The Democratic nominating con-
vention for the 3rd congressional dis
trict met on Monday in Falk's Hail.
Lafayette. A large delegation OF
prominent democrats were present.
p. A. Sompayrac of Lake Charles
was elected chairman of the conven-
ton. A strong platform was adopt
ed declaring for the Kansas City plat
form, improvement of the streams OF
the district, and demanding protec-
ton for lumber, sugar and rice. Inc
Republican party was denounced for
its colonial policy which will ultimate
" result in the destruction OF our
sugar and rice interests. Imperial
ism, militarism and trusts were LIS
condemned in fitting terms.
w. =. Burke of New Iberia, in an
S--. -
eloquent speech placed Hon. r. F.
Rroussard in nomination. This was
seconded by Governor Foster in an
able address of some length, followed
by short speeches from Judge Four
net OF Calcasieu, Senator Liable Of
st. Martin and Hon. Rom. z. Lee
blanc Of Vermilion. The nomination
was then made by reclamation ano
the nominee appeared in the hall es'
corted by the committee of notiica'
ton. His appearance was the sigma
for a scene Of wild enthusiasm, which
only increased as he proceeded t.
thank the convention for the homo
conferred upon him and defending III
course in Congress in voting for tin
Dingley bill in obedience to the IN
structions contained in the Thibo
daux platform. At times ne was yer.

senator Hanna ON Trusts.

The Hon. John Wesley Gaines,
of Tenn, in a speech delivered in the
House of Representatives June 2,
1900, thus shows up Senator Mark
A. Hanna, of Ohio, on the trust
question:
Again, Senator Hanna, in the
course of the campaign in Ohio last
fall, warmly advocating the trust
loving Mr.. Nash in his candidacy for
his election, at different times thus
showed he was the bold advocate and
friend os trusts.
Trusts are good things.
There is not q trust in the United
States.
What harm can these trusts do the
people of this country?
1t may be that the trusts will do
people harm. II they do, the Repub-
lican party, will take car of that.
How, / ask? BY killing all anti
trust laws, as recently done in Ohio,
and smothering those in Congress!
1t is evolution in business. Trusts.
There is no such thing.
I say there are no trusts. II there
are, prove It.
We know our business.
"We,' not wee-wee, but WE,
giant sswe'' that was not made to be
downed as long as the Republican
party is in power, State and National
The trusts have the best men in the
country at their head.
! believe in their organization.
The formation of trusts is q steI
forward.
The combination of corporations i;
simply the evolution of business.
/ am not defending the trusts, mol
am / repudiating a single word o.
, phrase in the Republican platform.
Who DID repudiate your (Ohio,
platform against trusts upon which
Mr.. Nash was elected governor las
fall? Your Republican legislature
sat the dictation of the bosses a
Washington and trust magnates a
t New York by killing the .'Russei
} bill No. TO-"

Punish alae ~Slamderers.

There is entirely too much idle Cos
sip, which is often vile SANDER,
INDUCED in these days in all Commune
mites. It will be q relief to know
that there is some protection from the
tongues OF such people and that juries
are not slow to punish the guilty. A
few days ago q long tongued SANDER
Gus woman of Jennings was found
guilty of b~esmirching the character OF
one of her neighbors. Last week,
Hart Sandoz Of Opelousas, after 8
long trial was awarded damages In
the sum of $4,000 against E. P. Yea.
zie an attorney of that place for ma
licious prosecution. Sandoz was
charged with entering the room o.
Veazie's daughter in the night time.
A jury found him not guilty and W.
believe the evidence fully warranted
this finding. Ii guilty of such al
offense no punishment is too severe.
but to be charged with 1t on mere idlt
hearsay is a terrible imputation and il
is but just that an innocent mar ear
have some pecuniary redress for suct
attempts to destroy his character.

shall We Love Liberty

The Baltimore SIM, q newspaper
which opposed Bryan vigorously in
1896, supports him ardently now,
because it declares that the great
question involved in this campaign is
the love of liberty.
ssThat is a greater and more vital
ISSUE it declares than details of fl
nance or questions Of ratio between
the precious metals. 1t is, infact,
a matter of preserving the fundament-
al principles Of self-government, for
If it once be established that the doc
thine of the consent of the governed
can be set aside by this Government
in the Philippines and the doctrine Of
the conquered provinces and subjects
be substituted therefor, no man can
tell where the revolution will end or
how soon the same despotic principle
may be applied in u domestic af-
fairs. Opposition to the policy OF
the Administration is the peoples
most effective protest against the
revolution in government advocated
by our rulers in Washington. That
revolution is Numerically opposed to
the interests of the people. Ii it be
ordained that the Filipinos have no
rights which our rulers are compelled
to respect, how long will encroach-
ments upon popular sovereignty in
the United States be successfully re-
sisted. Or, as Mr.. Hennighausen
adtly put it, if a military chieftain
can make laws for the Fiiipinos bet
ter than they can make them for
themselves, what IS to prevent his
making laws for Kentucky OF some
other State of the American Union!
The paramount issue in this CAM
paign, therefore, is the maintenance
Of constitutional government, The
preservation of the rights of the peo-
pie against an insidious assault upoI
the principle If popular government:
and the reafirmation of the doctrine
upon which this Republic is founded
the consent of the governed

How long will pea nut politics con-

disgraceful rumpus in the 9th con-

of a lot OF pin head statesmen pursu-
