to il. They should have done asMr.
Gilbert ST. Julien andHMr. J. Omer
Broussard did. But they did moth
ing of the kind. They Immediately
set to work to deprive the nominees
of the primary of the fruits of vic
tory. They combined with the
Republicans with whose help they
formed ticket to run against the
men to whom they had pledged tn cir
support. This, we submit, was not
the proper course for men who
loudly pirate Of their political NOR
atty. They entered into an agree
ment to submit their claims to the
primary-to abide by the result
but the verdict of the majority was
hardly recorded against them that
enemy plotting to deprive their sue
cessful opponents of their rights.
Men who violate the rights OF others
with such little regard for the sim
pie law of common honesty are not
the proper persons to lecture their
fellows on virtue and morality in
matters political.
Those who trample under their
feet the rights of their opponents
have no reason to complain if these
seIf-same opponents have recourse
to legal technicalities to protect
themselves and to secure what they
are Justly entitled TO.
The Gazette thinks that there is
no occasion for all this incorporate
talk. The men who were nonlna-
ted by the primary have just claim
to the support of the 1000 voters
who participated in that primary.
We believe there dwells in the hearts
of these voters sense Of right
which will condemn thoughtless
agitators who would incite others
to unlawful acts.
