AN IMPORTANT MATTER

The people may overlook some
things OF importance in the pending
primary, especially il they are not
reminded of their duty occasionally
as time passes. We wish to remind
them of the Importance of selecting a
good State Central Committee. The
next State Committee will be compos-
ed of one member from each of the
parishes to be chosen bv the voters
and fifteen members from the State at
large, which fifteen members will be
chosen by the members elected from
the parishes 1t is important that
only sound Democrats should be
placed Oh guard as members of the
State Committe. This committee
will have the control and management
OF the party affairs in its hands. II
direct nominating primaries are to be-
come the fixed and permanent rule of
the party in this State, the friends of
primaries must see to it that men
who are in favor of primaries are
chosen as members of the State Com
mittee. 1t is apparent that an effort is
being made to discredit the primary.
turn to the old-fashioned trading and
trafficing nominating conventions. |
II this primary can be disciedited by
benig made so expensive that poor
men cannot be candidates for States
,ffices under the primary system the
,ld-time politicians will rejoice. IF
mid the excitement over the candi-
lates for Governor and other candi-
lates either State or local, designing
'eOple are permitted to LET members of
he State Central Committee from
of the parishes. who are at
cart, unfriendly to primaries, an
Id fashioned convention viii be
