THK APPOINTING POWERS.

TIKI APPoINTIvE POWERS.
Much has been said in the pub
lie press and among the people on
the subject of the reduction of the
appointlve power of the chief ex-
ecutive Office by RELOCATING to
the people the filling by popular
vote of Offices under the state gov
eminent that are now filled by APP
pointment of the governor.

assembled. A.more able and re-
preventative body of men was
never seen before in the state.
and a large proportion of them,
too, were not politicians-that is
to say, they were not men who
had heretofore figured promin-
entity upon the stage of Louisiana
political affairs. They brought
to the consideration of the ques-
ton of the best way of filling the
Offices necessary to the proper
discharge of the functions of gov
eminent unusual Impartiality and
freedom from bias and seliishness
of motive.
The question was thoroughly
discussed and settled. 1t is not
for me to say that the wisdom
and best discretion of the democ-
racy of the state did not find ex-
preston in their action.
They defined the scope and
fixed the limits of executive au-
thority. Ghey carefully assorted
the offices to be filled, determined
what should be elective, what APP

assembly of the state discretion
In such, matter as TO offices

A PARISH PRIMARY.

1t is getting along towards the
time when Winn parish citizens
will nominate ticket for the gen.
cral election which takes place
next April.
Already the matter is being dis
cussed and those anxious to know
are wondering why something is
not being done in the premises.
There is lot of preliminary work
to be done and only about eight
mouths in which to arrange every
thing and hold the election.
There are a dozen or more candi-
dates already in the woods, but
they are at present in deep water,
not knowing how nominations are
to be made, and they don't know
precisely which string to pull.
It all rests with the Parish Ey-
ecutive Committee as to time
and methods of nominations and
as the time is growing short. we
would suggest that the committee
get together at an early date and
begin to do something. There
are vacancies to fill and after this
is done it will require some time
to settle on method of nomina-
ton. as we understand some OF
the committee hold to the con-
vention as being the best plan
while others favor a white pri-
mary. 1t is our desire that we
have a primary. and that it be a
primary participated IN only by
white Democrats.
It is our opinion that a con-
yention will he called TO nomi-
nate a state ticket. and that this
convention will be held some
time in December. At the time
parish nominations are made del
egates to the state convention
must be chosen, hence, the parish
nominations must be made before
the state convention takes place.
The time is growing short and the
local candidates desire time to
make their races, as the nomina-
ton is equivalent to election. and
practically all the campaigning
must be done before the. nomina-
ton Is made il all are to have a
fair show. The people don't
want snap-judgement in the mat
ter. They want time to find out
who is who.
Let the Parish Executive Com
nittee be called together at once
and begin to do something.
