Read the Record.

Centreville Press.
Some good people think Johnston made
a good business Governor. To those who
hold this pinion The Press refers to the
extracts from the report Of the legisla-

another column and are part Of the state

A RIVAL FOR JOHNSTON.

Alabama, II seems, Is not alone in her
gubernatorial misery. Kansas, also, has
a candidate for that Office whose chief
asset is an unlimited amount of brag'
although he is a Democrat.
Mr.. Craddock, however, seems to think
differently, and thinks to make his call
ing and election sure, by telling the peo-
pie what great things he will do If they
elect him. One of these great things, he
tells them, is that he will take off one
half their taxes at once, or as soon as
he is fairly started on his career. To use
his own language:
] pledge you that IL I am elected the
man who pays 800 in taxes now will
have to pay but $50 then, and the man
who pays $40 now will have to pay but 50
then.
Is not this the superlative OF demagogy?
How does he propose to accomplish this?
He told the people in a recent speech
that as Governor he would virtually
double" the assessments of taxable prop
erty in Kansas and therefore will cut
the tax collection in half" We have
never read of a more f1agrant attempt to
deceive than this is. In Kar.as as in
Alabama, the rate of taxation Is fixed by
law The valuation of property is fixed
by the tax officials and by boards of as
sessment. 1t is entirely beyond the pow
er Of the Governor to raise the valua-
| tons, and Mr.. Craddock knows it. He
can recommend and advise. but cannot
add one dollar to the property valuations
or reduce the taxes one cent He knows
this. but some of the people do not, and
| he expects to deceive them and get their
| votes by promises which he knows can
| not possibly be carried out. Is it not de-
cidedly Johnstonesque?

General Harrison reads to meetings he
addresses the following outburst of ex-'
Governor Johnston, showing his wonder
full love for the new Constitutions:
Montgomery, Ala, July "a 1902.
Gen. George P. Harrison. Opelika, Ala:
Dear General am obliged for your
letter. The attempt to put me in the at
titGde of desiring to overthrow the Con-
stitution is absurd. / favor carrying out
its provisions in good faith and giving
II fair trial. and so shaping legislation
under 1t as to make 1t most acceptable;
and should 1t prove good as it's friends
claim. it will crafty me; and whenever
II proves defective, I shall favor submit
ting amendments to the white men of
Alabama for their judgment and ap-
proval. Yours very truly,
From beginning to end it is an express
sion of distrust as to any good to come
from it. and of acceptance of 1t under
compulsion No lawyer would depend
upon a witness in court who would give
such hating and uncertain testimony.
There are too many indications in that
letter of opposition to the new Constitu-
ton to deceive anybody not desiring to
be deceived There is no semblance of
suggestion that he would not seek to
change it. If elected. On the contrary, 1t
has too many suggestions as to amend
ments, etc.

Against Court Of Appeals
Amendment.

A meeting of the louisiana Bar
Association was held In the library
OF the Civil District Court, in New
Orleans, last Monday afternoon,
for the purpose of adopting reso-
lut,ons on the proposed amend
ments to the laws governing the
judiciary department Of the State,
the principal purpose OF which is
to limit the Supreme Courts jurls-
dictlon 10 matters involving not
less than $4,000. At present the
court has jurisdiction in matters as
low as $4,000. These amendments
are to be voted on at the election
in November, and it was unanl-
mously decided by the meeting to
disapprove the amendments.
A committee composed of the
following gentlemen was ap-
pointed: Messrs. Kruttschnitt,
Merrick, McGloin, Hart, Fenner,
McCaleb and Forman. They will
decide upon some course by which
to give publicity to the action Of
the association to instruct the
voters in the premises.

Robertson at Donaldson
willie.

Col. S. NJ. Robertson opened
his campaign at Donaldsonville
last Sunday. A large crowd was
in attendance.
President Brand introduced Hon.
r. NJ. Sims az the first speaker.
Mr.. Sims laid particular stress on
and denied in strong language the
report of dissens4on in the Demo.
cratic Party Of Ascension. He
denied the Islander that the Demo
cratic Party intended to counte-
nance any fraud on election day.
He invited the: Republicans to wit
ness the count, and he dared them
to challenge the fairness of the
election.
Col. L. Sanbola Jones, Of Baton
Rouge, was, the next speaker.
Louislana's only hope, he said,
laid with the Democratic Party.
If there was any glory, any honor,
III Louisiana, it was written by the
Democratic Party; and all the
shame, all the disgrace, was written
by the Republican Party. No
party that was sired by republic
canism can be respectable. Col.
Jones intespersed his address with
many anecdotes.
A flatterlng reception was ten
dered Congressman Robertson
when he arose. For sixteen years,
SAID he, he had represented the
people in Congress, and for nine
years he had received the Demo-
cratic nomination, and he was
proud of the service he had rem
dered the people. Congressman
Robertson reviewed the history of
sugar, showing how the Demo-
cratic Party had taken sugar off
the free list, where it had beeu
placed by the Republican Party,
and placed it on the dutiable list.
MIR. Robertson read extracts from
the minutes of congressional SEES
slons, showing tie difference be-
tween the policies of both parties.
He retuted Mr.. Hebert's reference
to the Democratic textbook, and
referred to the action of the Iowa
Republican Convention, showing
the drift Of republicanism. Mr..
Robertson's calculation of the
tariff was to the point and convinc.
ing. He referred to Coleman, the
erstwh,le Republican congressman,
who had voted against the Repub.
lican tariff bill. He referred to
Roosevelt's reciprocity, anG

cratic Congressman from Louisi
