D TO REED WON'T ATTACK VOORHEES,
Ex- Attorney General Denies
That He Intends to Con-
test the Governorship.


A New York in its report Of
the argument in the Clifford murder case
before the supreme Court yesterday,
quoted ex-Attorney General Stockton as
intimating that the right of Governors
elect Voorhees, to take his seat as Chief
Executive of the State would be Com
tested on the ground of his ineligibility.
. Mr.. Stockton was alleged to have said
tina there was no evading the fact that
Foster W.. Voorhees, is Governor today.
His resignation as Senator from Union
county was a work Off s-upererogation.
He ceased to be senator when he became
Governor. you may say, he was al
legged to have added, that if he is Cow
,ernor now he can succeed himself, be-
cause of the express prohibition in the
Constitution. That question will be ar
gued in January. when his term of SER
vice expires
Mr.. tockton was seen at his office nere
today and asked whether his remarks
meant that the Democrats proposed 70
contest the right of Mr.. Voorhees, to take
his seat. The former Attorney General
expressed surprise at the language attri-
buted to him in the newspaper report,
and emphatieally denied using it.
II was very particular" said Mr.. Stock
ton, mot TO bring in anything that might
be construed as political or partisan, lest
it prejudice Clifford, who, assure you,
mas a very deep interest in the matter.
II may nav said that the question OF
Mr.. Voorhees, right to succeed himseir
was something to be determined later,
but had nothing to do with the merits
of this case. or similar language; but l
certainly never said anything that could
be construed into meaning that q con-
test would be made in January.
When asked if there was any .probabil-
ity of such a contest, MIR. Stockton said
not to his knowledge. He had had no
had not heard it discussed except in a
general way. and was not aware OF any
formulated plans. .
Continuing to discuss the question Of
Mr.. voorhees, eligibility to become his
own successor, Mr.. stockton quoted the
section of the Constitution which provides
that the Governor shall hold office for
three years to on the third
Tuesday Of anuary and end on the Mon
day preceding the third Tuesday IN Jalu-
airy three years after, ana shall be lnedp-
able of holding the Office of Governor for
three years next after his term of office
shall have expired
I'VE insist in our argument he said
THAT his term of service VIII Tosaxpire
until the Monday preceding the third
Tuesday in January next, butft does not
alter the question as to his ~incapacity of
holding the office for three years next
after his term of service whether his term
ended. as claimed by the Attorney-Gen-
Der is last. or at the expiration of the
term for which Governor Griggs was
elected. because in both cases the inca
paeity would exist if the Constitution be
construed TO apply to Governors VINO take
office by succession as well as by cleo

TIE NE " BANK.

Another evidence Of the progress
being made by this town is given in
the establishment Of the Bank of
Lafayette. This year has been a
notable one in the history of our
town. Already we have had oc
cassion to speak of the building of
the refinery and the cotton COM
press. These two new enterprises
marked the advent Of a new era IN
the life Of our prosperous little city.
Coming as they did upon the heels
of two important nprovements-
the waterworks and electric light
plant-they gave a particularly bril-
liant aspect to the future. During
the last few years Lafayette has
made rapid strides in the march of
progress. 1t has gone ahead with
unusual speed. On every hand can
be seen signs Of prosperity. New
stores, new residences, new indus
tries are sprin5inS up everywhere.
Our population has gone on steadily
increasing until it has reached
point not far from the 5000 mark.
Perhaps the most substantial in
e:icalirn Of our advancement is the
organization and establishment Of
tlic new bank, which will open un-
der most encouraging auspices with
a capital stock OF Sc-s, 1t will

TIE CONCRESS/ONIIL CINI
PI/CN

There comes from Washington,
on what appears to be pretty relia-
BILE authority, report that the
Louisiana appointments will not
be made before the next congress
sional election in November. This
has been agreed upon, it appears,
to give the sugar planters an oppor-
tunity to show their strength.
Should they be successful in carry
ing the third district it is said that
they will dictate all Louisiana
appointments and that Wimberly
will get it in that part of the ana
tony where politicians sometimes
receive compensation for their wo'k
and where the chicken got the AK.
From the same source 1t is learned
that the Republicans will nominate
Capt. Pharr, who, it is claimed,
will poll the full strength Of the s.
O. p. in the third. The Repubh-
cans, that is, those of the Lily
White persuasion, will strain every
nerve to land the Old Swamper.
Of course, the Republicans will
make the campaign On the pre-
tended friendship Of that party for
the sugar industry. But it will be
interesting to know how they will
reconcile their professcd love for
the sugar planter with their avowed
intention of annexing and conpuer-
ing sugar producing countries there
ly infic,ng a death blow to the
sugar industry in the United States.
1t will not be surprising to see some
of the Lily Whites return to their
first love, for the most enthusiastic
adhercnt Of Rcpubllcanism will

On the ed, sd and 18th Of July the
people Of Lafayette will have an
opportunity OF seeing one Of the
most hOtty contested series of base
ball ever played upon {; diamond in
this State. The White Caps Of
Alexandria will, on these dates, try
conclusions with the Lafayette
team. The .Alcxanurians are said
to be among the very best players
in the Southern States, while the
Lafayette boys are cunceaedly the
first and foremost ball! players that
can be found this side Of Mason
and Dixp1's line. With such su
perior forces !,it:c,l against each
other it is 10 c:;c.G:@raiion to SAY
the game will be intensely interest
ing to lovers Of ,i::s sport. II Is
for the people Of Lafayette to say
If they want a GrSt-c!as5 team. II
they do, they should encourage the
sport by seeing the games Whlcll
will! be played here during the first
,luvs of the next month. Ii the

concede that the policy of conquest
and annexation just inaugurated by
the Republican party is not calcu-
lated to cheer the heart Of the cane
grower. 1t is not altogether i'm
probable that before the waning OF
many moons the Democratic party
will, by reason Of its opposition to
the acquisition Of new territory, be
recognized as the only friend OF
sugar. 1t has always been its most
the day may not be far off when the
sugar III manufacturers of Louisiana
will be forced to this conclusion.
Congressman Broussard's speech
against the annexation Of Hawaii
will prove to De splendid campaign
literature in the third district. What
will a high tariff amount to il more
sugar than is necessary for Ameri-
can consumption is imported free
This will be rather tough nut for
the sugar planters to crack.
All indications point to the rcnom-
ination of Congressman Broussard.
With thi; dashing young leader in
the saddle, the Democrats can be
expected to march to victory. The
Young Democracy Of the old third
will make things decidedly warm
for the Republicans and it is safe to
say that the fur will fly and the
CORY locks Of the venerable Old

the ambient air on that November
