OUR DELEGATION.

Fellow citizens! Look carefully
over the list Of gentlemen whom
the Caddo Democratic Club mas
put forward as delegates to the BAT
on Rouge convention to nominate
the thirty-six delegates-at-large
to Constitutional Convention. ES-
anime each name carefully ana
YOU will find there men whose
voices and acts have been engaged
in claiming and striving for the
rights of the people; men who nave
given their time and talents in re-
sisting the oppression Of dictatofs,
repudiating the attempts at boss
ism. Men who have always peen
with the people in their claim Tor
recognition in the choice OF those
who should rule them. 1t IS
ticket of the people and for the
people. It represents independent
thought and manly action. Lit IS
protest against the attempt OF the
few to govern and control, by as
sumed power, the many.
In the convention they will sup
mort Hon. II. F. Bell for delegate
ALTAR and in all things tina
come before that convention the.
will represent Caddo parish, not
few would-be emperors OF a PEG

THEIR CRIME.

Let us look at this constitution
al convention campaign dispas-
sionately, as men who want to do
right, as citizens who desire to pro-
mote and conserve the best inter-
ests of our parish and state COM
monwealth. That should be the aim
of every man who claims the title
of citizenship, and this should rise
paramount to every other question
or thought. From this standpoint
then, let every man duly consider
the very essence of the present
campaign, measure carefully all
the equipments Of all the candl-
dates collectively, condensed into
a practical whole, and see if the
conclusion does not end with Levy
and Phillips as the men.
Practical in business, method
cal in management, representa-;
the three great pillars of the indus
trial temple of temporal affairs
finance, commerce and agricul
tnre: we'll versed in all the detail
necessary for the successful man
agement of all, do not their name
and their lives present an unans
werable argument that they are tf
men whom Caddo parish, with HI
vast interests, present proportion
and future prospects, should ha'
to assist in framing our next col
stitution?
Believing that all who will gi
the subject serious considerable
will agree to this proposition, t
next question which confronts o
public is this: What polite
crime have Levy and Philli
committed in entering this ca1
paign; what is the cause of tt
aenunciation and reflection up
their ability which have been |
dulged in by the Fosters conbin
ton? All, truly, the offense,
crime lies in their daring TO sta
for office, even though only af'
strong solicitation by the Demo
racy Of Caddo parish, after tbs
