You came down off of the fence randi,

You seem. however, to have thought i
necessary to give me lesson in the histor,
OF the democratic party and in doing you
evade the question of party fealty. If
mistake not you have often stated it as your
opinion that true Democrat will abide by
the action of his party. Therefore, as this
suffrage amendment is Democratic measure
alt true Democrats should support it.
You say that sit should be remembered
that the Frsf Democratic governor of Louis
lana, Alex Mouton, native of this par
sh, was elected on the platform of universal
1t is not surprising that your knowledge of
history goes back no further than the cleo

not appoint as governor of louisiana, w. c.
{. Claiborne, in I8o47
governor In 1872 by the Democratic-Repub-
l'cans, ancestors of the present Democratic
party?
Is it not a fact that the Democratic nartv
tnae elected Claiborne, framed and carried |
through constitution for the State by which
.ne suffrage was qualified by property, that
IS, tnat to be able to vote one had to show a |
tax receipt?
And did not that Democratic constitution |
remain in force until 1882
Was not the constitutional convention of

opponents OF the Democrats?
IN conclusion, l wish to state that m, |

It Mr.. Flanders believes that we

passable highways and with what Impotence
| they regard all propositions that involve any
increased expenditure or taxation necessary
to make . good road of bad one. Bad
roads are not peculiar to any one part or
section OF the country, though in some States
there is much more intelligent apprecia-
ton OF the economy in keeping open the
way between the farm and the market than
in Others. The trouble seems to be that the
people have been so long accustomed to bad
roads that they don't know what . good
road is and can not easily be made to under
stand the immense benefits to be derived
therefrom. People start back from a prop
osition to increase tax levy for road pur-
poses, not considering that bad road is the
most burdensome tax that can be levied on
community; that good road, whatever it
may cost, is maintained at less expense than
4 right of way over mud, gullies and un-
graded hills. A road over which the
farmer can haul to market every day in the
year; road over which he can haul a |
heavier load without breaking his wagon or |
half killing his team, is a blessing for which |
my reasonable man will be willing to paw
when he once takes in the full measure of |
t. benefits. The importance to trade and
commerce of good. firm and even country
highways can not lie overestimated The
ailroads must be fed by the mule-teamx and
ne locomotive must wait for the wagon.
