Jastremski for Governor.

Gen. Leon Jastremski, of Baton
Rouge, has definitely announced
his candidacy for Governor. In
doing so, he declares that he fav-
ors the nomination of the candi-
dates of the party by a direct vote
of the duly qualified Democratic
voters in primaries held for the
purpose, and that he would hail
with delight the curtailment of
the extraordinary appointive pow
ers Of the Executive. This bold,
frank and unequivocal statement
is characteristic of the man, and
is made in response to a wide
spread demand from every quar-
ter where the people are intelli-
gent enough to have proper con-
ception and due appreciation of
their rights. Other gentlemen
have been avowed candidates for
months, but none of them have
taken this position. Gen. JAS
tremski's advanced views onthese
points will doubtless strongly
commend him to the masses of
the party.
Aside from this, however, Gen.
Jastremski is recognized through
out the State as a man of eminent
ability, of spotless integrity, of
large experience in public affairs,
and of wise and conservative
craftsmanship. In his vigorous
young manhood he formed part
of those matchless legions which
on the battlefelds of Virginia
shed undying lustre upon his ma
tive Louisiana, and since, as citi-
zen, editor, mayor Of Baton
Rouge and consul to Peru, he has
promptly met every obligation
and discharged every duty with
courage, fidelity, ability and eff
cheney. That he would make an
ideal Governor no one who knows
him can doubt.
He is native of Vermilion par
ish, and thoroughly familiar with
the French language, which he
speaks with mellifiuousness no.
ticeably mellowed and softened
by a Federal bullet in his throat.
He has many friends and ad-
mirers in this parish who will .es-
TEEN it an honor to give him their
cordial support.
For upwards of thirty years we
have personally known and es-
teemed this knightly gentleman
as a thoroughly conscientious man,
an enlightened statesman, and a
true patriot. This rreur cheral5e,
being in hearty accord with the
COURIER on the main issues so fal
evolved in the campaign, it will
give US the greatest pleasure tc
assure the people of St. Landry
without arr1ere-pensee and with.
out mental reservation, that Leon
Jastremski is in every conceivable
| way fully worthy of their suffrage:
and if elected will make the very
best Governor that Louisiana evel

The True Doctrine.

The Monroe Star enunciates the
true doctrine when it says:
"The Star wants to see the
Democratic party wrested from
machine politicians and ignorant
ward bosses and the right of the
people to rule restored to them,
but this will be brought about in
its own good time by loyal Demo-
Gratis working within the party
aud not by independents and, boil

Incidentally, it is worthy Of note
that the further the Machen ras-
cality is probed the more impli-
Gated become q member of the
Mckinley family and a former
First Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral. For leniency towards the
former Mr.. Payne had appealed
to the newspaper correspondents
with the words, "Have hot you
boys little warm blood left in
you? Would you drag that saint
ed family in the dust?'' For the
latter he had appealed with the
statement, "He was one of you.
Would you boys, notably good
fellows, blacken the reputation
of a fellow newspaper MANI"
When Machen and his friends had
tried to blacken the reputation of
First Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Wynne, newspaper corre-
spondent Of twenty years stand
ing, Mr.. Payne had made no ap-
peal. When Machen and his pals
had secured the dismissal Of a
managing editor, who charged
him with dishonest practices, Mr..
Payne had made no appeal. The
end of the postofice investigation
is said to be in sight. More ar.
rests are to follow, and then, it is
claimed, the criminal ring will
have been eliminated from the
postal service.
