Democratic Committee.

The Democratic Parish Gem
mittee met on Saturday the l4tE
inst and adopted measures fol
the holding of q Democratic pri
mary election to nominate parisl
and ward officers throughout the
parish, as will be seen by ref
erence to the proceedings civ.
en- in another column. The
most important feature of the
proceedings was the invita-
tion extended to the voters to
participate III the primary election
Al white daily registered voters
who will pledge themselves to
vote for and support the nomi-
nees being invited to take part in
the election. and in the event any
voters rght ts participate be
questioned the onl y test to be APP
piled is the following question:
".Are you a duly registered vo-
ter of this parish and ward, and
will you support the nominees of
this primary election p
The course of the Committee
was exceedingly conservative and
wise in our Judgment. Every
one is familiar with the embittered
factionaI spirit and division caused
among the white psople in this
parish by the last campaign, and
all right thinking citizens have
been desirous since that unfortu-
nate campaign of seeing this fac
tienal strife and divisions healed
up, especially as the disturbing
and disintegrating cause, the ne
gro vote, has been eliminated.
That there should be Il general
restoration of harmony and fra
ternlty among our people was
most earnestly desired. not only to
unity and strengthen the Demo-
cratic party, but because the very
best interests of society demanded
it. The committee therefore de
serves the highest commendation
for the liberal and conservative
course which it adopted. course
which we doubt not, will 90 far
toward uniting the white people
Of all classes and neighborhoods,
and eraaicatin9 the last vestige
Of the bitterness of the last cam
paign. Surely that is consum-
nation most ,tevoutIy to be wished
for.

The announcement of Judge
Gilbert L. Dupre was handed in
too late last week for US to ac-
company it with the customary
editorial notice. AS will be seen
Judge Dup1e's candidacy is sub
ject to the nomination of the
Democratic party through the
primary election to be held on the
9Th of December next. Judge
Dupre is seeking reelection to
the position he has filled since
1896; his record is, therefore,
fresh in the minds of our read
ers-if he has been derelict in his
duty, or if he has made any mis-
takes his constituents will doubt
less hold him to account for his
sficial acts-it is not our prev
ince to trot them out here. No
one will deny that Judge Dupre
has been a hard and persistent
worker who has certainly earned
his salary as such, and we doubt
if any Of his predecessors can
show q record in that respect that
will equal it. His record as
Judge is before the Public-and
he should be judged accordingly.
