10 the Editor Of The Emes-Domocrat

To the Editor of The hmes-Democrat
Allow me to state, through the columns
of your valued paper why N. @. Blan-
chard is opposed by the best people Of
Shreveport for the position Of Governor.
A few years back Shreveport was without
a creditable school building and some Of
her foremost property holders started a
movement to erect q building and tax
themselves, which was finally agreed to
and accomplished. When N. G. Blan-
chard was requested to fix his signature
he refused point blank, and did not give
one cent. Now, how he can come and
ask for the Shreveport vote is more than
/ can understand. The writer has not
spent less than two thousand dollars per
annum in Shreveport for the past fifteen
years. Yet, if it had not been for the
free schools his children would not have
received as high an education as they
have. The writer has in mind n fam
lily that had eight children that had to
be educated here in the public schools,
and now they are occupying honorable
positions in the mercantile world. No,

SMALL AFFAIR AFTER ALL.

@ na n
Many OF BlanchaFd's rallies seem to be
large principally on paper. We were
prepared to believe that lis Shreveport
reception, the other day, wasa great
ovation as that might be expected from
"a candidates home parish. People, out
Of courtesy win attend q reception given
IN honor Of q home man oven when they
are opposed TO him and his ways.
But it seems from TIC. following com
m%unication from reliable gentlemen OF
shreveport that the Blanchard ovation"
was in reality nothing great, certainly
nothing to merit the account that the
blanchard correspondent sent out
Shreveport, Ia, Nov. s, 1903.
Editor Of the Picayune AS she report
of tile Blanchard demonstration given by
your special from this plare is incorrect,
we request the publication 81 this COM
municati0n.
Your special correspondent was misled
or misled himself ia his personal enthu-
siasm.
The retail dealers, Jastremski and
Blanchard men closed their stores by re-
quest of thecommittee OF the friends of
Judge Blanchard, and this fa6t had no
political significance whatsoever
The performance at the theatre-not
THEATRES WAS about twenty minutes
later than at the usual hour. The streets
were not literally packed with people. 2
There were not "about eight hundred
men in line, = but by actual count, includ-
ing the cavalry and police, there were
l65 men in the parade, and d this num-
Der there were about 100 who could vote.
There were not three thousand peo-
pie" assembled at the Courthouse, but
about 600, including ladies and children.
These are facts which are submitted IN
q spirit Of fairness to all concerned.
Respectfully,

Embarrassing Dilemma.

Whenever a candidate has to defend
his past vulnerable record, or in other
words, has To. embark in She business Of
explaining by wholesale, AS is the case
with the Caddo Statesman, he has placed
himself, nolens volens, in q very unen-
viable and embarrassing dilemma, from
which creditable extrication is impossi-
BILE. -Ale1andria Democrat.
With explanations and long worded
speeches Blanchard is striving to mislead
the people from the main issue of the
campaign. He deals in the past, bus
what Of the future? What is his policy ?
His Platform? His strongest plea for
recognition is his claim of experience ac-
quired in the public service which fits
him for the governorship. a statesman
should seek recognition on principles
which would appeal to reason, at least
on something higher than a steady feed
ing at the public crib during t%wenty.four
years, for which he has been fully paid
in honors and in money. Having nc
well defined policy or platform, it is not
surprising that he is jill i dilemma when
he eonfr0nts General JastremsH, the
peoples candidate for governor, a man
with,a policy and a platform, who is ia
favor Of the Tule Of Gle people, by the
people and for the peobH shreveport
