadcr and more sacre'
than party lines or partisan poll
cies /; and we invite and urge tn
true men and honest citizens o
Louisiana, without regard to pas
party affiliations to join with us i
q noble, patriotic and powerful ei
| fort to relieve our people and t
elevate the standard of polite
and public morality in our bclove
State.
