REPUBLICAN HYPOCRISY.
How q Colored Brother Was Showed
Under in Boston.

There was mayoralt} election In
Boston the other day anil the Demo
Gratis carried. the city, re-electing
Mayor Collins by large majority.
That showed good judgement on the
part Of Boston voters, bu5 it was not
the signifcart features of the election.
Among the candidates on the Repub-
lican ticket vas one Isaac Allen, col
ored who was nominated for street
commissioner. He, with the rest Of
his party, was defeated, and the same
result would have followed had be been
a white man, no doubt. bat the main
feature of the election, SO far as he
was concerned, was the fact that he
ran $4,000 votes behind his ticket.
No Democrat voted for him, Of course,
so ne have $4,000 white Republicans
scratching the name Of a negro candi-
date on their own ticket. These are
the same sort Of men w1o insist that
the negro ought to have his rights"
who denounce the Soutl for passing
election laws which distranctise him,
and who applaud and support Roose-
velt in foisting incompetent negro
officials on Southern communities
against the protest Of business and all
other interests which govern and con-
troll them.
Something Of the sarae sort occur
red in a New Jersey election held
some time previous to the Boston cleo
tion, and it will be the case whenever
blind theorists OF self-seeking politi-
clans attempt to ignore God i'm
planted sentiment. Bo;ton, however,
is the hot bed of such hypocrisy, and
this exhibition on the . lrt Of the Re
publican voters makes lat hypocrisy
more dIsgusting.than eVer.-Coiumola

After the Governor.

A lunatic escaped from the sailors
and soldiers home at Grand Island
this afternoon, entered Gov. Micky's
office at Lincoln, Neb., and, brandish-
ing large knife, declared that Unit

posing OF office appointments, and at

BY smooth words and promises the
luoatic finally was placated but he es-
capped before the police could be called.

ing Presidential politics in a commit
tee room when one Of the members
said: "Her, is Hanna ready to enter
upon a new six year term Mach 4,

a BIG INCREASE.
The Assessed Property in This State
Compared With 1909.

Comptroller General Jones has COM
piled some interesting figures showing
the assessed valuation Of property in
this State FOR the year 1903 as COM
pared with 1902. There is a decrease
in the property outside OF towns and
cities which the comptroller general
says can be explained only by the fact
that some county auditors have er-
roneouslv included county property in
cities and towns. Following are the
figures:

]. Y. Sanders Our Next
Lieutenant Governor

The State of Louisiana can boast
OF few more prominent or promising
young men than Jared Y. Sanders,
OF st. Mary. He has already proven
his ability and his claims upon the
people of this State for recognition.
His long service in the House OF
Representatives and in the Consti-
tutlonal Convention aud his record
as Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives. are only few OF the
outward evidences of his high
character and his great abilitis.
He is u strong and forceful law
yer, logical pleader. fine debater.
and q fluent and engaging public
speaker. He represents the, vlrile,
progressive and aggressive young
America Of today. He does not
live in the past or base his claims
upon mere sentiment. He is an
active factor in public affairs in
Louisiana. He is helping to make
history for the State and for the
Democratic party, and it is the very
best OF history at that. He is per-
sonally one OF the finest specimens
of physical manhood In the State
to-day and his mental callbre is Of
the same mold. Strong, quick,
vigorous, powerful in mind and
body. he is the ideal public maa
and successful leader of men. While
in disposition he is positive and in
expression emphatic, lie is neither
dogmatic nor harsh IN judgment or
expression. He Is one Of the most
genial of men, courteous, affable
and generous to fault.
It is we'll that Louisiana is to have
such q Northumberland. He
will preside over the august senate
with great dignity and ability. He
is a trained and experienced parl'a-
men,arian, quick in judgment and
firm though courteous in decision.
He will at once have the respect
and admiration of his fellow-Seha-
tors, and he will perform the other
high duties of his office with ability
and in strict accord with an accept.
able and creditable service. :,
Alr. Sanders is popular all over
the State, but especially in Baton
Rouge, where he is we'll known and
highly esteemed. There is not the
shadow of doubt that he will be
with US in May, filling. the second
Office In tue gift OF the people.
His old friends at the State Capt.
tai are proud Of the brilliant future
that lies before him, AMI tue Advo-
cate will cordially join with them in
extending him q welcome to his
