HON. ANDREW QUERIES.

The Progress earnestly congratulates
Hon. Andrew Queries over his gallant
victory in the contest here Thursday.
Upon him, as a candidate for Congress
ional executive committeeman, the
Jimmy faction concentrated their fire.
Many of them traded, exchanged choice
for Congressman If by that means a
vote could be secured for Mr.. J. A.
Thigpen, Mr.. Queries opponent. But in
spite of all this Mr.. Queries received
the majority of the votes cast here And
the victory was all the more satisfac-
tory; all the more a pleasure when he
realizes that he knew nothing of fight
being made on him until the afternoon;
the late afternoon Of Wednesday. But
he has many friends in the city; friends
who rallied to his standard and fought
with the persistent courage Of Spartans,
and would not know defeat.
The Progress extends it's congratu-
lations to Mr.. Queries. It does so in
recognition of your courage, your in
tegrity, your fidelity to a cause, a
principle, friend AS you have been
true to principle your friends are true
to you: and they are pleased at the
glory you won. in Thursdays contest.

JUDGE SUTHERLIN VICTORY

The friends of Judge Sutherlin here
We're enthusiastic Thursday night, when
1t was learned what handsome vote
he had received; what a superb victory
he had won. Shreveport has been con-
sidered an Ogden stronghold; and Judge
sutherlin and allies realized that It
would be hard battle ground to COM
pete on. But they are that kind of men
VINO grow stronger in the face of oppo-
sition and more determined when
serious obstacles present themselves.
The Judge Is brave, cool leader, and
his feutenants fought hard, system
matically and under perfect discipline.
This concentrated work: this persistent
labor began to tell early IN the day
when he took the lead and kept it, with
steady gain to the close OF the polls.
When the report was given out that
ne had not only broken down Mr.,
Ogden's strong fortresses, but had
actually carried the city by majority
OF thirteen over both opponents; his
friends were in high glee. But while the
Judge knew he had won brilliant
victory, like the yalient, courteous
knight that he Is, he received al! the
tokens, with the same genial, courtly
grace which has characterized his
course from the Very inception of the
campaign. Judge sutherlin's conduct,
when he realized that he had won the
city, drew his friends closer to him, and
aroused the admiration of former onno-
nents.
Yes Judge sutherlin is the proper
man to send to Congress and The Prog
ress believes he will be nominated by an
overwhelming majority at the next pri-
mary.
