are being aided by the less extreme rep

that voted the ticket for regfaritys sake

elements do not work openly and hon

POLITICAL AGITATION.

The political agitation in Louisiana
will soon become active and the issue
will not be so mitch on the selection of
Governor and State officers but on how
the nomination shall be made. The great
majority of Democrats who vote are in
favor of nomination BY primary elections
against the convention program which
is manipulated by chosen few in the
interests of few, the exclusive benefit
and welfare of "the select, the favored
slated regardless ef the expressed
wishes of the people. When the cams
paign opens on these lines there will be
a warm and heated political atmosphere
about the few who. in the future. may
venture to manipulate the convention as
in the past. according TO their own sweet
will and as they see fit. Then there will
be d howl and d kick which may raise

There are upwards of 100 men at
work on the farm, in the laundry, the

men are able to work for Mitchell and
Musigbrod, it seems as if they might
work for someone else and not be a
